      Also the dynamic range should be 20+ stops.

      All this should be in uncompressed lossless raw format.

              It is ridicilous the 8K of samsung has much lower bitrates than the 4K@60 of other phones.

              Nobody expects same of pro videocameras, but should be at least 180.

                Also phones does not need over 160mbps anyway, no matter the res/framerate. With 4:2:0 of course. Still, if you shoot RAW video on phone like 11 Ultra using motioncam app, the sensor size itself and if used dark kit cheap lens on m4/3's at wide end, the gap in quality is not that huge.
                But yes, GH6 seems amazing and squeezes everything from m4/3, image quality wise. Its a top camera for this system, and I believe they won't develop any other in coming few years. Wait for FF focused next, like S2h.

                          Does anyone know if this camera comes with a sensor shield/cover for lens change like the R5 and A7IV? That exposed sensor is a dust magnet and It is a total nightmare to change lens in outdoors.

                                But this move has its downsides.
                                Contrast Detection is inferior, but still Panasonic think AI is gonna put on pair with the AF of Sony.

                                  One of the best video camera with one of the worst Auto focus. Just get a PDAF system and become the worlds best.

                                    The Gh6 offers handheld multi frame noise reduction super resolution raw files. That's nice. I hope that Panasonic releases a successor of the Zs60 with this feature.
