The NX1 is still a great camera. The S lenses are fantastic too !

I have the A7 III (with 35,50,85 1.4 Zeiss/GM lenses) and the GH5 as well, and I still prefer to use my NX1 with the S lenses.

The A7 III stills are flat and need color correction to be pleasant. The IBIS is very bad and I dislike the video gammas , the highlights roll off are just ugly. S-log is better but needs to set @800 ISO minimum and this gamma is a pain to grade .
The advantages of the A7III are the lowlight and the lenses (the 85mm GM is a gem), but nothing else.

The GH5 has great IBIS and nice light telezooms. I prefer the videos from the GH5 compared to the A7III, but the image is not clean, there is noise even @ISO 200 in video (ISO 100 is better but the dynamic range is bad). And It's hard to get shallow DOF, the dynamic range is very limited (for stills) and pictures lack fine details.

I tried quickly the Panasonic S1 and the image is great, it remind me the NX1 but better ! The IBIS is very good too. I really consider the S1 like the true succesor of the NX1.But Im afraid the Panasonic S line will get the same fate than the NX; the lenses are great but too expensive for a newcomer in the FF world.
