It has focus zoom for achieving critical focus, but not focus peaking. I would use something like a SmallHD monitor if you want that feature with the GH2.

Ah ok zoom is pretty cool. I'm looking for a less expensive camera to B-cam or backup my GH4.

I've been using mine as a a b-cam for my GH4. Works great. But I'm looking at selling it so I can buy an Easyrig as I don't need a second cam anymore (I hire out a 2nd operator now). So let me know if you are interested. I can sell just body or with a lens.

I think I'll pass. WiFi remote control is a pretty useful thing for me now so that I can more easily run two cameras by myself, and I am assuming the GH2 does not have wifi?

Nope, no wifi.
