GH5 Available for Pre-Order at $2k, amazing features.

Seems like a great camera for what it is. But are pros going to seriously shoot larger projects with a $2k camera? Really no difference in market viability from the GH4. Those who cannot afford a better camera will buy it and it looks to be more than capable in skilled hands. But it's still a consumer M43 camera. I think it will show up as a B or C camera on a lot of broadcast stuff and a few talented people will work around its limitations to do some dazzling work just as they did with the GH4. I am glad that Panasonic has upped its game with it but it's definitely not for me, I find the form factor, M43 FOV and noise too unappealing for my work. But I think it will be pretty successful, just like the GH4 was.
