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

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

There are few things that can get a man's heart pumping like a new camera and a legendary car race to test it out at. Or at least that's how I felt when I got a chance to take the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 for a spin at the Indianapolis 500 in May.

Panasonic G7 review: 4K is the big headline feature of the Lumix G7 – and it's not just for videographers. Find out how it performs in our Panasonic Lumix G7 review. Panasonic has introduced the Lumix G7 to replace the G6, and it sits just below the Panasonic GH4 – but alongside the GX7.

There's no doubt Panasonic's gunning for D-SLR converts here, but the G7 is equally enjoyable to use via its touch screen controls and ‘Quick Menu'. There are also big ticks for the ‘DFD' autofocusing, OLED viewfinder and, again, Panasonic's ability to squeeze a big performance out of its 16 MP...

Rebecca Frogley got to work checking out all of the features of Panasonic's new Lumix DMC-G7K. Read about what she thought of it and what this camera can do Over the past decade, digital video and still cameras have undergone an interesting convergence; video has begun to offer the capture of still...

Our long-awaited full hands-on review of the Panasonic Lumix G7 is finally here. Compact and powerful, the G7 sports a 16-Megapixel Live MOS imaging sensor sitting behind their Micro Four-Thirds mount system.

iAuto and Program shooting modes are accurate and easy in all situations; Dedicated Video Capture Button is always ready to record; Outstanding image quality for both still images and video; Excellent performance; Mega O.I.S.

Lacks internal image stabilization that has been noticeably more effective that being built into the lenses; Higher ISO settings are way to noisy to be used; No NFC for quick connections to smartphones

The G7 has two superb cameras to compete with. The Canon EOS 750D is a true SLR that doesn't put a foot wrong and beats the G7 for image quality. The G7 is faster in continuous mode, though, its viewfinder is larger and it has more plentiful physical controls.

The G7 is packed with innovative features that make it a real alternative to a DSLR. Its high burst rate, flip-out screen and focus peaking features are all fantastic, and make the G7 a pleasure to shoot with. It feels light and portable yet is very robust, and its EVF performed well too.
