The GH5 has been announced (out early next year) and it delivers pretty much everything people have asked for. Good bye competition.

10-bit 4:2:2 and 4k 60p among the highlights.

Wouldn't really be a micro 4/3 then. I personally like the MFT format and see the GH5 being a mega seller. They could develop a full frame system but lots of those out there already. I'd rather see the MFT line fully developed than adding yet another FF to the mix.

10-bit 4:2:2 internally is a BIG BIG thing. Hopefully it's not just HD...

What about the price, is there any information available? We are about to change our gear, we still have too many HD cameras :) but just don't know is it worth awaiting...

Nothing about price yet, but a new model in a series usually lands on the same price or a little bit higher than the last model was at its introduction.

If it can do that at 4k 60p it will be a dream come true.

It can't; only 30p at those settings

But it can do 4k 60p for an 8-bit output

When I look at the MTF format, it doesn't make me dream at all. I have always been a full frame user and cannot think one instant about going smaller.. And I would love to go bigger to medium formats..

It's mainly for filming. Photography is a secondary bonus with this camera.

I still like the 4k @ 60FPS, but 10 bit 422 would sure be nice.  I really like my GH4 with Metabones light booster adapter, so I am sure to love the GH5.

What is so great about 10-bit 4:2:2? Can someone offer an explanation or a link? I love th micro 3/4 system but still use it mostly for photography.

I like using different sized sensors.  The smaller lenses with MFT mean I can walk around all day with 3 prime lenses in a small camera bag.  I seem to be using it more often than my full frame camera.  The difference in quality isn't a problem, anyone that can't use a MFT camera for stock doesn't know what they're doing.

Sony A7 series e-mount prime lenses are very compact too. And the quality difference is huge for me although I shoot only landscape/cityscape and plenty of low light.

To be brief and easy, it keeps more information after compression so the footage (especially color) resists better during post-prod color correction. It is great for videographer/filmmaker but I don't think it is very important for stock especially micro-stock as many people don't color correct their footage or just lightly.

It's just as great for stock as the buyer is just as likely to want to color correct if the sold clip isn't. The difference in what you can do with 10-bit is quite big.

The importance of 422 in a nutshell:

You will need to upload pro-res, cineform or dnxhd files for that but all of the footage micro-stock websites (SS, pond5, VB) are pushing for h.264 or Mjpeg. Some of them will even re-encode your pro-res files into mjpeg or h.264 that will bring your footage to 8bits back... Only Getty wants exclusively pro-res 422 HQ.

I always upload ProRes HQ where it makes sense. Every agency wants it/takes it. No one re-encodes the original resolution.

Most of the Pond5 best-sellers are ProRes HQ these days.
