Thanks for the reply.

Speaking of the G85...

I see it is on sale for $797 including the 12-60mm OIS Kit lens. I have a $200 credit at Adorama so that might work.

So now I have to decide if I go for the BMPCC4K as my A Cam, or for the GH5 as my A Cam and the G85 as my B cam / son's camera...

You're welcome.

It's up to you. That would still be about $200 more than you had specified. See the message from James and my reply to him. It looks like GX8 and E-M5 mark II would also be possibilities.

As for BMPCC4k vs GH5, I think it really depends on what kind of work you're hoping to do with it. The BMPCC seems more geared specifically to cinema-style video shooting, while the GH5 seems more geared to everyday, run-and-gun, documentary, etc style of video production, plus photography.
