Please STOP Me From Buying an S5IIX (please!!!)

Adorama (and I am sure other sites) is having a great deal on the Lumix S6II / S5IIX. espescially when you consider they are throwing in the 85mm f/1.8 for free

I am trying so hard NOT to impusle buy one.

My main use would be for video on a gimbal, as the current S1 / S5 are nearly unsuable on a gimbal due to the poor autofocus. Plus 6K at 24 and 30fps.

But the S5IIX still has all the issues I hate dislike severely rom the first gen, such as the bad rolling shutter, and the crop in 4K 60p, and the moire, and the standard picture profiles have heavy noise reduction PLUS are oversharpened

Plus, why would they be discounting so heavily if they don't have something else coming out right away???

AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHH!!!!!
