New L-Mount Lumix (cinema?) Camera

But is it 3328x2496 ready from the full sensor?  If so, that would be 60fps open gate.  Just at 8-bit 4:2:0 and also with no HDMI output available.

I think it's derived from the full sensor area.

But I don't think it's really comparable with the S1 ii no-crop 5088 x 3392 3:2 at 60p.

Neither of them can manage the full sensor resolution (S1ii 6000x4000, GH5 5184 x 3888) at 60p.

Sure, the S1II is nicer.  One would hope so, given that it's 8 years newer than the GH5.

But if shooting anamorphic, for instance, one might prefer the GH5 if using a 1.8x (end result is 2.4:1) to the S1 II (need to use 1.6x to get to 2.4:1.

Anyway, if the use case specifically is "needs to be a hybrid sensor" and "needs to shoot 5k open gate," the S1II is clearly the best and maybe only camera on the market that one can buy.  I'm still taking the position that the above combination of characteristics isn't hugely useful for most shooters.  😃

I’ve started shooting mostly in open gate on my S5ii. It’s really very handy. If I had 6K 50p open gate I’d probably use it 80% of the time.

Ditto, but I don’t want it enough to €2k+ per camera to trade for it!
