close to perfect - for me
1

I love the handling, camera feels perfect in my hands, not to light, not to heavy,

great performance for picture-series, with one accu i could make more then a 1000 pictures

AF is mostly fast, even with f:5,6 lenses and mostly precise - I rate it better then Olympus, much better then Sony, Samsung, Fujifilm, Canon, Leica - i tried them under same conditions.

I worked in Florida, India, Spain last year and fit all my traveling with the GH4, there was no bad situation, with the small lenses I could get great pictures, silently and really fast.

only bad thing is - at 1600 ISO pictures are ok, but not really good anymore

I wait for a better sensor at high ISO, Panasonic should try the Sony Alpha 7S way - a sensor with 10-12 MP, which could be really fast and give clean pictures at 6400 ISO.
