LUMIX is part of the L Mount system. This includes Sigma, Leica, DJI (they don’t produce lenses), and Leitz Wetzlar which is considered first party since they use the same lens protocol. Outside of that there are third party lenses on the L Mount that include Venus Laowa, Nisi, 7artisans, TTartisans, Meike, Meyer-Optik Gorlitz, and Kipon. So, yea you have options. Sigma also produces the MC-21 which allows auto focus of Canon EF lenses.

I believe the EVA-1 is not part of the Lumix division. I agree with you though. I hope that the Canon C70 and Sony FX 3 show that making a more cinema type body is profitable. Films like"The Creator " were filmed on the FX 3. I have seen the S1H on feature film sets where they needed something with high ISO. It'd be cool if Panny made an S1 R2 for high end photography, then just go all in with the S1H2. Cinema body, kitchen sink of features. I'd be down for that.

If a camera brand defines your vision, we might have a problem. I think filmmaking is a journey, not a destination. I think people's fixation with the end results might be hurting they personal creative growth. I think that is what has always made Sony cameras so successful. For me it's about having a camera that is miles above my capability. One that lets me grow and learn. When I want "perfect" everything, I just use my phone.

For sure! That is why I made the points of buying a camera to grow into, and buying the right camera for the right job.

Honestly with all the feature, value, the improvements on autofocus just says that Lumix will be continue putting more and more improvements. Canon kinda doesn’t want to give everything to their “lower end cameras” to protect their cinema line. Now if all you care about is photos Canon is a great camera. But if you do care about video lumix autofocus is amazing and it is the worst now that it will ever be again. It just keeps getting better and better. They just released a firmware update with ever more improvements so I would say make the switch for sure👍🏻

This is really where Panasonic have been hurt pretty badly (and unfairly) by the dynamics of the market. Their cameras are aimed at semi-professional or prosumer filmmakers. Filmmakers care about absolute image quality, but don't care about autofocus, because filmmakers don't use autofocus, period. However a weird thing has developed over the years, where the market's attitude to cameras in the semi-professional and prosumer field are almost entirely driven by the opinion of popular KZbin content creators, specifically ones whose primary or sole focus is on reviewing gear, not actually making content. Their only use case for gear is filming themselves reviewing other gear, and if you're on your own, filming yourself, the one thing you really really need is... reliable autofocus. So suddenly a feature that the target market of these cameras doesn't even use becomes the litmus test for whether it's a good product or not.
