I'm getting confused: I thought the FZ2000 had 10-bit HDMI out?
Bhphoto video says it records 8bit 4:2:0 internally.
BUT, he says that it only records 4:2:0 internally. BOO!!
I think it was some misunderstanding, and it is HDMI that is 422 8bit, as with FZ2000.
OK, so in the above video, the Panasonic rep says you CAN use external monitors/recorders AND record/monitor internally at the same time. HOORAY!!
BUT, he says that it only records 4:2:0 internally. BOO!!
B&H photo first look
Ominously little mention of the HDMI out signal for external monitors and recorders, as far as I can see
In the Jacob James article it says it has it.
Looks great! so, does it record 4K 4:2:2 internally? no mention for that.

Darn! If it was heavier by 21 grams it could have had a soul! :-)
It is heavier by 95 grams (505 grams including battery and SD) compare to G7, more durable body.
All previous B&H leaks were correct.
The leaked press release from B&H says that: "In addition to the versatile still shooting modes, the G85 also supports recording UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) video with either 30p or 24p frames rates at 100 Mbps. Full HD 1080p/60 is also supported at 28 Mbps in the MP4 format, along with HD recording and Full HD in AVCHD". So, 1080p has also the same bitrate as G7 before. I don't know if this info leak is correct.
My bet is 422 1080p downsampled from 420 4K.
Can be my next camera. Don't need all this 422 modes. Lack of crop is important.
@readbook - why can't 100mbs handle 422?
@Vitaliy_Kiselev I don't pretend to know; I'm just speculating. It just doesn't mention it in any description I've read. I've only shot 30p once in the past 5 years, so for me personally, based on what I've read, it wouldn't be a helpful device. I hope I'm wrong in my speculation, obviously. It wouldn't make sense for Panasonic to take that off their specs, especially for what's supposed to be an upgrade.
Doubtful, as the G7 doesn't have the electronic contacts for the grip to interface with the camera.
Is it possible that the DMW-BGG1 is going to be compatabile with the G7?
100 mb can't handle 422. May be source told about 422 via HDMI? Good cam, but why pana didn't add slowmo (96)? I thing gh5 will have next step (120 or more), so there is no contention between g80 and gh5
Will see what extra GH5 has to offer.
422 10bit, but also with HDR mode support, so storing all 12 bits for highlights?
This camera sounds like good enough already. Will see what extra GH5 has to offer.
