The $199 Z Camera E1 vs Panasonic GH4: 4K Video

I am very intrigued by this camera and I did purchase the z camera just waiting for it to arrive. Around $200 and it does the same thing that the DJI X5 does. Btw, I learned that the X5 cameras utilize the same mft sensor which is coincidentally similar to the GH4 and Z camera e1. The Dji X5 also shoots the same bit rate, 4k, and has around the same dynamic range with it's D Log... I have found the images from the DJI X5 drone footage to be exceptional compared to most cameras. The DJI phantom 4, pro, would be better, but I would venture to say that the E1 camera would be more on the dji mavic (air) level of quality?

Does the Z camera e1 utilize full sensor readout in 4k DCI? I have heard that it keeps the 2.0 crop like gh5 and not the 2.4 like the gh4.

Also, could you confirm the metabones adapter works. I have seen maybe one video of the MB and E1 but no signs of control over lens..
