GH2 Add-ons on GH2

DMC-GH2 is getting significant respect from Indie makers and videographers.
What are the ‘extra features’, you think, should be added-on to GH2 to make it more accepted without much cost-hike ?

For example, the option of 24/25 FPS was not available before firmware updates. An XLR input for recording the sound is another feature, in my understanding.
 
25p was not available before the update, but 24p was from the beginning.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "more accepted" are you referring to client approval? Or just things that make being a filmmaker easier? Or just basic necessities? If the latter, then this list could be quite long but I'll speak from experience. I would buy older manual glass(I own a set of FD canon primes) and a good solid tripod, then some audio gear prefferably a separate sound recorder and XLR mics. After that a monitor would be on my list and then follow focus.

Those are just a few things but I assure you it is not all inclusive. A lot of this varies on what you're shooting.
 
I'm not expecting much more from my GH-2, though I eagerly await to see what the GH-3 brings to the table. ( hopefully a new M4/3 sensor, proper HDMI out, and a headphone jack would be nice )

full sensor vs M4/3 sensor???

I'm talking about an improved M4/3 sensor ( i.e. better sensitivity, lower noise, better color, etc... ), NOT a 35mm Full Frame Still Photo size sensor camera.

I doubt that Panasonic will ever build a 35mm FF sensor.
 
Remember that Panasonic has a full line of video products, they aren't going to make the GH3 to compete, and possibly beat, any of those. It is primarily a photo camera that can also do video.
