If you're interested in video I would go with Panasonic.

I chose the E-M1 for it's stabilized 1080p, handling, and ability to make my 15mm f1.7 look like it's on a gimbal.

My last hybrid camera was the A7S II, and I found that 4k itself was less important than a rock solid 1080p image.

You might consider the G80 instead, if you want stabilized 4k with good handling.  Regardless of which Olympus or Panasonic body that you chose, AF in video modes is not great.  I am just finding this out and feel obligated to share.
