I'm a bit obsessed by videography gear lately (with special emphasis on low light photography :) ), specifically mirrorless photo/video cameras.
My wishlist (well some of it):
Sony A7S, one of the best low light cameras you can find.
Mikaton Speedmaster 50mm f.095 lens (they also have a 35mm lens)
Here is a video shot with Mikaton f0.95 on a sony A7S body!

When you shoot low light with a fast lens, you can get a great bokeh, shoot at lower iso hence obtain better colors and dynamic range.
The Panasonic GH4 is of course on my wishlist :)
And another item is the
Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 .
Here is a video shot with the GH4 and a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 (nice to watch if you're into bikes as well):

The Sony A7S is a full-frame sensor. The GH4 is a 4/3 sensor. You can mount full frame lenses on it using an adapter. If you use a regular adapter you just get a cropped image (50mm becomes 100mm, etc) or you can actually use a focal reducer like these:

Which have the side effect of concentrating and increasing the light captured by your sensor, that means you can gain like 1 f-stop. If you mount the Mikaton on the GH4 using a focal length reducer, you actually get a f0.75 lens! If you mount a 1.8 lens, it becomes will have the light capturing capabilities of a f1.3.
Which makes it very interesting for mounting all kind of manual lenses.
This is a good candidate (also on my wishlist):

The older GH3 is also a great camera.
As for me I have an Olympus E-PM2 with a Panasonic 20mm f1.7.
Here's one:
But mine is red, and the lens is in metallic silver, and it's a newer version of the lens.
If I was buying a camera now, I would consider the Sony DSC-RX100 III (
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sony-cybershot-dsc-rx100-m3). Or a Nikon DSLR, you can't go wrong with a DSLR. Or something like what I have now, but I'd rather buy a Panasonic instead of Olympus. Olympus MFT cameras are a bit rudimentary for taking movies, and quirky.
I'm also interested in HDR for movies. I know it should be possible to shoot at double framerates with alternating exposure and get a higher dynamic range. Red cameras can do that, but Red is out of my league, with each camera costing like $ 30K. I think that Canon cameras can do that through Magic Lantern as well but I don't know how well it works.
There are also the blackmagic cameras.
This is an exciting time for photo/video. With micro 4/3 mounts, if you can live with manual focus and pay extra for adapters, you can mount almost any lens from any system on your camera, and the sensors and software are getting better. TVs and viewing devices have a hard time catching up.
