If you want those things there are plenty of other cameras to go and buy. Those crews won't be bothered about open vents because they will have rain covers. I think it is going to be an awesome camera, and yes you may need to add a viewfinder or monitor depending how you are going to shoot but make no mistake this camera is a game changer. My fear is (I have pre-ordered) that the volume of orders will shock BM and even if BM ship in September I may not see mine till this time next year or even later. This camera does change everything (particularly) if it is good in low light and the audio pre amps are spot on. Battery life at an hour is cool with me. My mission now is to find a tiny HD EVF. Any suggestions!
I was more of thinking of documentaries, live events, and one man bands when it comes to IBIS, continuious autofocus, and weather proofing, which they also seem to be aiming this camera for. But like I said, the Pocket having none of these is not a deal breaker for me, unless the GH5s and A7iii slash $1000 by Sept.
