Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 Review
Equivalent to twice the resolution of full HD video, 4K video (3840×2160 pixels) is mightily impressive when it's viewed up against full HD video (1920×1080 pixels) and if you're yet to see the true benefit of 4K it's well worth walking into your local television store to see for yourself the...
Pros:
- + 4K video and 4K Photo modes
- + Electronic shutter enables silent operation
- + Twin control dials for independent aperture and shutter speed control
- + Superb 2,36-million-dot electronic viewfinder
Cons:
- Operational speed in 4K Photo modes needs to be faster
- Top plate
- dials and buttons have a plasticky feel
- Low resolution previews via EVF in 4K burst photo mode

Panasonic Lumix G7
The Panasonic Lumix G7 takes the classic G-series mid-range accessibility and bolts-on some of the higher-grade video skills of the Panasonic GH4 . That camera brought 4K video shooting to thousands, this one lowers the entry price a bit.
Pros:
- Plenty of control
- 4K video
- Great EVF
Cons:
- Plastic build
- APS-C rivals offer better dynamic range

I started this review by stating that I believe the G7 is trying to be a non-specific ILC, rather than draw attention to its mirrorless nature. There are aspects to the user experience, such as the seamless viewfinder/ rear LCD operation (in combination with the use of rear screen to select AF...
Pros:
- Solid image quality in both Raw and JPEG
- 4K (UHD) video
- Built-in Wi-Fi with comprehensive set of features
- 4K Photo mode with clever pre-burst option for grabbing stills from video
- In-camera Raw conversion for post-shot re-processing
- Super-fast focus for single AF acquisitions
- Impressive...
Cons:
- Mechanical shutter causes some softness at around 1/100th exposures
- Number of external controls make the camera seem more complex than it is
- Dated Q.Menu is over-complex
- Touchscreen control tabs leave the screen a bit cluttered (though they can be disabled
- Wi-Fi can be overwhelming and...

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 extracting the exact frame you want afterwards.

Replacing the Panasonic G6, the G7 sits beneath the Panasonic GH4 in the company's line-up of compact system cameras. It's the smaller of the two SLR-like models, and is aimed at enthusiast photographers. It sits alongside the rectangular Panasonic GX7, and above the GF7, GM1 and GM5.
Pros:
- OLED viewfinder
- Vari-angle touch-screen
- Integration of 4K Photo shooting
Cons:
- Two-year-old sensor
- Lightweight build
- Micro Four Thirds type sensor is smaller than APS-C

Panasonic Lumix G7
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...
Pros:
- For the money
- the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 delivers great photo and video
- excellent performance and a broad feature set
Cons:
- It's another in a long line of Panasonic cameras with proprietary USB connectors and some people might find it too complicated

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 ($799.99 with 14-42mm lens) is a premium camera wrapped in a plastic body and bundled with a starter zoom lens. If you can get past the plasticky feel, you'll find that the 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor does a fine job capturing images, and an even better one when...
Pros:
- 4K video
- Built-in EVF
- Vari-angle touch LCD
- Dual control dials
- Speedy performance
