Until recently there wasn't any camera at this form factor without any kind of crop at 4K.

Even huge and expensive Canon cameras have crop, most M cameras crop and no dual pixel.  D500, a6XXX have terrible 1080p and some form of crop anyway on different modes.

Fuji used to have terrible crop and file size limits.

NX500 is 5 years old, give it some credit. It was almost 800€ new..it was almost free for 2015..I gave as much for the extra version with 2 batteries and charger.

The problem is thermal. To make a pro video tool on a tiny m43 sensor, Panasonic made the GH5 a beast, both in size and weight. The GH5 is heavier and bigger than the NX1, mind you..

The 18-200 is a do it all lens. I take it on holidays if I do not want to carry much. I had it with me on a recent trip on an ancient city.

16-50 is fine for most things. Similar offerings from other brands, we are not missing much here. Only lenses we are missing a Pro S UWZ (like the 10-24mm Fuji) and long teles, everything else is covered.
