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

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

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...

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...

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...

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.

OLED viewfinder; Vari-angle touch-screen; Integration of 4K Photo shooting

Two-year-old sensor; Lightweight build; Micro Four Thirds type sensor is smaller than APS-C

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.

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.

Plenty of control; 4K video; Great EVF

Plastic build; APS-C rivals offer better dynamic range

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.

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

This is my first mirrorless camera, I am going overseas soon and always said I would get one for travel. I did a lot of searching for one in my budget and I must say now I have had some time with camera, I have found it quite easy to use for my first decent camera.

Easy to use; Compact; Screen size

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...

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
