    4K vs HDR. It’s not going to be one or another, it’ll be both.

    HLG is the same the GH5 will receive via firmware in mid-2017.

    Where is this drive for HDR coming from?

    The problem is that everyone wants a cinematic look. The celluloid look.

    HDR is a modern video look. It is not cinematic. Directors of Photography who want to deliver a cinematic look are going to avoid HDR like the plague.

      I bed to differ. Were you at IBC? Did you see ARRI’s stand there? They were massively bigging up HDR and their demo reel looked gorgeous, and still totally “cinematic”…. ugh, that term -_-

        I haven’t seen Arri’s HDR demo. I’ll try to check it out.

    “We’ve heard that the FS5’s new HLG mode will work with Atomos recorders”
    and presumably the Odyssey 7Q+..? (Don’t see why not)

    Im picking up my GH5 in a week or so. Im considering selling my GH4 and replacing with with a standard camcorder to give me more flexibility over all for work I do. I hoped that Panasonic would deliver HLG in a standard camcorder at the PXW-Z150 price point, I guess I’ll have to wait and see, for now no hurry,

      I attended an HDR event in Burbank last year with some very seasoned professionals in Television and film and I have to disagree. They are well aware of the challenge of working with HDR but they like what they see very much.
