Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix GX7 was introduced in 2013 and continues to war. This camera mirrorless interchangeable lens provides very complete and versatile demanding photographers who want a competent team manageable solution. Compact and rugged design slightly...

Abstract: But regular cameras are now catching up in the convenience stakes. Some have WiFi built in so you can send images to social networking sites, while compact system cameras offer the high-quality image capabilities of DSLRs but in a smaller and more mana...
Solid metal build, angle adjustable eye level viewfinder and tilting rear LCD, very quiet operation, smooth zoom action
Backplate button smaller than we’d like, not an APS-C sensor, looks expensive unless directly compared with rivals offering similar features
Whilst not cheap at £819 body only, or £899 with a 14-42mm kit zoom comparable to the one provided with the Olympus E-P5 – not just in size and reach but with regard also to the swiftness and quietness of its auto focus performance – the Panasonic does ap...
Theres no question that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 is a real leap forward in comparison to its predecessor, the GX1. Every area of the camera has been improved, resulting in one of the best compact system cameras available for serious photographers look...

The Lumix GX7 can't fail to please, as Panasonic has ticked all the right boxes with this interchangeable lens compact. In fact, it would have made a practically flawless camera if it hadn't been for the EVF being a bit too prone to simmer and rainbow eff...
Panasonic's LUMIX GX7 is the most feature-packed compact camera we've seen. All of these features are useful to varying degrees, but the overall package is a versatile one. The GX7 is a great compromise between the small size of a compact camera and the p...
So, in that respect, the GX7 is a big win over the E-P5. You don't have to worry about carrying around a bulky EVF attachment—which, in our opinion, ruins the classic good looks of the E-P5—and you can't misplace what's built into the camera. Ergonomicall...

The Lumix GX7 is the package deal. It's bursting with features, it's a pleasure to use and it produces some excellent shots. Pro-spec features such as a 1/8000th sec maximum shutter speed and that tilt-angle viewfinder further bolster the package de...
