The little Panasonic GF7 packs a lot of performance into a small, lightweight and easy to use package. It may be billed as an entry-level camera and comes in at an affordable, entry-level price, but the GF7 offers a lot of camera for the money.

Very good image quality for its size; Fast AF for its class; 10fps burst mode with electronic shutter; Lightweight, yet well-built, compact design; Great value for the money

Continuous AF is not reliable; Shallow buffer with RAW; Below average battery life; No EVF; Maximum mechanical shutter speed of only 1/500s

My primary goal in purchasing a new camera was fast autofocus, smallish size, and a significant improvement in picture quality vs my old faithful LX5. The cameras I also considered were the Sony RX100 and a5100. My LX5 just cant keep up with motion very well.

small (for an interchangable lens camea) good access to all controls with the touch screen wifi works well flip screenit's useful for more than just selfies good low light af performance good af performance everywhere else too super fast burst speed (with electronic shutter) silent mode can take...

flash does not work in e-shutter mode flash switch could be fiddley for some

All around this is a great camera - compact, light, fashionable, cutting edge, and takes quality photos. I am pretty impressed. The remote control function over wifi is really neat and you can upload photos to your phone without an USB cable. Highly recommend this camera model!

I just bought GF7 and found that the camera cannot change Region from PAL to NTSC Then GF7 cannot change frame rate from 25/50 to 30/60. This is very disappointed. Then you cannot mix footage from GF7 PAL Region into other footage which is 30/60fps.

Features Handling Performance Verdict Specification The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF7 is the latest entry level mirrorless camera from Panasonic, and along with a redesigned body, features a 16 megapixel sensor, 3inch tilting touch screen and built in Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi built in - remote operation; Great image quality; Panoramic mode; New design with mode compact body; High resolution tilting touch-screen; Fast operation; focus; shot to shot; Access to a wide range of Micro Four Thirds lenses; Selfie features are quite good (surprisingly; Available with...

No flash hot-shoe; 230 shot battery life; Auto white balance performance could be better; Would be nice if Wi-Fi supported direct uploads; rather than going via Lumix logon

The Panasonic Lumix GF7 is a small and stylish compact system camera designed to take better "selfies". The GF7 features a Micro Four Thirds-sized 16 megapixel Live MOS image sensor, Venus Engine processor, Light Speed AF system with new Low Light AF and Face / Eye Detection AF modes, a tiltable 3"...

The Panasonic Lumix GF7 is a very accessible compact system camera. After the Panasonic GF6 tried to inject a bit of enthusiast appeal into this entry-level CSC series, the 16-megapixel GF7 has its eye on a more mainstream audience.

Handy tilt screen; Decent image quality; Good AF

Poor battery life; Dodgy panorama mode; Faulty picture preview mode

So, I upgraded from the mighty GF1, and have been using this camera for the past 3 weeks with the 12-35mm, the original 20mm pancake and also the X Vario 12-35mm. Pros: - Suffice to say that the camera is feature packed and it is comparable to the other GF and GX cameras (it really excels with the x...

High-end smartphones seem to trying their best to kill the point-and-shoot. Handset including the iPhone 6, LG G4 and Samsung Galaxy S6 all have amazing rear-facing cameras, and even cheaper devices are making big strides in image quality.

Great image quality; Small form factor; Interchangeable lenses

Clunky manual controls; No focus ring on included lens; Comparatively limited battery

Panasonic's GF7 combines two of the most popular camera trends worldwide: small cameras and selfies. While that might seem a little desperate, Panasonic isn't sacrificing much to accomplish those goals, pulling no punches in the performance department.
