ya but even there you deliver lower resolution, which is why many shooters prefer anamorphic out of 16:9 or 4:3. With the GX8 sensor, GH5 should have the sufficient oversampling for a much more detailed 2.4.
Newer chip technology - going down to 14-16 nM from 20-22 - should have fewer heat issues. New batteries - and Panasonic is a major global battery manufacturer - should have more juice for a small fan.
- why can't anyone engineer a built in locking port for HDMI? HDMI and the extra time money and hassle it takes to find solutions to it's fundamental weakness are a PITA! Same goes for recorders such as the Shogun and standalone monitors (ok some of those like certain ruige models have built-in locks, but as everyone knows, this practice is far from the norm).
and that!

Intel said (and, yes, I just Googled for this) back in 2013, when the 14 nM chips were still in the final stages of development, that they'd have a 30% better power management than their 22 nM based processors. How exactly that translates to the photo/video cameras - I have no idea. Mind you, these 14 nM chips only began to ship in numbers in the second quarter of 2015. Samsung and LG also have those (or similar) 14-16 nM processors. Qualcomm is not shipping their 14 nM Snapdragon 820 yet but they're going to be made at the Samsung fab anyway. In any case, by the spring 2016, 14-16 nM processors should be in every new smartphone ... and maybe camera too.
Sure but, given the technological advancements in the recent years, an oversampled 4K in any aspect should be the most desired and the more oversampling the camera has the betterits image quality is deemed (subject to the jello effect). DVX200 has a 13 MPX 4K, A7RII 15 MPX, both in 16:9. The next generation should aim for more, much like Alexa65 aims for more than the original Alexa. There's a diminishing effect to color and resolution after the 17.8 and negligible after 26.4 (in 16:9) but the trend is toward more, up to and including 8K.
Panasonic and Fuji have been working on their own organic sensor for several years but it seems that all of their latest camera sensors - the $65,000 Varicam s35 excluded - are sourced from Sony. That usually leaves Panasonic a generation behind in terms of sheer performance but, in return, allows them to pack more features into a given model. And that makes them a leader in the entry level 4K niche while other pick different corners to target.
No disrespect but I really hate this argument. "Casablanca" was shot in B&W in 4:3 ... but "Lawrence of Arabia" wasn't. CGI laden features are, at this point, in 2K usually but that's due to the technological limitations. I guess one can make a decent film with 70D too but most folks with budgets will try for the better cameras. Looking back is counterproductive. Right now, Alexa65 is the model to aspire to. That's the direction the technology will go. "Casablanca" and 2K are in the rear view mirror. 4K is here and 8K is down the road. And there's not much else to it.
I highly doubt it at this price range (under $2,000). 10-bit 4:2:2 via HDMI should be more than sufficient. Now, if Panasonic comes out with an s35 piece for around $5,000, then it might have Raw but it'll be a huge step for the company, as it would mean it's de facto abandoning the MFT format (Varicam, of course, is s35 but it's also priced at ~ $60,000. At some point, everything will migrate down but no one knows when)
That's what I think too. IMO, they'll do the same internal recording as DVX200, with the same chip and the same 10-bit 4:2:2 to the external recorder via the HDMI. One hopes that external recorders will come down in price by then. Something like the Ninja 4K (ProRes HQ) for under $1,000 would make for a nice companion piece.
Actually, I have long said that the quality of the "enthusiast" level cameras - i.e., slightly above Gh4 and more like A7RII - is already good enough to make a live action, rather than CGI laden, feature. But, with the gear and the related hardware prices coming down so quickly, a pro shooter will always seek a "higher ground" tool. That includes resolution - including heavy oversamplng for the Bayer type sensors - to get the color information. And, inevitably, the top of the line, such as Alexa65, will move to a greater sensor size and a greater pixel count and will have a higher dynamic range, resolution, improved color rendering, etc.
