I had an S1H...went to the s5iix and am back to my S1H. S1H image was truly one of a kind with that OLPF.

I have ran with the S5 + VA for a long time. The only real benefit of BRAW is file size and playback speed. You will get no additional benefits in DR or "motion cadence"

Try applying this LUT to your footage on export, (it is in the export window settings in Premiere)

It fixes the gamma problem.

All I care about is if they fixed the HDMI lag.

I have both and they are easily matched.. They are nearly identical color wise when placed side by side. The main difference to me is the highlight rolloff is softer on pocket series.  The S line is nice due to the lack of noise, but the codec is more intensive on the CPU. But there is IBIS. Pick your poison 

@HockeyFan12 I think others have mentioned online that it does not allow highlight recovery.

Anyway, sold the GH5 and have an S5 now. First wedding today. Let's see how it does! 

Panasonic S1x series?

I had the same problem when comparing the camera to my P4k. Even if sent at the exact white balance, the S5 had much different skin tones and had to have the tint/temp corrected.
Which leads me to the conclusion of this camera (Compared to the P4K)
S5 is a great camera that produces very sharp, clean images. Despite being shot in VLOG (With NR + Sharpness set to 0)  and with a Contax Zeiss 28mm, I still had to add blur to the footage to soften it a bit. At high ISO the grain is very fine, and pleasing. In the right settings it can produce a great image (Which can be said about a most cameras). IBIS is a plus. Huge plus. The 10bit codec holds up well, and I have no problem applying a grade via Dehancer. The LongGOP codec is not fun to work with, but then again nothing will edit as smooth as Prores/Braw.
So why did I return it. I feel something in the image is off. If you shoot a landscape / overview / nature, everything looks great. But as soon as you ad a person to the scene, something does not sit well. It is hard to explain. It has this look I am not a fan of, and I feel the motion is off. (I shoot at 25p and 180 shutter degree) Sunlight the camera is amazing. As are many. But as soon as you throw it in an uncontrolled light setting, it does retain the same nice look as the Blackmagic does.
The footage in the right settings looks great. But requires more massaging to get the look I want color wise.  
In the end I will be sticking with my P4K and will go down in a blaze of unstable shaky footage. 

Panasonic S1x series?

More DR does not make an image look better, as there is so much more that goes into it. The entire Lumix line has more DR than all the BM line, yet Blackmagic looks better.
Even the first pocket camera with it's 10 stops beat out many cameras that came after it.
