Hi everybody.

still thinking about new camera. Gh4 is one of them. I have a question about this nice camera. Did you guys find out any major issues with it like freezing, loose lcd or loose hot shoe mount, which samoe people reported about gh3.
 
First GH4 units had the audio buzzing issue. Verify with your retailer that they have the new models.
While recording in mixed 4K and 96FPS, the camera sometimes locks up. It became rarer after the latest firmware but it still happens.
 
The fragile HDMI port is almost unacceptable. Be sure to use a cage with an HDMI Lock to keep it from failing on the camera.
 
+ 1. HDMI port is the Achilles heel. And not only the "falling out" part - it's quite easy to destroy if not protected good enough.
 
Thank you guys for responde. I am not using external monitors or anything that use hdmi port during shooting. But i will keep it in my imnd. Thank you. More important for me was unexpected freezenig, hot shoe loosing etc. thank you. Going to order it today. It is $200 price drop.
 
Build-wise, the EVF eyecup on mine has developed a tendency to jump off the camera at its first opportunity. Apparently my eyebrows smell. It's a tricky bit to tape into place, but I've done so for a little extra security.
