But they're simply not cinema cameras in the sense that they don't produce an image of the same caliber as a BM cam.
I've really tried to like them, like I've really tried to like a few recent Sony cams - because they're such great small cameras.
It's the IQ - color science, DR, temproal and general mojo - that doens't compare IMHO.
I had gh5, I mixed log shooting with ursa mini and production camera 4K, and along a good developing of all log files, no one can give me the answer about what camera shoot what from 4K master.
All in a perfect exposure, right developing of different log Dr, excellent lenses for all cameras.
Sometimes if you not put all cameras together and check with same target // tool to check real difference from sensors is too easy to told that are large difference on cameras.
Obviously if I need to hard grade gh5 is mandatory that I must shoot in log, 10bit 4:2:2 Intraframe 400mbit, but for someone like me that usually shoot in raw is not a problem.
But I know too many people that buy a Ferrari (gh5) then shoot only 8bit 4:2:0 to save disk space or be cause they thought is enough to work, and later moan because they have limits in post or in color time...
gh5 intra frame codec is another planet when you shoot action, motion shooting, or sport like me.
