Re: (budget) Replacement for E-P5 with better video?

At the end, I went to Panasonic G7.

The lack of in body stabilization is a downside. Panasonic's Power O.I.S. helps, but it's not even as effective as IBIS of my E-P5.

The camera is light (plastic body) and it is really easy to carry with Rode Video Micro attached. The AF works fine on casual videos.

Camera itself feels more like toy than camera when compared to my old E-P5. The picture quality however is a slight better and video is just from another world. There's no comparison between full HD quality. Panasonic is just so good.

With 12-60mm 3.5-5.6 lens G7 seems to be good allround camera for videos and snapshots.

However there's something that I miss: The auto ISO does not work in full manual video mode and in the shutter priority video mode, I cannot see the selected aperture or ISO value so it's hard to know when aperture is near minimum value when taking video under constantly changing light.
