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, Continue: In depth
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 ful...

With things hotting up considerably in the mirrorless camera market, a mild upgrade was never going to cut it, especially in the light of MFT rival Olympus's Mark II E-M5, but Panasonic has taken a slightly different tack. So while the G7 doesn't have qui...
Comfortable to hold; Loads of function buttons; 4K burst and pre-burst modes are literal game changers and perfect for sports or high-speed photography; Decent shots are possible from this camera, though we'd change that kit lens first; Support for wirele
Eye-sensor can sometimes be a little fiddly, switching off the rear LCD when your eye isn't behind the viewfinder; No charging from the camera itself, and an external charger is still needed;
There's no other way of saying this, but Panasonic's Lumix G7 is an absolute game changer when it comes to cameras, and the 4K pre-burst has to be one of our favourite additions to a digital camera in the eight years we've been reviewing cameras.Simply pu...

Some years ago we reviewed one of the first hybrid stills/video cameras – also from Panasonic – and confidently predicted that it was a fiasco that would never fly. It was impossible, we said, to combine the two functions in a single camera without compro...
