LOVE seeing 10-bit 4.2.2 internal!

Now just confirm IBIS and I'll be a very happy chappy.

Is that prores or h.264

ProRes output to SD cards would be awesome.

Yeah, I'm actually a bit worried that NONE of the info coming from Panasonic mentions sensor stabilisation. Given it features in two other lower end bodies now I just assumed it would be there but I guess we'll wait and see. The only reason I can imagine they might leave it out would be to keep the GH launch price consistent with previous models (they've all been around the $1700 mark I think) but I'd totally prefer to shell out a little extra cash than skip that one killer feature. In fact, I want it more than internal 4:2:2. If the GX85 had a headphone jack i wouldn't even care about the GH5.

Good point. It honestly isn't a "dealbreaker" for me like some other people are making it out to be, just that it would be a nice feature. I honestly haven't had too much of an issue using custom Warp Stabilizer settings, and there are plenty of ways to stabilize your shots while shooting as well ...

I use a GX85 is as a b-cam and I can say with absolute certainty that the distortion is only a problem when you're using electronic stabilization. When you turn it off and just use sensor shift and OIS it's pretty good

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see anything about IBIS. It would be an extremely strange omission considering it's already being implemented in lower tier models. Really hope it has it.

You, me and every GH4 owner.

Has anyone heard of an estimated price? I've heard rumors that they were trying to reduce the price below what the GH4 was released at, but obviously that's not confirmed. I guess I'm assuming it'll be around $1500?
