I’m so happy with this purchase and that I finally upgraded from the old tech and murky IQ from Canon and the unreliable Sony’s (VIDEO SPECIFIC WORK)
– Great Video Capabilities and great IQ in both 4K/100Mbps and 1080p/28Mbps (and don’t let 28mpbs fool you!! Panasonic’s 1080p is way better than the recent Sony’s with a really soft 1080p) – Battery life is actually impresive making it very reliable for any type of work. (It’s always smart to have a spare) – File size and MP4 codec is easy and so friendly to edit even in 4K on my PC. – Super friendly UI it took me nothing to set up and understand most features of the camera. – ISO noise is improved or better than the GH4. – Nice ergonomic design overall.
IMPORTANT Coming from APC and FF world. M43 size sensors are nothing to complain about. You can even buy a focal reducer to “fix it” if you’re not getting that 35mm equivalent or bokeh bothers you that much. For me the sensor size is another nice but overrated feature that other brands use to sell and justify their costs along with other lousy features but almost never a real IQ improvement but.. hey you get a real nice and expensive door stopper so don’t let me stop you.
The only minimal cons I have are
– The kit 14-42 lens size and plastic feel. ( Yes, it looks and feels more like a little toy lens than a real lens yet it holds amazing quality for a kit lens) – LCD color/temperature is inacurate but you can tweak it a bit on your settings.. still double checking the OLED LVF for colors/temp will help you alot. – Saddly no HDMI out on this one while recording.. BUT you can use Panasonic’s Image app via Wifi and use any smartphone or tablet as a monitor and camera controller. – Very lightweight for handheld shoting (if you like that kind of work) attempting this you’ll end up with a lot of beautiful shaky 4k footage even if you have good pulse but also this can be improved with a weighted handgrip or cage. – SD card compartment at the bottom. (Not an Issue if you have a high capacity SD card but it is if you’re constantly changing it)

With prices of today’s cameras so high, the G7 can be found for around $250 used and it is plenty of camera for most people. I highly recommend it.
I’ve had the camera since 2017 and it is my only m43 camera. I use it with the 14-140ii, 9-18mm, 25mm/1.7 and 43/1.8 primes. It has been a great reliable camera through the years taken to hikes in the mountains, vacations and family gatherings – always delivering good pictures and videos.
I think that the shutter shock issue was a little overblown. It has never been an issue for me even keeping the camera in mechanical only shutter. Not saying it does not exist but it is not something that had bothered me.
I used the G7 to record my daughter’s soccer games for a couple of years and it performed well there as well managing to keep up focus with the action. I used only FHD 60fps so cannot comment on the 4K video. The microphone port made a huge difference in recording good sound.
The body is very light at only 400g which keeps the package easy to carry for extended periods of time. With the 14-140 lens the combo weights almost the same as my Sony A57 DSLR alone. The newer upgrades G85 and G95 have gotten bulkier and heavier. Adding image stabilization is probably the main reason for that. With the 14-140 having IOS and the prime lenses being fast I have not missed the in-body image stabilization of the newer models, hence never upgraded.
The ergonomics are great with two control dials and plenty of customizable buttons. I love the well placed quick focus mode selector switch and the touchscreen focus select area while looking through the viewfinder. I like the power slider next to the mode dial on the right side of the camera allowing one hand operation when needed. The power switch being on the left side of the camera is what I did not like on all Olympus bodies when I was deciding which brand to go with.
I have a small Meike tilt and swivel TTL flash that works really great with the G7. It makes for a light combo at family gatherings for high quality bounced flash pictures.
I use only RAW so cannot comment on the JPEG engine. The RAW files allow lots of latitude during processing. Lifting shadows and lowering highlights works very well. ISO up to 3200/6400 is perfectly usable when processed properly.

I had a friend who was using a Fuji camera and wanted a similar camera without paying $2,000+ for it. I ordered this and have been very impressed with the quality! I am very amateur and not at all experienced in photography but it wasn’t difficult at all to play around with the settings and get some great pictures. Highly recommend if you’re wanting a good quality camera without the insane price tag!

Todos sabemos que las camaras de calidad tanto Reflex como Mirorless son caras. Yo uso la camara para trabajar, tenemos una agencia de marketing digital. Antes usaba la Canon Rebel T5i y ahora estamos usando esta Panasonic Lumix G7.
Principales diferencias entre la G7 y la Rebel T5i:
TAMAÑO Ganador: Lumix G7 – La G7 es mirrorless por lo que es mas chica de tamaño y mas ligera . Ademas usa sensor micro cuatro tercios por lo que los lentes son mas compactos comparados con los de la Canon.
CALIDAD EN FOTOGRAFIA Ganador: Lumix G7 – Usamos tanto la Canon T5i como la Lumix G7 para tomar fotografia de comida y creemos que la G7 es mejor que la T5i por la viveza de los colores. El unico punto negativo de la G7 es que las fotos son en tamaño 16MB y las de la Canon T5i es de 18MB.
CALIDAD EN VIDEO Ganador: Lumix G7 – La G7 graba en 4K por lo que no hay punto de comparación. En video la T5i no tiene nada que hacer contra la G7.
FUNCIONES EXTRAS: Ganador: Lumix G7 – Aun no termino de descubrir al 100% la camara, pero hasta ahora he visto dos funciones muy practicas que no tiene la T5i. La primera es foto en 4K; basicamente te permite grabar pequeños clips de video y de ahi sacar fotos 4K de excelente calidad de 8MB. Y la otra funcion es la de timelapse: se pueden crear los efectos de timelapse muy fácilmente.
FACILIDAD DEL SOFTWARE: Ganador: Canon T5i – Quiza es porque aun no me acostumbro al sistema de Panasonic, pero se me hacia mas facil el sistema Canon. Pero igual aquí es cuestión de acostumbrarse.
Creo que las camaras Reflex ya van de salida. Si vas a comprar una camara te recomiendo una mirrorless. Y si estas comparando entre la Canon T5i y la Lumix G7, te puedo decir con seguridad que la Lumix G7 es mucho mejor. Tiene mas funciones y podrás grabar video en 4K.

Tengo años que no compraba una cámara de lentes intercambiables, no lo hacia por el precio, el peso y el volumen, estuve viendo camaras “full frame” pero su precio estaba elevadisimo, pense en una “bridge” pero queria poder ponerle lentes, no conocia el formato micro 4/3 y me lo tope en videos de youtube, despues de ver lo que esta camara podia hacer, tome la decision de comprarla, esta camara panasonic lumix G7 resulto ser excelente, el formato micro 4/3 hace que la camara sea mas compacta que las “full frame”, por lo que es mas portatil, ligera y facil de transportar, al tener un “crop” de 2, un lente de 25mm equivale a uno de 50 mm, trae un lente 14-42 mm que equivale a un 28-84mm, su equivalente es el doble del tamaño, los lentes son muy economicos y faciles de transportar (en comparacion de las otras marcas), la llevo a todas partes sin problemas, le he comprado dos lentes aparte del que traia incluida y son excelentes, gracias a que el precios de los lentes es bastante economicos y faciles de transportar, estoy pensando comprar muchos mas, quiero experimentar que diferentes formatos y caracteristicas de los lentes disponibles, la camara me ha gustado muchisimo, tiene funciones de camaras de precio mucho mas elevado, estoy mas que satisfecho con la camara, si la volveria a comprar? claro que si y la recomiendo ampliamente
