Plasticky body; 4K doesn’t always look wonderful;

The camera market has self-saturated. There's so much good kit out there, capable of producing such high quality images, that product updates tend to focus on new features rather than significant core changes to sell themselves.

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

There are few things that can get a man's heart pumping like a new camera and a legendary car race to test it out at. Or at least that's how I felt when I got a chance to take the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 for a spin at the Indianapolis 500 in May.

Ideal camera for holidays with its medium size and weight. Very versatile including the new 4K technology.

Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls; Takes 4k Images

We get hands-on with our Panasonic G7 review. Taking a look at its Mirrorless Micro 4/3 image sensor. Testing its creative filters, dynamic range settings, diffraction compensation, low light capabilities, color, sharpness, touch screen focus, face tracking AF, continuous AF, anti aliasing, moire,...

The G7 is packed with innovative features that make it a real alternative to a DSLR. Its high burst rate, flip-out screen and focus peaking features are all fantastic, and make the G7 a pleasure to shoot with. It feels light and portable yet is very robust, and its EVF performed well too.

I've had this camera for 30 days now, and I cant put it down. I am having an amazing time shooting Night Photography. It's also the perfect size for street photos as well. Very happy with my purchase.

No other camera maker has been as aggressive in adopting 4K technology as Panasonic. While U.S. consumers slowly upgrade their televisions and TV broadcasters gradually add 4K programming, Panasonic is hurriedly packing 4K into nearly every advanced camera rolling out of its factories.

Great still and video quality; solid handling; free-angle display; great feature set; excellent value

No USB 3.0; menu system occasionally confusing; slow eye sensor
