Imaging Resource posted the full GH5 review:

The Panasonic GH5 is a wonderful successor to an already great hybrid still & video camera, and the new features and performance make it far more valuable than its $2000 price tag. We have no doubt that this will become one of the most popular video cameras for independent filmmakers and videographers thanks to its stellar video quality, extended list of video features and options, long battery life and excellent durability.

Lenstip tested the Leica 12mm lens:

It’s worth emphasizing the fact that full frame 1.4/24 lenses are not only more difficult to design but also, unlike the Panasonic, their optics is responsible for distortion correction without any help from camera’s software. In that light even if the results of the Panasonic were outstanding in every category it still should be criticized for its exorbitant price.

Sigma patented a 12mm f/1.4 MFT lens design

Sigma patented a new 12mm f/1.4 lens design for the Micro Four Thirds system. As usual we don’t know if such a lens will ever be produced for real. Also note that this design is very different from the recent Panasonic-Leica 12mm f/1.4 lens.

So I wonder what’s in Sigma’s mind right now…will they really make it?
