I'm working with a GH4 now. Hate it!
I do run an Atomos Ninja 2 to record in ProReZ HQ for better color grading via 10-bit, 4:2:2 color depth and subsampling. I use old Canon FD lenses because I want the old school look.
If I had a bunch of cash, I'd probably buy a Panasonic EVA-1 and an S1H as an A/B camera setup. Probably going to buy the V-log L upgrade for my GH4 to get closer to the Varicams colors since I already use the Varicam's LUTs for grading.
I'm generally pleased with the footage, but it's mostly because of bypassing most everything in the GH4. Audio I use a preamp. Colors I shoot flat and grade in post. Basically have it rigged like a cinema camera, but I don't get the cinematic images, lol!

I'm still using a G7 I don't have a real reason to upgrade, since I'm happy with the results I'm getting

The reason I upgrade is for more dynamic range and to shoo B roll in 120fps
Both solid reasons! However, atm I do a lot of talking head, so it's not the most neede haha!
Yeah, outdoors you're clawing and scraping for every bit of dynamic range you can get, especially for those of use with dark skin tones against a bright sky. That's why I just bought V-log L.
I donΓÇÖt really record facecam, but even when I do I still use a Logitech c920. Records direct to the computer and keeps out of the way of my drawing.
Oh, I'm running the E2C by Z-cam now. Sold my GH4. I'd love to have the Super 35 for an A-cam and the E2C M43 as a b-cam, but for now I just have the M43 version.
Yup the S1H is a very solid Panny option. The GH4 was good in its time (actually pretty good!).
Ha ha .I wanna upgrade for that same reason. I bought this camera when I started my photography journey and now that I've improved I feel soo limited .I can't shoot any higher thang 60fps to get those juicy grills lol
Well... I shoot with my videos with a nikon D5500. Plus features for me right now are the swivel screen and Wi-Fi capabilities lol. But I wanna sell both my Nikon d5500 And canon 5D mark2 to upgrade and get something with more dynamic range since I shoot photographs occasionally and want high-speed sync, shoot at higher frame rates and other fancy features lol
It's Great I'll have a Full Review on this, once I Get sometime. But I LOVE this Camera.Same how is the G85! That IBIS i've heard is GREAT
