HDMI output and touch-to-magnify while recording 4K video with Panasonic GX8

Hi

i found this post and it is actual for me now.

Most of all i'll use G85 or GX8 for live stream in 720p/1080p and your points are the closest to me.

Here are a summary of the limitations:

• GX8 has no (clean) HDMI output while recording internally; that is, no external monitor while recording internally. Not necessarily a big problem, though, all Sony cameras have excellent clean HDMI output.

1) no clean HDMI output while recording internally. Is it on G85 too?

• A real show-stopper of GX8, though, might be that its IBIS doesn't work with video, a most important task for IBIS; for a 4K video camera with IBIS (two selling points), and these features do not work with each other. The IBIS in Sony and Olympus cameras all work brutaly fine for video. Still, I can live with the optically stabilized 4K videos, I just have to remember when I am buying lenses for GX8.

2) I'm surprised that the GX8 does not have an IBIS during the video. Maybe it's only at 4k? or at 1080 30 / 60p too? Could you clarify this?

3) Is there an IBIS in G85 for video? since this is a newer model and they claimed some kind of DUAL IBIS 2.0. Its important point and for 1080 30/60p and for 4k

• For enthusist videographers using external microphones is so important, and weirdly the GX8 has a 2.5" mic-in and no headphone jack; weird in a $1200 4K camera. Again I can live with this since I very often use external recorders, and an 3.5 - 2.5 cable is only $5.
• Another missing feature in all m43 camera including the GX8 is that "no magnification while recording video", this is a terribly important feature when videoing with high quality (speed boosted) manual focus (Canon EOS L) lenses to make 100% sure the accuracy of the focus plane. This function is available in all Sony cameras. With the GX8 you must rely on the unmagnified focus peaking during video. On my A5100 while recording, I gently tap on the touch-screen and the camera opens a magnified view with focus peaking, and I can verify the accuracy. With some practice I can execute a very smooth, perfectly controlled focus pull wih this technique. Of course, this magnification is not relevant when AF is used for video. I think I can live with this limitation, too, GH4 is regarded as one of the best video cameras and it has exactly the same limitation.
• As explained in http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panasonic_Lumix_GX8/ when recording 4K video, the GX8 has a 1.25 field-of-view magnification factor, that is it makes a 31mm lens from a 25mm. Again when I buy a 12mm lens, I should be keep in mind that I will not have the "24mm-EQ" field of view when recording 4K.
