Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic G7 is significantly lighter (150g ) than the Panasonic GH4 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Panasonic G7 and Panasonic GH4 have the same Micro Four Thirds lens mount and Four Thirds sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the GH4, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the G7.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic G7 and Panasonic GH4's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
