Sadly, YES! Just took the 14-140 Mk II on my new G7 out today. The lens is superb for stills, but the videos I shot are terrible. The slight "jitter" when holding steady on a single target is not too severe, but even slight panning causes severe and rapid jit-jit-jit-jit-jitter which is very distracting.

Are you sure that jit jit jit thing is not caused by 24P or 30P stutter when using too high shutter speed? P-mode uses very high video shutter speeds in daylight.

I don't know.  I've been trying different settings, the one I actually use most is 'S' mode, AWB, 1/125, AF-C, 1080P/60fps, Auto ISO.  I haven't yet seen the jit-jit disappear.  I've used the "panning" setting in the menu as was suggested.  No real difference.  Concentrated on very steady pan which seemed to reduce the effect somewhat (which leads me to think I've played some part in it), but, it is still there.

I've done a little "research" and found GH4 threads discussing the shutter rate of video and how the refresh rate of monitors affects the image when viewed which can cause the same effect, but I'm only beginning the search for answers to this situation.

In the meantime, I've just compared the 14-140 to the 14-42 and 45-150 and it is equal or sharper in almost every focal length and f-stop than either of the two.  Additionally, I've had 3 Nikon super zooms over the years (still have two) and a Tamron as well and the Panny bests them all.  Truly a top-notch lens for a very fair price.  The stabilization works great for stills, so if it won't stop the jit-jit-jit, I guess I'll somehow learn to work around it.
