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.

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...

Dependable and feature-rich, but the Panasonic GF7 is beaten by cheaper rivals.

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

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

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!

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

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 GF series is one of the longest-running compact system camera ranges. Yet while the original Lumix GF1 of 2009 is fondly remembered among enthusiasts as a cult classic, successive models were designed to appeal mainly to entry-level photographers, with simplified controls based around...

+ Tiny size and light weight; + Fast focusing and shooting; + Compatible with huge range of Micro Four Thirds lenses

Playback is slow and low resolution; Cheap-looking design; Image quality lags behind rivals

Not the finest Lumix G around, but we love its size, simplicity and price

Absolutely tiny for a system camera; Very affordable; Selfie-friendly screen

Temperamental autofocus; Stripped back feature-wise; No NFC
