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...
Compact design, Builtin electronic viewfinder that tilts to 90°, Flawless build quality, Excellent design and handling, Autofocus works quickly in all conditions, Stabiliser built into the camera body, Excellent picture quality up to 3200 ISO, Discreet sh
Viewfinder image is oversaturated and can be prone to rainbow effects, LCD rather than OLED viewfinder, Eye sensor is too sensitive, A little complex to get the hang of using properly, Excessive number of Fn buttons, No stabilisation in video mode, No mic
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...
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...
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...
Colour noise in high-ISO shots, some viewfinder activation lag, continuous autofocus still not quite there, accidental focus point adjustment via touchscreen, so-so battery life, pinpoint AF requires double tap, overexposure can be an issue
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...

All these features do come at a price: £819 for the body alone might sound a lot, but compared to the GX1's £750 launch price - and considering the GX7 has a built-in EVF - it's a fair price. Kit options extend up to £999 for the 20mm lens package, which while not...
Very crisp vari-angle touchscreen, Innovative and high-quality tilting EVF, Very fast auto-focus system
3:2 aspect screen not ideal for photos or video, Noise control not quite as good as very best
The Panasonic Lumix GX7 is a real leap forward in comparison to its predecessor, the GX1. It's a solidly designed CSC with some real stand-out features, including the tilt-angle viewfinder and exemplary touchscreen LCD, that takes great photos, too....
The Panasonic GX7 is a very nicely constructed camera that should meet the needs of experienced photographers looking for a small camera that accepts interchangeable lenses and enables plenty of control. It's a good alternative to a DSLR.It's designed to...
