To add, I can't stress the importance of a variable ND filter if you are shooting in daylight – it's the only way to maintain the film-like 50 shutter speed and still get a shallow depth of field which is the key to getting these cameras to look cinematic. If you're outside, and you don't have an ND, you'll have to either knock down your f-stop of increase your shutter speed, and both of these will make your video look like video...
This was shot with a very simple setup, outside – a Lumix GH2, with a Canon 28mm lens, 50 shutter, lens wide open and the Fader ND filter. Maybe not professional-level cinematography – just a vacation video after all – but it feels like film at least to me:
