This sounds promising to me.

GH2 Movie mode
"The newly integrated motion detection circuit elevates the accuracy of motion detection to suppress the noise generated in moving parts more effectively."
Here are a couple of other things that have probably been confirmed before but I figured it couldn't hurt to post them. Notice that live view is not available for 5 FPS shooting and that if you use RAW images it is reduced to 4.5 FPS. Also the 40 FPS mode is limited to 40 images max.
*1 In the high speed burst shooting at 40 fps, the picture size is max. 4-megapixel (4:3), 3.8-megapixel (3:2), 2-megapixel (16:9) or 3-megapixel (1:1).
*2 When quality is set to RAW+Fine, RAW+Standard or RAW, burst speed is 4.5 fps.
*3 Images can be taken until the capacity of the card becomes full. However the burst speed will become slower halfway. The exact timing of this depends on the aspect ratio, the picture size, the setting for the quality and the type of card used.
This might be why we really have not seen any banding in high ISO movie modes. It won't help RAW shooting though.
Advanced Noise Reduction
By separating chromatic noise from luminance noise even more accurately by applying the optimal noise reduction to each, you can capture clear and beautiful images even when shooting at high ISO sensitivity levels. By preventing the color mixture which tends to occur around the edges, any chromatic noise, not only the in gradation part but also in the edge part, are described clearly. The engine also provides selective noise reduction to the outline part to let it have more naturally-balanced curve without deterioration of the resolution.
In addition, the spot-type noise which can be often seen in the dark area of the image taken in low light situation or color bleeding on high luminance area generated by the chromatic aberration.
From the examples I have seen this might end up being a very effective feature.
The Intelligent Resolution technology is another feature of the Venus Engine FHD and precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way for it. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in both photo and MOVIE recording.
Linking smoothly with the Live MOS sensor, the Venus Engine FHD processes the large amount of signals at high speed, making it possible to record high resolution consecutive shots and full-HD movie recording.
If only they had left the sensor output at 25 FPS for PAL countries we would not have had any complaining about not having a 25p mode.
"Now the DMC-GH2 can record high-resolution full-HD 1,920 x 1,080 movies in astonishing smooth 60i (NTSC) / 50i (PAL), doubling the sensor output from 24p / 25p to 60p / 50p."
