I have a GH3 and love it! Recently switched from Canon 5D/7D's. Been trying to get another GH3 body but they are hard to come by. I mainly shoot weddings and my season is starting off real soon. Should I just get a GH2 as B cam ...the image seems almost identical to the GH3 ....

The only thing against the GH2 that I noticed is there is an overall green cast on the image and obviously no 1080 60fps. You can help against the green cast by adjusting your colors in camera and possibly in post as well. Now the 720 vs 1080 is more noticeable if viewing on large screens, but if only viewing on phones, computers and medium size tv's you will have a very hard time seeing the difference.

One thing is a must though, get some quality glass for your GH2 and make sure you hack the camera to get the best possible image from it.

Assuming you aren't shooting at 60p, you'll probably just need a minor color correction in post. They are pretty close.
