    Whether it's worth getting a GH4/5 just for video depends upon you, really.  No doubt that the GH4/5 are among the best digital still cameras for video.  Not as good as a camcorder, though.  Unless you need that shallow depth of field look that can be obtained with the right lens on a GH4/5, there's little reason not to get a camcorder over any mirrorless or DSLR at any price.  Considering that the M43 format of the GH4/5 has a crop factor of 2x, I personally would not buy one over a similarly priced  camcorder.  To be sure that you will like the Panasonic, I would recommend that you rent it first.
