The G7 was on sale from Panasonic including the 14-42 and 45-150 kit lenses. The price looked right and I figured hey give some M4/3rds love to Panasonic since have been a big convert to Olympus since going M4/3rds in 2016.

After having this camera for over a year, I thought i would put together a review. First, let's just say that with this camera (and the internet) i have been able to go from poor photographs to better than average!

I have only had the camera for a week but have been using it daily to get to grips with all it's features. Only used my mobile camera previously (S7edge) and the difference in the quality of the photos is visible, from Macro images to action shots of my dogs.

This camera would be a great start up camera for beginners. It's very easy to use and has great video quality with the kit lens. The kit lens is very great and can get multiple projects done at a high rate. It's a very light camera also. This is a price you will not beat anywhere else.

The camera worked great for the first little while. However, after a few months the camera has started to display some serious issues: sometimes when recording, the screen will be overlaid with flashing pink static lines (an example has been attached); after pressing the button to stop a recording,...

I've been in desperate need for a decent camera to practice filmmaking on, and I was pretty nervous about which one to pick initially, but I can honestly say I'm very glad I chose this camera. For it's price, this camera is very sturdy, and takes incredible pictures/ video.

Panasonic's latest take on the mirrorless camera not only show it has the guts to be a great camera, but a very creative and forward-thinking one, too.

Comfortable to hold; Loads of function buttons; 4K burst and pre-burst modes are literal game changers and perfect for sports or high-speed photography; Decent shots are possible from this camera; though we'd change that kit lens first; Support for wireless included

Eye-sensor can sometimes be a little fiddly; switching off the rear LCD when your eye isn't behind the viewfinder; No charging from the camera itself; and an external charger is still needed

The camera was advertised as new but, from the condition of the packing materials and the fact that it was missing a charger, I doubt very much that was not true! We don't yet know if the camera works, because it is not yet charged. We'll see!

I love this camera for shooting videos and a for photoshoots. I have recommended this to multiple people and they all chose this camera in the end.

Compact; Inexpensive

Excellent!!! This camera is so light, has dual dials, gives lots of customization, lots of control, has a bunch of features and the 12-60 lens is fantastic. A very great buy for both stills and video.
