Max Yuryev tested the new Panasonic 12-60mm f/2.8-4 lens and also explains why he is not buying it.

The German folks over at Photozone tested the Olympus 12-100mm lens:

There are many ways to judge the results of the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO. If you want to phrase it in a negative way, you may call it a jack of all trades and a master of none. However, that’s unfair really. You could also argue that it doesn’t show any true weakness and that’s quite something considering the range. More so than the charts, the provided sample images may show that you can use this lens at pretty much all relevant settings with very good results at the wide end and still good results at the extreme long end. Lateral CAs are no issue. Vignetting and distortions are handled nicely (albeit somewhat lossy) via image auto-correction. And the quality of the bokeh is pretty decent for a zoom lens.

The lens gets Highly Recommended!

Kai writes about the camera:

Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, a miniaturized Super 16mm, professional digital film camera that is designed to be operated remotely and capture action anywhere! A revolutionary built in expansion port has PWM and S.Bus inputs so you can use a model airplane remote control to operate the camera wirelessly. Imagine adjusting focus, iris and zoom wirelessly! The Micro Cinema Camera is a true digital film camera that features built in RAW and ProRes recording, 13 stops of dynamic range, and an MFT lens mount. You get a true digital film camera that can go where no other digital film camera can!

The BMCC is available for $995 at Bhphoto.

Dpreview tested the Panasonic GX850/GX800 and concluded:

The GX850 is technically capable of good stills and video quality. It also offers fast, accurate AF and a great touch capability. Moreover, it is also incredibly simple to operate, especially for a novice shooter (though the Canon M10 may be even simpler to pick up and shoot).
So if small size, simple operation and the inclusion of a selfie screen are important to you, the GX850 is not a bad option. But for a bit more cash you can score a more usable camera (with dual control dials) in one of its competitors or even in its own older sibling, the GX85. You just won’t get the selfie screen in the latter.

Panasonic GX850 is in Stock at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama and Panasonic store.

Tony & Chelsea Northrup posted their full Panasonic GH5 review.

And today 43rumors Alex shared a possible bug on the new GH5 1.1 firmware:

Just upgrade GH5 to the latest 1.1 firmware and tested it in the field. The camera occasionally mis-report “card full” on switching on. During the 5-day shooting in Thailand, I experienced twice. Generally speaking, switching off the camera and on again should fix the problem. I was using SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-I U3 128GB card.

Hope Panasonic will read this and fix it soon.
