Panasonic G7 Body Black DMC-G7GN-K review

A great mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera for families and travelers, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 is a compelling alternative to similarly priced dSLRs.

For the money; the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 delivers great photo and video; excellent performance and a broad feature set.

It's another in a long line of Panasonic cameras with proprietary USB connectors and some people might find it too complicated.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 Review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 ($799.99 with 14-42mm lens) is a premium camera wrapped in a plastic body and bundled with a starter zoom lens. If you can get past the plasticky feel, you'll find that the 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor does a fine job capturing images, and an even better one when it comes to 4K video. It's also got a built-in EVF, a vari-angle rear LCD, plenty of on-body controls, and built-in Wi-Fi. But it can't keep up with our favorite mirrorless camera, the Editors' Choice Sony Alpha 6000 ($549.99 at Dell Technologies) . The Alpha 6000 doesn't support 4K, but it does capture 24-megapixel images at 11.1fps. DesignDespite dropping the mirror box, the G7 ($597.99 at Amazon)  takes its design cues from SLRs. Its body is slim, with sharp angles, but the handgrip is deep and the EVF occupies the same space as the optical viewfinder would in an SLR. It measures 3.4 by 4.9 by 3 inches (HWD) and weighs 14.6 ounces without a lens. Compare that with the Olympus OM-D E-...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7's excellent 4K capture will appeal to you if video is a priority, but its plastic body may be a turnoff.

An affordable way to record 4K; Fast autofocus; Strong low light performance;
