Ah, good find Simon.

You have been on the hunt. So when did they say you take delivery?

[Simon Denny]

I think March mate at this stage, I'm in no hurry as I have a stack of editing to complete and I'm really looking forward to this new camera, could be the look I'm after and have been chasing for a long time.

It's a new system completely for me, glass, batteries etc... so not a cheap exercise but one I'm willing to go with based on information and images I have seen on the net and also a ton of research on Panasonic and also going back through the GH4 and checking that out. Gh4 owners seem pretty happy.

I've been with Sony for ever and was disappointed in the a6500 release (I was going to grab one) and feel that Panasonic have just ticked all the boxes for what I need.

Cheers

It's good to know too that once the XLR pod is plugged in the camera's built-in analog-to-digital converter, and hopefully the preamp as well, that receives the input via the camera's 3.5mm jack can be totally bypassed to get a cleaner signal no matter how it is recorded, 48kHz, 16 bit or 96kHz, 24 bit.

I downloaded these 4K GH5 Vlog clips from Neumann films Edited with Sony Vegas pro14 and graded them with Magic Bullet film

Man I can't wait for the camera, out of all the gear I've ever purchased this one feels good as a pre purchase.
There is heaps of content on line now and more dripping out everyday. Do what Brian has and download the clips, colour grade and have a look, I have and with great results in Premier Pro.

Also there is a FB page which I find a great resource.

The clips graded great too using only FCPX. No Resolve, no fancy plugins and using only my imagination with no LUT. It should be one hell of a video camera.

Why is the motion signature all messed up on these clips, they play back very stuttery on my iMac and I have fiber optic and the clips load up quickly but look all messed up?

Mate got a gh5 loaner from panny for a couple days. I did lighting for a short he used it on and played with it a bit. The point to point focus worked great... just like the old fx1 days. Bummer was that it didn't like either of my speed boosters if i used a zoom lens. It must require some kind of firmware update. Overall... a nice little upgrade. Did a couple of face tracking autofocus moves with talent walking up to the camera and it nailed it.

What about "Continuous Autofocus", how does it works?

I wouldn't expect to much, maybe a minor improvement compared to the gh4, if it was a big improvement they would have shown it's capabilities but from what I have seen so far it's not that impressive.

Panasonic has made it clear the cameras that were out there for testing were very early betas and that the CAF would improve significantly upon final release.

we"ll believe it when we see it.

Unbelievable - nah. However definitely not infallible as various videos from it have attested to, including I think one of yours when you made similar boasts. I'd take good focus peaking over a more reliable auto focus any day. Now in an ideal World, I'd like both, but it's not an ideal World.
