Isn't it the glass that keeps us with a brand?

As long as the camera stays still while filming, they work OK, but as soon as one starts to move while filming or panning; that's where the problems come in.

Try the GH5 with Dual IS II. No problems with shake, and very minimal rolling shutter compared to all dSLRs and other mirrorless cameras.

You have to pan slow and that is good videography. I one other thought the lighter
cameras are addictive. I had the D800 with the 70 200 good stuff but it weighed a bunch.,
My a6300 (cropped sensor) with the 16 70mm zeiss can take photos and video as good
or better then my nikons. I will have to duck now. Good luck. T

Getting back to the subject of this thread, I'm guessing that those who have a serious investment in lenses are more tied to that mount than those of us who are not so bound.
In 1979 I purchased my first SLR, a Pentax K-mount; sixteen years later I had a total of three lenses, 28mm prime, 50mm prime, and 75-210mm zoom, so when I became convinced that Canon's then-new EF-mount system was superior to anything Pentax or Nikon was providing, moving to Canon was natural and easy for me. By 2015 I had a few more EF-mount lenses than the K-mount lenses I'd had in 1995, but when I became convinced that Pentax's lower-tier bodies are better than the Canon Rebels I was using, moving back to Pentax was relatively easy.
I'm guessing someone who had a collection of white Canon lenses, or Pentax "limited" primes could not switch nearly so easily, and most likely would be really resistant to changing over to one of the modern MILC systems unless s/he could make seamless use of her/his old lenses.
Note: much of the pressure behind Pentax's developing its new FF K-1 seems to have come from Pentax loyalists who were not satisfied with using their valued primes on the top-of-the-line APS-C K-3ii, because they wanted to use each prime "as it was designed to be used", in other words, they wanted 35mm to be mild wide-angle, 50mm to be normal, and 85mm to be mild telephoto, just as they were in the days of film.

Thank you Burkphoto for your great understanding of todays film making. The GH5 appears to be an amazing camera.
Getting back to the thread the lens (excuse me) started the DSLR surge started with a short film made with Canon mark II?.
Why because of economics and lens that were affordable. Video film cameras and lens were very expensive. Cooke, Zeiss
Arri etc lens were in the thousands. Yes a camcorder has advantages shooting quickly and geared for convenience
for a lot of news and video making etc.
Suddenly a Canon Mark II and a canon 50mm lens and media cards that you could use for a long time
allowed pro video to be available for everyone. In 16mm documentary you needed thousands for film and processing.
The pro camcorder like betacam etc were thousand and thousand of dollars.
Now a GH5 or a6500 can make beautiful videos that can look like any film look.
Basically feature films are being made with an Arri Alexa and maybe a Red brain. Then lens
and all sorts of monitors and wires and monitors etc etc are attached to this setup.
My sony a7s with a cage a monitor and HDMI are smaller versions of the moviemaking system.
