Let me address your points.

Almost the same featureset?
- How is the IBIS on the NX1. Not there. It is very nice for video. A serious difference. -True, and like I said, this is the one thing that I really want from it.
- 400 MBps? -I dont want 400mbps. I dont see compression artifacts on my 160mbps vasile mod and I dont want to take up that much space
- 4:2:2 10 bit is much better for colourgrading. -again, I dont have any problems color grading my nx1 footage. I've never once seen banding or and color issues.
- Lens choice.... -45mm, 30mm, 12mm rokinon, 16-50s, 50-150s. So what am I missing exactly?
- add a speedbooster (with stabilisation)? -True, but I can get this with a much cheaper GH4
- 180 fps slomo? -120 is fine for my needs.
- Flip outscreen? -This would be nice for taking video of myself, but not a deal breaker
- 3,7 MP EVF (!!) -I would like a nice big EVF, but again, the one on the nx1 is really nice and works great as well.
- low light -4 eV autofocus? -Many cameras claims this, and few deliver. that being said I use manual focus in video so it's kind of a moot point for me.
- Add on equipment for mik;s etc? -the nx1 has one of the best quality internal preamps. I use a rode wireless lav plugged directly into the nx1 with excellent results.
The only thing NX1 has left is a 28 MP APS-c sensor. Virtually everything else is inferior to GH5. At least on paper. -Excatly, on paper. and unless the real world image quality is vastly superior to the nx1, than the extra paper specs mean nothing.
What it means for you or anyone else only you can tell. But the specs of the GH5 are clear which is why it gets so much attention everywhere. -it's very clear why it's an awesome camera. If I didnt already own the nx1 and I was in the market it would be looking pretty. I'm just saying its not worlds better than what I already have.
