I would like them to add min. ISO (also for aperture priority mode), but I disagree with your conclusion that the gH4 is excellent up to ISO 12800. Personally I would shoot at 1/60 and ISO 1600 in most circumstances over 1/120 at ISO 3200. In fact, in most cases I would set the minimum shutter speed *below* what the camera chooses automatically -- especially with OIS lenses.

If they add a minimum shutter speed and set the default value to 1/60 then it will operate precisely as it does today. The added benefit would be that you could set it faster or slower than that depending on how much priority you put on shutter speed vs. ISO. You could get your 1/30 or 1/15 at a lower ISO if you wanted.

Really this is a no brainer. This setting would hurt no one. It would help some of us based on the posts so far and for everyone else they wouldn't even know it was there.

Why wouldn't you add something that had no down side?
