I beg to differ.
SIgma Fp full frame RAW output to SSD
Panasonic S1 V-LOG 10bit 422
Nikon Z6 ProRes RAW
And arguably GH5S codec is pretty good looking.

What a honest and noble behavior - not just to admit similar quality, but also to further explain it. Hat down, sir.

He has done an excellent job of matching color spaces solely using color tools. A 3x3 matrix is kind of like a uniform accordion of R,G & B space, the cleanest tool for the job. The unique advantages to this approach are its tweak-ability, and that it won't clip boundary data in Resolve if you place a grade before the powergrade (grade after though; preserve core logc)

Well, since I am getting back into my GH5 / GH5S, I'll be doing my own tests but it's not looking good for the Blackmagic.
Is 10bit LOG at 400Mbit ALL-I all most of us ever need? What is the point of sacrificing so many features, battery life, and so much ergonomic niceness for a Pocket 4K?

The A7iii is a good allround video camera and really excellent stills camera (I do own it), but no cinema camera because of its weak codecs and 8bit limitation, no matter how you rig it up.

Wanna get the highest video quality with Sony A7III camera and turn it into "Cinema Camera"! So which brand accessories should i buy for achieving best quality?
1. External monitor for recording with the highest frame rate & please  add your suggested settings for external video shooting.
2. SSD or SD for your mentioned external monitor. 
2. Rig/Cage.
3. Follow Focus for manual and for wireless using.
4. Matt boxes.
5. Power supply (V mount/Gold Mount/or)
6. V mount/Gold Mount/or Lock plate
7. Wireless transmitter so the director or focus puller can see the image
If there is something that i forgot, but you advise me to use or add, please tell me, thanks.
 

Well, its been a while and its changed quite a bit....
But this is your official 7 day countdown for pre-orders opening on 12/12/19.
As the festive season is approaching then in true advent calendar style, open this thread every day for more stuff.

I have played a little with these luts today (daylight and tungsten) and I like what I see. Proper exposure and whitebalance and picture look really nice with healthy skin tones. Good job!
I let the more advanced users to comment more later.

If the BMPCC4K camera has a Still button to take images why can't we just simply preview them in camera? it would be really helpful and must have feature.

Hi guys. This won't be a gear-related post, but more of just a thread to show you something important to me.
This summer was rough. Fiance left, both parents got cancer, lost my grandparents and that is just the tip of the iceberg. So in July, i left. I packed a duffle and booked a studio apartment outside Reyjkavik for a week. Of course, I took my BMPCC4K. This is not so much a gear "look at how good my shots and coloring are" (kinda) but more I just wanted to share this place with everyone.. even if it is just a little slice.
For the grade, I converted BMDFilm to Linear, CST to LogC, and from there use the Impulz Cineon process, using 5207 on input and 2383 on output and graded in between.
 

Have this lens. Image stabilization works very well. It's controlled by the camera and by default is ON. You can turn it off in the menu (Setup).  Am sure was mentioned before but IS on BMPCC 4K works only when you start recording if you are using the internal battery. Obviously this is made to preserve the battery which doesn't last long. If you use external battery IS works all the time before recording and during recording. 
During firmware upgrade was also stuck at 70% but after some time camera said upgrade finished and it works OK. That was my second try. First try disconnected by accident the USB cable. But after re connection was able to start upgrade from scratch and finish it successfully. So in my understanding firmware upgrade is well thought out.
But new firmware 6.6 broke (again) Viltrox speed booster functionality. Aperture and  IS don't work with Viltrox firmware version 2.3 neither with version 3.3.☹️ 

Here's a more detailed list:
Support for Blackmagic Pocket Battery Grip
Support for new horizon meter tool
4K 2.40:1 (4096 x 1712) recording up to 60 fps in Blackmagic RAW (4K model)
2.6K (2688 x 1512) recording up to 120 fps in Blackmagic RAW (4K model)
2.8K 4:3 (2280 x 2160) recording up to 80 fps in Blackmagic RAW (4K model)
2x desqueeze preview when recording 2.8K 4:3
1.33x desqueeze preview when recording in 16:9 and 17:9 formats
Pinch to zoom up to 8x magnification
USB PTP control support
New 1:1 and 4:5 frame guide options
New ability to type in custom frame guide ratios
Improve auto focus performance
Language localizations

Beg to differ, my experience is just the reverse one. With P4K (Braw) one can do what ones wants, go in both directions ("organic" vs "digital"); not with GH5. Yellow-red shift could depend on lenses, settings, lights etc. "Run & Gun" section also depends on what one is shooting.

today's test: 
BMMCC - best colors and overall look , a little noisy picture, but the noise is pleasant. Moire problem. But overall he is the winner! (Slowmo 60p) 
at ISO 400 is slightly cleaner in the shadows. (Native is 800) . It is not a modern clear picture, but as a best film emulation.
BMPCC (orig) - same as BMMCC but only 30p (a little more noise and moire than BMMCC)
BMPCC4K - worse colors and overall picture is shifted to yellow-red?  sharp highlights rolloff ? the picture is far more difficult to correct and color than the old pocket ?
the picture is cleaner , but it gets a "video look" ,  The shape of the body is terrible.  I gave a second chance and really didn't ... I put it back.
GH5 - The best tool for run & shot - Worse colors than BMPCC4K but not much, excelent IBIS ! , battery life, adjustable display and viewfinder. Very economical codec for all day shooting. It's a winner if you need quick and comfortable shooting.  It is a modern clear picture. Winner for RUN & GUN Shooting
 
So everything stays the same, I keep GH5 for modern picture style, BMMCC for film emulation project. 
BMPCC4K - not necessary ?

                     

No, the look is different, the new pocket 4k is worse...

Still 24mp, 4k30p 420 8bit, and no log

We don't have AF on the P4K or P6K anyway.... ?

I pity all those trying to sell a new p4k online for 1735 euro ...

Let the speculation begin:

the best documentary shots I do when my camera can't be seen.
