The codec of the GH2 is much better and you can tell that from looking at the image quality. No more mud and artifacts, the GH1 image could be really bad sometimes. Also the GH2 does great at higher ISOs, 800 still looks good, 1600 still is usable. With the GH1 anything above 400 is getting really bad. Shooting in low light with the GH2 is amazing, it will go to it's highest ISO (6400?), image looks quite grainy, but also looks still well lit. Put an normal video cam like the HMC151 next to it in same room, and the output image will be as good as black. I'm not joking. The GH2 would do great as a surveillance cam as well and I'm considering getting it customized for infra-red for shooting wildlife at night purposes. I think it will be great for that.
Also the GH2 has real push focus. On the GH1 you can only chose between manual and constant auto focus which results in the constant focus seeking. Push focus is much better, you use the auto focus only for a second and when subject is in focus you release push focus button so camera won't seek for focus anymore.
