Yeah, I think you're right and I could see myself ultimately getting both. Another thing I thought that might be a major con for the LX100 - is its FOV wide enough for my needs? Specifically, regarding the ambulance shot. I have a feeling it's not. Anyway, guess I'll be researching some more!

Thanks for your input!

Everyone has given really great advice. I'm a GH4 user myself, and so I thought I'd share what I do to achieve a more cinematic look.

I decided to get a Metabones Speedbooster (Nikon mount). There are absolutely some great M4/3 lenses out there but ultimately I felt the Speedbooster would A). give me a focal length that I was familiar with and B). allow me to invest in one set of lenses that could be used across multiple bodies. (I plan on getting a Nikon for stills eventually.)

The GH4 can record in 24p so if you're going for a cinematic look that's pretty essential, of course. Watch your shutter speed. ND filters are very important for outdoors shooting.

Turn your sharpening all the way down in-camera. In my opinion, the GH4 overdoes it and it definitely steers into the look of video when it's at its default setting.

Then there are non-GH4 specific tips as outlined above. Smooth movement helps a lot (even a simple lateral slide adds so much). I'm a fan of the Glidecam even if it's not nearly as good as a more expensive gimbal system. Lighting, of course, is key.

Here's a link to some of the stuff I've shot on my GH4.

Personally, I'm very proud of the look I've been able to get out of the camera. I absolutely love it.
