See what you mean - now if Leica would do a wide to medium tele zoom......say 14-140 ;-)

I am wondering to hold back on the GH3 and wait for this if the stills quality is going to be a massive improvement.

Marbury, The GH3 has been out for a while - everything is already known about it. (or do you mean you're considering the GH4?)
However, before you buy anything:
a) make sure your version of Lightroom will open the raw stills
b) you know that your NLE software will open and deal with the footage
c) and that your computer is up to the job of rendering out the footage/codec you require.
In other words - I would recommend working backwards and actually buying the camera after everything to do with the camera is in place.

I bought a decent PC this time last year. I have Lightroom 4. What else could be wrong ? I have decided to go for the GH3 but obviously there is talk that the still side has room for improvement. If the GH4 is as good on stills as video then it might be worth investing in one. Perhaps.

I'm on Lightroom 5.3
You need to check - if the camera came out after LR V.4 and if Panasonic changed the RAW - as most manufacturers do.
Only trying to make sure you have no surprises and further unexpected expenses after the purchase.
Adobe won't be upgrading the specs (on V.4) to accept the raw files of subsequent cameras - need V.5 for that.

Michael, is your love going to get a younger sibling? - GH4

haha...I think that adoption is going to cost too much for my budget Videostock. I'll have to wait until the GH5 comes out and buy a leftover GH4. I could never justify trading in the GH2 and buying the GH3, but this GH4 looks really nice.

I'm sure we've all read just about everything on this camera; but I was still hazy about exactly what you need to get 4:2:2 out of it.
