If the X-H1's IBIS works with manual lenses via adapters, and has a headphone jack, then it will surely be my first choice for a workhorse.
XF50-140mm f2.8 is currently a peerless Canon/Sony killer!

Recording time limit may be issue. Fuji so far not known to have unlimited record time unlike Panasonic GH series. Otherwise, with physical dials and Fuji colour science, its a no brainer.

Not to mention a working hybrid (phase+contrast) AF.
 

Rodney, your prediction come true. Now, what would you predict the rest will do? lol.

There is a photokina this September so there may be some exciting products but over the next month or so, Canon will likely start 4K implementation in their low-end bodies. I hope to see at least one fast M prime (fingers crossed for 35mm 1.4mm)
Expect these to have no mic inputs or mono inputs.
I'm hoping to see a G3X mark II with DPAF this year. That will be on my shopping list.
IF an XC20 comes along with a sexy MIS style shoe, I will be partial.
Will not hold my breath for Canon to offer a video-oriented mirrorless. At least not for another 4 years.

The most anticipated camera for videogs this year must be the sucessor to the A7S mark II . But I'm not optimistic about the price tag. There are rumors that Sony will bump their new low-light king into the A9S range.
Expect touch focus but not touch menu.
After killing an A7s and a few sony lenses, I'm a little concerned about Sony's product lifespan and their service support.
Still an A9S + 24-105mm f4 will be a peerless combo bar none in 2018.

Panasonic definitely will NOT launch a GH6 this year and likley not before 2020. They have some fundamental re-engineering to do for their Depth-to De-focus system. The challenge is to reconcile the difference between AF for video and stills. I see their new "s" line strategy as a way out of this predicament. So my money is on a GH6S with hybrid or phase-detect AF in 2020.

Watch this video carefully. Ergonomically, one of the best video camera in a mirrorless form factor.
 

Achtung! Known issues
