  • Abstract:  What could be better than one Lumix camera to test? A second one – to make comparisons, and having the DMC-G7 and DMC-GX8 go head to head revealed something interesting, though not entirely surprising: a $500 difference between price tags counts for a lot...

  • Abstract:  Power zooms have long been a standard feature on fixed-lens compact cameras, the ultra-zoom models and consumer-level video camcorders, but it's enjoyed limited success in SLR/D-SLR lenses.Canon once offered a 35-80mm EFmount powered zoom, but Pentax has ...

  • The GF7 provides Panasonic with a camera that can compete with the top models from Olympus, which have similar specifications. The GX7 also offers an additional body that can be added to an Olympus system where, with its built-in viewfinder, it's a better...

  • Nimble shooting feel and design, Image stabilisation now in the camera body, NFC and WiFi connectivity options work well, Manual focus is particularly easy to use
  • Viewfinder ideally needs an extra, padded eye cup for total light blockage, No external mic port, Slower than average continuous shooting speeds
  • This is Panasonic's flagship ILC thus far, bringing excellent image quality and a very fleshed-out feature set to the range....

  • This camera is a winner. It stands in comparison with the sublime Olympus OM-D E-M5, losing out only on the placement and style of the electronic viewfinder. With the extensive range of lenses from Panasonic, Olympus and Sigma for the micro four-thirds sy...

  • Buying Guide Best compact system camera Panasonic's GX7 is nice and solid, with a secure, hefty grip for a camera of its type. It has a pretty comprehensive feature set in a relatively small body, although it is a little chunkier than the Panasonic GX1 th...

  • Complete feature-set, Good image and video quality, Solid build quality
  • Viewfinder and touchscreen a perilous combo, Over-exposes photos in bright daylight, Wi-Fi is an afterthought
  • 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...
