GH4 Faulty GH4?

So I just got my GH4 and I must say I'm a bit underwhelmed.

I own several camera's (GH1, AF101, RED ONE) and I'm thinking this GH4 must be faulty.
The noise in the image is too much. Also when I do a straight comparison between the GH1 and the GH4
I find the GH1 winning in low light. Less noise, more light. The AF101 just kills the GH4 in low light.

Could some of you GH4 owners please check my footage and compare it to yours in terms of noise/low light?

The settings for the shots are named in the file name. The best comparison is the shots of the GH4 and GH1 in similar conditions and settings:
f5.8 - shutter 1/50 - iso 800

All shots were made with the Lumix 14-140 f4 lens.

You can download the footage and some stills here: http://we.tl/aecajBd83g

Would greatly appreciate any GH4 owner helping me out! Cheers!
 
As a Gh1 owner and a Gh4 owner, I can safely say the GH4 is much, much better in low light. Looking at your 800 ISO footage, I find it hard to believe that you could film the same scenarios with the GH1 and see less noise. 800 ISO on the GH1 is basically unusable. Your GH4 shot at 800 ISO looks fine to me.
What picture profile are you using on this? What are your settings in terms of contrast, sharpness, noise reduction, shadows/highlights, iDynamic, etc.?
 
I put the picture style on Cinelike D, left the rest untouched with these shots. Did use Philip Bloom's settings before but that got me horrible
results.. incomparable to his.

If you check the ISO 200 shots.. surely the GH4 can't have that much noise in those? Check the f14 ISO 200 still when the person walks
through my shot, there's a lot of grain in that..
