Pros
- The GH4 is one of the best budget options for video, get a mono pod or tripod and you have an amazing place to start.
- I have a GH4, GH5 and an S5iiX - no complaints about the build quality on any of them. Good solid, yet lightweight bodies that seem to stand the test of time (my GH4 is over 10 years old.)
- GH4, i've see them for less than 400.
- I have two gh4’s. I still use them occasionally. They’re true workhorses, long battery life and pretty good image.
- Specifically the GH4, with the 1080p@60p@200mbps it's just the right kind of file for the type of news stuff I shoot. And the colour can be well dialed in, in-camera.
Cons
- The only issue I've had is that the gh5 handle and card slot cover rubber peeled, and it looked tatty.... But that camera was my absolute workhorse for probably 6-7 years... The back screen on the gh3 and gh4 broke. Came back to life aft...

The back screen on the gh3 and gh4 broke. Came back to life after hair drying the screen on hot for a few mins, but have sadly died since.

Damn I've used the gh4 back when I studied for weddings and it was a tank of a camera. Solid button, clear menu's, all-day on one battery when turning it off between shots and a great looking image.
I started shooting on a GH4. Play around with it, if you can dial in the settings it'll do wonders for you.
My gh4 is still kicking
