GH4 VS. GH5: What's the decision?

Hey NS,
I'm planning to get a camera this summer, because I filmed a ton last season and put out a couple of edits. I am debating between the GH4 and the GH5, whats holding me back from buying the GH5 is the price, because I'm only in high school, but I don't like that the GH4 doesn't have IBIS. How good is the stabilization on the GH5? is it worth the price? Should I consider another camera? What are your thoughts?

GH5 is the best, the stabilization is worth it.

Go for the GH5, keep your eye on used deals for a while and jump on it when you see the right place. GH5 will last you a good while.

this is coming from someone who has shot tons on the GH5, and I started with a GH1, moved to a GH4, and now use the GH5s.
