After reading about this camera I still don't know for sure if the stabilisation works on video mode. If I use this camera with a Panasonic Leica 25 1.4 will I get any kind of stabilisation on the lens? Anything close to the Oly's OMD series? If so, I'll probably save up and go for this one as it has nice upgrades from the previous and my current GX7 model.
While in Halfiax working with the Panasonic Canada team, I have been using the GX8 pre-production model to shoot with. I went out last night with it and the 15mm f1.7 sumilux and was really impressed with how it felt, looked, and performed. The 15mm isn't a stabilized lens, so the body stabilization was a very welcomed addition (coming from a gh4) I have attached some photos below to show some different scenarios.
Lens Firmware-up is comming out for GX8 Dual I.S. today.

The GX8 follows in the steps of other high-end G-series cameras and is designed for serious enthusiasts.
Just got a GX8, no auto iso in manual video mode, still! also possible flickr reduction bug, set it in usual PASM modes under video tab then enter dedicated video mode and it switches it off and greys it out.
@adventsam, pre-production model or one with 1.0 firmware?
