With the increasing importance of video, Panasonic has placed the emphasis very much on the G7s movie capabilities without treading too closely on the Lumix GH4s toes. Unlike the manufacturers flagship model, the Lumix G7 doesnt record cinema-grade DC...
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 cont...
While the G7 design and build may lack the excitement of cameras like the Fuji X-T10, it has one of the most well-rounded feature sets available, with a high quality OLED viewfinder, a vari-angle touch-screen, and Wi-Fi connectivity....
Plastic build, APS-C rivals offer better dynamic range
The Panasonic Lumix G7 is what we hoped for and expected from a new G-series camera this year. We get the same serious style, with some performance improvements and the same class of 4K video skills we saw in the GH4. Set to sell for £599 body-only or fr...
Panasonics designers have clearly gone back to the drawing board to create the Lumix G7 and unlike the Lumix G6 that had flowing lines and rounded edges, the Lumix G7 has a more angular design. The redesigned shape of the pentaprism resembles Olympuss O...
Abstract: Replacing the Panasonic G6, the G7 sits beneath the Panasonic GH4 in the company's line-up of compact system cameras. It has the same 16MP sensor as the GX7, with the processor from the GH4.A key feature of the G7 is that it's possible to shoot 8MP imag...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 has a 16 megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor in combination with the newly developed and reconfigured Venus Engine which means it provides a combination of really high quality image capture with super-fast signal processing. Furt...
Compact and lightweight for a fully-featured interchangeable-lens camera; Really fast autofocus; Good all-around performance too; Generous buffer depth; Versatile tilt/swivel LCD and high-res viewfinder; Touch-screen controls; Very affordable pricetag,
Out of the box, colors are muted by consumer standards; Warm white balance under incandescent light; Handgrip is a little shallow for those with larger hands; Wi-Fi is overly complex and has limited range
Courtesy of a detailed knowledge of the bokeh characteristics of its lenses, Panasonic can determine the direction and magnitude of the focus adjustment needed to obtain a focus lock, much as does a phase-detection autofocus sensor. However, it doesn't n...
Camera Review: Panasonic Lumix DMCG7, NOVEMBER 11, 2015, By Greg Scoblete, 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 prog
Camera Review: Panasonic Lumix DMCG7
The first thing Patiño told us after his time with the camera was that it was “feature rich.” This is, unquestionably, a lot of camera for the price. It delivers image quality on par with other mirrorless models in its class but does trail some competitor...

Excellent 4K video recording options, 4K Photo mode for 8MP stills at 30 fps, Vibrant photo and video quality, Great 16 megapixel still shots, Reasonable price
Not so great at low light photography or video, Panasonic USB connections are a bit annoying
Our bottom line is that this camera is a worthwhile buy for people who wnt something portable, reliable and affordable that can do great 4K video and high resolution photography under lit conditions.Check the Price of the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G7KS DSLM Mi...
