Another interesting fact is the size/weight of the new GH5.

GH5 138.5 x 98.1 x 87.4 mm and 725gr.

NX1 is 138.5x102.3x65.8 mm (or 14.0 x 10.2 x 6.6 cm in other measurements) and 550grs.

And for comparison, Nikon D750 140.5x113x78 mm, 840grams.

I understand that it is a semi pro (or pro) video orientated camera, but the increase in size and weight is substantial; main reason should be IBIS and special cooling system for the in-camera processing and recording, still, m4/3 is reaching dSLR territory.

The Sony a6500 is 453 g, including batteries eheheh!!!

This hate towards Sony cameras is really strange... why are people in this forum constantly ignoring Sony cameras?

We are talking about top ergonomic cameras, the ergonomics of the a6xxx series is similar to NXxxx cameras, not top handling pro bodies.

a6300 (smaller than the a6500, but doesn't have IBIS, so it is a more direct comparison to NX500) is 120 x 67 x 49 millimeters 405gr

NX500 is 119.5 x 63.6 x 42.5 mm and 287gr with NO battery, I couldn't find a measurement with battery, but it must be around 320gr

Fuji X-T2 is 91.8 x 132.5 x 49.2 millimeters and 507gr. Also in Sony measurements one has to consider the extra batteries per sessions, nothing like NX and Panasonic (I have no experience with Fuji though) that with 2 batteries can shoot professionally for a whole day.

We have talked extensively about a6xxx cameras; only you, have started around 84 threads about them in 2016, the Sony has incredible low light capabilities and no much else vs other camera systems. The same Sony sensors are reaching better image quality in Nikon and Fuji cameras.
