Gh5s - if it is real will it get your money?

My video are pretty normal and so I am going G9 for the 60 fps 4k and 180 fps 1080P. But if I did a lot of wedding, documentary, or music videos I think a camera such as the rumored Gh5s with a set of very fast primes (PL or Oly PRO) would make this a pretty special camera if it also has 4K 4:2:2 10 bit.

You can get UHD 60p from the newly announced Canon Vixia GX10 in a camcorder form factor. It has dual pixel auto focus, but it is not a stills shooter. It’s not a G9 or a GH5s but doesn’t cost like them either. No one has seen a GX10, yet as it was only available in the last few days.

That's true but I have about 5K in m43 lenses that I need to use:)

If I buy the GX10, I’ll get to reuse a couple hundred dollars in filters:)

As a happy GH4 user I would definitely give it some thought. I am very close to purchasing a GH5 (mainly for the IBIS) but will wait a couple weeks to see if this rumour materializes. Likely not what I need, and sounds like it may be more expensive. The sensor is rumoured to be a high dynamic range 10 mpixel capable of 120fps UHD.

I'm loving my GH5. In addition to 10bit 4k. the 2.0 firmware update enables 400mbps all intra-frame 4K recording at 10bit, and there's also a way to shoot 6K video as well. Well worth the money, especially if you already have a micro 4/3 lens collection.
