Verdict
Pick the Olympus Pen E-PL7 if you prioritize in-body stabilization for handheld stills and want to save €40, or if 1080p video is sufficient. The Panasonic Lumix GH4 stays the better choice if you need 4K video or faster 12 fps burst shooting, despite the lack of stabilization and slightly higher price.
