Camera Review
Panasonic Lumix DMCG7
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

It's another in a long line of Panasonic cameras with proprietary USB connectors and some people might find it too complicated
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
4K photography is only possible in jpg
Mechanical shutter causes some softness at around 1/100th exposures
Number of external controls make the camera seem more complex than it is
Dated Q.Menu is overcomplex
Touchscreen control tabs leave the screen a bit cluttered (though they can be disab
Not so great at low light photography or video
Panasonic USB connections are a bit annoying
Processing speeds in 4K photo modes could be faster
Top plate
Dials and buttons have a plasticky feel
Lowresolution previews in 4K photo mode via the EVF
An affordable way to record 4K, Fast autofocus, Strong low light performance
Plasticky body, 4K doesn't always look wonderful
While I certainly wouldn't call £680 dirt cheap, it's not at all bad for what you get with the Panasonic Lumix G7. It's a lightweight interchangeable lens camera with above average low light performance, lightning-fast autofocus, strong user friendliness...

It's another in a long line of Panasonic cameras with proprietary USB connectors and some people might find it too complicated
A great mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera for families and travelers, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 is a compelling alternative to similarly priced dSLRs...
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...

On a budget but refuse to compromise? This is the camera for you. Simply put: This is a fantastic camera. Not only does it soundly kick butt performance-wise, but if you care about video this is perhaps the best value around. That may change soon, but...

Buttons all over the place, Menus are sometimes a bit complicated, No headphone jack, No sensor stabilization
Let's not beat about the bush; Panasonic's Lumix G7 is nearly the perfect interchangeable-lens camera for the majority of users. It's well-built, fairly compact and light, very fast, takes beautiful photos, is gifted in video (4K/UHD!), offers great custo...

Affordable, fully featured screen and viewfinder, impressive 4K capture, decent image quality (4K Photo has its uses too), pinpoint autofocus mode, extensive and customisable controls, silent electronic shutter option
Boxy and plasticky build, larger than G6 predecessor, occasional autofocus slip-ups, single SD card (slot in battery compartment), no 4K Cinema mode, 4K Photo pre-burst focus issues, battery life could be better
So there we have it, the GH4 junior. No, we mean Lumix G7. Just like the top-end model, the G7 offers great image quality, excellent 4K video capture, super-fast autofocus, and even the 4K Photo option has its uses. The biggest drawback in the G7 i...
4K video and 4K Photo modes, Electronic shutter enables silent operation, Twin control dials for independent aperture and shutter speed control, Superb 2,36-million-dot electronic viewfinder
Operational speed in 4K Photo modes needs to be faster, Top plate, dials and buttons have a plasticky feel, Low resolution previews via EVF in 4K burst photo mode
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...

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...
