What's a lighter substitute for my Panasonic GH4?

GX8

The GX8 is about 100g lighter and a lot less bulky than your GH4.  It has a more recent design 20MP sensor, mic plug socket, and has excellent video capabilities.

I found the GH series just a bit too big and bulky for my taste, but the GX8, while not a small M43, is considerably easier to handle when shooting casually or for walk-around use.  It also has a fabulous viewfinder.

Unfortunately, when you go much smaller in M43, you will lose features that you consider essential in your work, so the GX8 would probably be the smallest body that would have all that you need.
