Seeking clarification of potential issues reagarding the VZW G4.

I have read several threads and reviews on several different sites concerning the G4, and my head is spinning. I am currently on a g3, and looking to do an upgrade through best buy to re up my contract to avoid the unlimited data price increase. My choices are between an s6 variant and the G4. That's all background...so here we go...

I have read about touchscreen issues here on XDA. On other sites I have read about some sort of hardware issues with G4's mAde before September, but also saying that those are now resolved. Are these the same issue? Are these issues resolved? If it is not, how bad is this touch screen issue? I see lots of positive reviews, but then On a few trusted sites like XDA I see what looks like horror stories, but some of these stories are in posts that weeks and months old, so I am having trouble getting the picture of the current state of affairs. I also see something about a eifi issue too.

Camera. I read it is the best camera out there on some sites, but others saying that the phone takes a few seconds from "click to pic" so that you miss the shot you want. That is the issue I have on the g3, and don't want to repeat it. Can anyone share their experiences please?

Is there anything I am missing here?

Thanks in advance to all responders.
