Conclusions The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 is one of the better mirrorless cameras you can buy. Even though it lacks the stellar build quality of the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II, its image quality is just a step behind APS-C models at high ISOs, and the Micro Four Thirds lens system is extensive.

4K video; Built-in EVF; Vari-angle touch LCD; Dual control dials; Speedy performance; 4K Photo and Post Focus modes; Built-in flash

Tracking focus slows burst rate; Not available as a body only; Plastic build

The Panasonic Lumix G7 is built around a 16 megapixels Four-Thirds CMOS sensor paired with a fast and powerful processor which lets it record 4K Ultra-HD video at 30 FPS or 1080p HD at 60 FPS.

Very low image noise; Superb detail retention; Nice image colors after tweaking; Instant shutter-lag with short blackout; Speedy autofocus; Extremely sensitive AF; Fast shot-to-shot speed; Large and sharp EVF; Calibratable LCD; Highly customizable

Frequent overexposure; Limited dynamic-range; Yellow color-cast in low light; Exposure-Priority only in Manual mode; Wrong Live-Histogram; Flex in LCD hinge; Pause after filming; Very slow to power-off

No other camera maker has been as aggressive in adopting 4K technology as Panasonic. While U.S. consumers slowly upgrade their televisions and TV broadcasters gradually add 4K programming, Panasonic is hurriedly packing 4K into nearly every advanced camera rolling out of its factories.

Great still and video quality; solid handling; free-angle display; great feature set; excellent value

No USB 3.0; menu system occasionally confusing; slow eye sensor

I've had this camera for 30 days now, and I cant put it down. I am having an amazing time shooting Night Photography. It's also the perfect size for street photos as well. Very happy with my purchase.

The G7 aims to change the way we shoot by pulling 8MP stills from its 4K videos. Camera brands have been hard at work, inventing new ways to simplify the photo-taking process. Panasonic's latest 4K technology pushes the idea that you'll never miss a moment by shooting a 4K video burst at 30fps and...

Ideal camera for holidays with its medium size and weight. Very versatile including the new 4K technology.

Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls; Takes 4k Images

No Compass

The camera market has self-saturated. There's so much good kit out there, capable of producing such high quality images, that product updates tend to focus on new features rather than significant core changes to sell themselves.

Affordable; fully featured screen and viewfinder; impressive 4K capture; decent image quality (4K Photo has its uses too); pinpoint autofocus mode; extensive and customisable controls; silent electronic shutter option

Boxy and plasticky build; larger than G6 predecessor; occasional autofocus slip-ups; single SD card (slot in battery compartment); no 4K Cinema mode; 4K Photo pre-burst focus issues; battery life could be better

A versatile, user-friendly little lens-swapper that'd make the ideal first system camera

An affordable way to record 4K; Fast autofocus; Strong low light performance

Plasticky body; 4K doesn't always look wonderful

The Lumix G7 is a very capable mid-range camera that should be considered by anyone wanting a step-up from budget models, whether DSLR or mirrorless. It has well thought-out controls, a large and detailed electronic viewfinder and the flexibility of a fully-articulated touch-screen.

Good image quality and compact but decent kit zoom; Large; detailed viewfinder and fully-articulated touchscreen; Fast AF that works in low light; and 6-8fps burst shooting; 4k video with chance to extract 8MP stills at 30fps; Wifi; timelapse; 7-frame AEB; silent shooting up to 1/16000; Access to...

Continuous AF good but not best in class, Lacks built-in stabilization of Olympus bodies, No USB in-body charging of battery, Maximum Bulb length of 2 minutes; Limits long exposure work

I liked the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 a lot more than I expected. The G7 brings the company's midrange line of enthusiast and family-oriented interchangeable-lens models up to date with features like 4K/UHD (ultra high definition) video and the company's most recent autofocus and image-processing...

For the money; the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 delivers great photo and video; excellent performance and a broad feature set

It's another in a long line of Panasonic cameras with proprietary USB connectors and some people might find it too complicated
