You're right... Leonardo won't show up for 10K...

Yes of course but that counts for most camera's. Buy a 20K RED and you would need another 20K to make it work. Buy a GH5 and you would still need lenses etc...

The GH5 actually sucks in low light. The GH5s does better but you would need a stabilizer. I agree i would not shoot a wedding with a bmpcc4k...

Talking about cinema I would not choose for the camera to make decisions for me in regards to focus.

The Bmpcc4k dual iso is perfect for low light. I shot in a city at night with only some streetlights... absolutely christal clear low noise.... It has a 13 stops of dynamic range... I would not call that low although simply comparing different DR numbers from different cameras doesn't say much.
