Panasonic Lumix GF7 Review - The GF7 is packaged as 'the ultimate selfie camera', but does it still succeed with serious imaging? Find out in our full Panasonic Lumix GF7 review

Compact Size; Front-facing LCD screen; Good image quality

Not as solidly built as some competitors; Image review slow and innacurate

There is of course much, much more to all of these models than selfie shooting and even if you never point it in the direction of your own face, the Lumix GF7 has a lot to offer. It's one of the smallest compact system cameras on the market and is pretty pocketable when fitted with the 12-32mm kit...

Forward facing touch-screen; Self shot and Jump snap modes; Wifi with smartphone remote control; Compact and lightweight

Lacks an electronic viewfinder; No hot shoe; Poor battery life

There's a fair amount of competition in this sector of the market, but perhaps the closest rivals are Panasonic's own GM5, the Sony A5100 and the Olympus PEN E-PL7.

Small body; Touch sensitive screen; Wi-Fi connectivity

No viewfinder or hotshoe

Panasonic's compact GF mirror less camera line has gradually settled into a comfortable position in the market providing mass market point-and-shot appeal while giving...

$699 (with 12-32mm kit lens), available in silver, pink, brown and whiteDisplayThis camera is clearly designed for selfie lovers, as its 3-inch 1.04 million-dot touchscreen display can be flipped up to 180 degrees. That way, the display faces the user for an easy selfie or wefie.

Welcome to generation selfie. The Panasonic Lumix GF7 is the follow-up to 2013's GF6, complete with flip-forward screen for taking those delightfully pouty shots. And if that premise hasn't got you hooked then fear not - as the latest in the entry-level line of Lumix G models, the GF7 is all about...

Decent autofocus system and performance; Wi-Fi improvements; small scale; good build considering affordable price point; tilt-angle touchscreen (with selfie position

Battery life still brutal; panorama mode useless; screen reflections can make exposure hard to assess (no viewfinder possible); Lumix GM1 makes GF's position more questionable

Familiar fantastic Panasonic image quality in a fun, light and easy-to use body with a tilting touchscreen and Wi-Fi.

There's not much to fault about the GF7. It's petite, responsive and straightforward to use, includes some fun shooting modes and takes excellent photos and videos. The poor battery life is disappointing, but our biggest issue is the price.

Panasonic's new DMC-GF7 camera, which was announced at the end of January is the latest of the company's entry-level CSCs and a relatively minor upgrade to its predecessor. The primary benefits of the GF7 over the GF6 it replaces are the new shooting modes it offers for different types of...

The micro four-thirds camera market has matured greatly since the standard was launched seven years ago by Olympus and Panasonic. Starting the first Pen cameras (Olympus) and the first G-series shooters (Panasonic), we've seen each successive model inching closer to the ideal promised by the new...

Small, light design with included lens makes the GF7 a suitable upgrade from point-and-shoot cameras; Intelligent Auto and solid scene modes make it simple to use for beginners; Bright, crisp display makes composing easy, even in direct sunlight

Small light design can be awkward with larger lenses (or if you have large hands); Tiny size means a small battery–buy an extra if you plan to shoot all day; Kit lens isn't great; Encourages selfies
