I've been excited about the gh5 since I heard the rumors that it would be coming out. The 4k 60p and 10 bit 422 are exciting features.

That being said, I am perfectly happy sticking with my nx1 for now. I just don't see enough of a difference to dump 3k or more (including a decent lens) for almost the same feature set.

Technically the 10 bit should be able to be pushed better in post, but I have not had any problems with my nx1 footage and just don't see it being that much better for me. Espicially since i absolutely love the color and image that I'm getting out of my nx1. If anything I may invest in the 16-50s and stop thinking about other cameras entirely.

At this point the only thing that is really enticing to me about the gh5 is the stabilization. I'm just not ready to drop the money for that. I'd much sooner buy a ronin m which now go for under 1k USD.

Don't get me wrong, the gh5 looks like a sweet camera, but it's just not better enough to warrant my dropping the money to move away from my nx1.
