No offense, but I think that if you are serious about video to the point that EM1II is not enough and you need a GH5, then you should seriously consider manual focusing (so DFD or not DFD isn't a relevant issue) and lenses especially designed for video...

I already manual focus for video and own a nice set of primes for it.

The reason the EM1  mk2 isn't under consideration is that the while the advertising states a bit rate of just under 237 Mbps it is actually variable and most of the time it spits out around 24Mbps which at 4:2:0 means that the files are brittle and can be difficult to grade.

I would like to maintain a hybrid workflow where one camera can do both stills and video, but it is now looking more likely I'll end up springing for something like a Canon C100. Shame really I had high hopes for the gh5 but the AF seems half baked.
