Talking about focus peaking and image magnification... well, the peaking DOES work together with magnification. And the DOF is not that shallow as the GF lenses are actually slower than many FF lenses. So the DOF is really not much different from the 35 mm FF.
I do not understand why someone claims that the absence of AA filter is a drawback. For me, it is an advantage. And I do not think that this sharpness is "fake". Probably this is the quality of GF lenses that impressed me more than the sensor itself, but 1) I used top lenses on FF, including ones like Zeiss Otus 85/1.4. And 2) That's not only about resolution. Tonal grades and colors on the GFX seem to me much deeper than any Canon FF (including 5DSr) and Nikon D850.
The only problem - you really see the difference only when viewing the image without resize, in full resolution, either on screen or even better when printing photos.
And, you know, I've been an OVF advocate for many years, I even thought I would never switch to mirrorless. I still prefer OVF in many cases, but systems like the GFX and Leica SL made me change my mind. Modern EVFs are really amazing. And it is great to have the posibility, for example, to view your image alrealy in black & white in your EVF.
I've been shooting Canon for over 20 years, first film and then digital APS-C, FF. 5D, 5D Mk II, 1Dx. Fuji X system did not impress me that much, I did not appreciate the x-trans sensor. However, their latest APS-C cameras are great for video. But when I first tried the GFX... I sold almost all my Canon gear immediately, except TS-E lenses that I am planning to use on GFX. This system is a game changer for me.
