I am more in the camp of what makes it so bad vs what makes it so great? Nothing either way imho. If they had put out the GH5s with IBIS with the same recording updates and called it the GH5II then I think we would all find more use for the camera as it would be more of an upgrade for many of us. I don't care about the price point as these cameras are all cheaper than the alternative $5,000-$10,000+ cameras for the role they serve. The GH6 will be nice but it needs to be better from an image point of view for me to buy it. For me, the GH5 falls short in noise and DR. This is a sensor shortfall and they chose to keep the same sensor. This is why I am kind of down on the concept. The GH5s was better enough to be a worthy upgrade for video folks but they chose to leave that one alone. So, I don't see the service to what WE see as the target market - video shooters. So I think the MKII should have been the GH5s which is regarded at the batter video camera to begin with.
I am coming at this from a macro view as well as my own business needs (but that is only important to me). If Thomas is correct about minimal gains in light gathering for the GH6, then it would appear that Panasonic is serving too many masters. I do not see photo people cheering for the GH5.
