/u/miqlas - there are decent electronic adapters that will give you VC from Tamron, OS from Sigma and IS from Canon lenses.
[Here] (https://youtu.be/0nkjJcOh8GY) is a [$285 Kipon EF-MFT AF adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/Kipon-Aadpter-EF-Thirds-Adapter/dp/B0118NMA4Q//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) stabilizing a Canon 70-300L.
That said, if you're going to buy a Kipon, you might as well spend a few extra dollars for a [$298 Baveyes Ultra 0.7x focal reducer/adapter] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=231987710613&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) to reduce the GH5's apparent crop to 1.4x - less than your 60D's 1.6x.
Nice review of this adapter [here] (https://youtu.be/m6qMRKVfzpc).
So, for $300 less than the price of a [$2698 A7s II body] (https://www.amazon.com/Sony-ILCE7SM2-E-mount-Camera-Full-Frame/dp/B0158SRJVQ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20), you can get a [$1997.99 GH5 body (w a free 64 GB SD card and a couple of batteries)] (https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Mirrorless-Camera-Ritz-DC-GH5KBODY/dp/B01N3LU9O2//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20), a [$298 Kipon Baveyes Ultra 0.7x AF] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=231987710613&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) and a [$97.99 copy of V-LOG] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fipcvl.html) and get 4K/60p, internal 10-bit 4:2:2, 1080/180p slow motion, a fully articulated LCD and images that look like this:
Commercial/Documentary
Narrative
Wedding
Sport/Slow Motion
Fashion
This is a much better video camera - and a much better investment in the future - than the A7r II.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your upgrade!
A full frame sensor does not guarantee good image quality, so the comparison is really based on how different cameras process the video.
The GH4's 4K recording uses 1:1 sample from the sensor, so image quality is very good with low aliasing or moire. Other cameras (especially ones with higher MP sensors) may process the video differently (e.g. pixel binning, etc.) which causes more noticeable aliasing, moire, and a loss of detail.
For example, the Canon 5D MKIII's HD output is noticeably softer than the GH4's (or GH3's, or GH2's, etc.) HD output, and the GH4's 4K IQ only widens that divide even further.
At the same time, the HD and 4K output of Sony's a7S II (another camera with a full-frame sensor) is quite good in comparison to the GH4's 4K output when downsampled to HD.
The A7sII is a great camera indeed, but only 'if you got the money.'
I'll take cheap camera/good lens over expensive camera/cheap lens any day of the week. The $1700 one would be saving by getting the G85 can go towards a pair of top-of-the-shelf lenses.
As a producer who regularly hires shooters, I'd hire a kid based on his lenses rather than his camera body.
I'm not too familiar with them, but I would be concerned about the available lenses and support for this camera, since they're not that common. Also for the price there are a few issues, and I wouldn't go for this camera. First, you're only shooting 1080p, and there are a lot of great 4K options available that would destroy this camera. Adding on to that, at 1080 it only shoots 30fps. You should consider something that shoots at 1080p 120 fps, because you can get really smooth footage when you slow it down after.
Instead maybe you should give some thought to a Sony A7s II. You mentioned low light performance being a priority, and this camera happens to be one of the best at that. Learn more on that here:

If you want to keep the camcorder style, the DVX200s sound great. If you want to switch things up a bit, you could get 2 Sony A7sii and a few lenses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
a sony A7S2 or A6500 would be great shouts. depends on your budget

The price isn't too bad considering what you get. I'm currently in the market for a new DSLR and waiting for the release of the Note 8. The Sony A7S II is priced at $2700 just for the body and the Note 8 will probably be at around $800 upon release. That's $3500 I'm looking to drop on a phone/DSLR combo. I could buy the RED Hydrogen phone and still have money to spare for lenses and mods for the price of the A7S/Note combo.
its $2,998 @ Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0158SRJVQ/
What is the justification for the price increase on the second a7s II?

Christ, that's an expensive camera. The quality didn't blow me away, either. Well, the high framerate stuff was really cool. Colors and clarity, less so. Guess it takes some tweaking to get the most out of.
Love the new mic, though. That was great.
That's the Sony ALPHA a7sII
This is what I want for $800
I'm confused as can be about all these little variants on the Sony names myself.
EDIT: Wait, are these the same thing? WTF, now I am royally confused.
EDIT: Yeah. I'm fucking retarded. It's the A7rii is what I'm thinking.
