Well thank you for the honesty and all that good stuff guys. Sorry to keep peppering more questions onto you all, but I am going to be making this purchase using my Best Buy credit card (pay it off in 12 months=no interest) and looking at their website, the GH-2 is not available there anymore. A GH-3 package @ $890.00 is available, though, and I could get a Panasonic 12-35 f/2.8 for about a grand from them, roughly putting me at about the same price as if I were to buy the GH-4. Could that be a good starting point? The one thing that I am conscious of, though, is that if I do decide to go full frame in the future, would the money spent on that lens be a wasted invest?

Thank you for the input guys. As for the best I can afford, I started teaching, am renting a room from my parents, and am single (obviously) so... I have some expendable cash. But, would I be better off going with a more modest body like GH-2 as opposed to the GH-4 and building up some glass first and investing in things like a good tripod, I guess is my main question. And my question about "whether or not getting 4/3 native lenses is a bad future investment?" ties in if I should go with a GH model or not. Thanks a lot everybody.

Hey guys! Rather than make a new post, figured I'd just ask this question here. So, I'm looking to finally buy my own camera. I've worked as a grip and around video (both commercial and independent projects) for a few years now, and I want to get my own camera so that I can begin developing my own projects and skill sets. I have experience color correcting and know lighting and exposure principles. I don't own a single lens but have leaning to pull the trigger on either the GH-4 and the a7s, nonetheless; the a7s for its low-light capabilities (reducing the necessity to purchase/rent lighting equipment right away) and the gh4 in its compactness (I do a bit of traveling) and for the 4k . I have read some post, from people with similar situations like myself (no repetoire of lenses or extensive experience behind the camera) and have seen people suggest getting something cheaper like the Sony a3000 and developing a lens kit and practice using that. Can I get some opinions from you guys? If I were to get a GH-4 or a3000, would I be doing myself a disservice by buying native lenses in the event that I upgrade to a full-frame camera in the future? Thanks for the great bits of knowledge!
