Genlock and timecode got such a big wow out of me I missed the rest of the rumours post, big wow, wow, wow...

Sensor width could be just round off. We are only talking 40 microns.

BGH1 19mm x 13mm
GH5 17.3mm x 13mm

My bad, you were referring to the gh5, I was thinking gh5s

Those specs are the same size as the GH5S sensor. The GH5S sensor is larger than the GH5 sensor, due to the fact that it is multi-aspect ratio sensor. So the sensor area fills the full Micro 4/3 image circle (21.6 mm diagonal) whether shooting in 17:9 aspect ratio (4096 x 2160) or in 4:3 aspect ratio (for stills or anamorphic shooting). In contrast, the GH5 sensor is a 4:3 aspect ratio sensor that does a vertical crop when shooting 4K (17:9 or 16:9 aspect ratio) video, resulting in a smaller image diagonal and smaller effective sensor area in 17:9/16:9 than in 4:3 modes.

Here is the spec sheet for the GH5S sensor if you are interested in the specifics:

Obviously no 8K with this new camera. What little has been leaked so far sounds like an incremental step up from the GH5S, and not the sort of quantum jump in specs that I expected from the GH5... which is getting close to being four years old at this point.

This makes me wonder if the BGH1 is a little smoke to distract us from the main event for a while.

I'm scratching my head.

No ND
No EVF

Apart from BNC and Genlock, why not just use a GH5S? The BGH1 makes for a very small niche use case.

I’m guessing it doesn’t have the horrible HDMI lag of the LUMIX series
