    Still a great camera in 2024
    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.

      This is a great little camera. All the features of a DSLR, slightly more compact size, reasonable lens selection. The best feature for me is that it takes great quality video with superior low-light conditions with reduced noise is darker area. The 4/3 processor does such a great job of delivering bright, colorful photos and videos across a broad spectrum of lighting conditions.

      The best part is, that it doesn't limit the 4K video recording time. You can set the camera so that it creates a new file once the max recording is reached, but it doesn't just stop recording.

      One down side, the focus is a little sluggish on video mode and it doesn't track objects particularly well.

      The lens it comes with is very helpful to help you decide what focal length you’ll need in beginning scenarios. I love how it has great picture quality, the built in mic isn’t bad at all, the colors are great! I know it’s an older camera but it works very well! I’ve had this for I think a year now and love it still. It’s burst mode is very good too, letting me capture better in still pictures of planes and other things.

      Build quality is great! Sound quality is great! Just read the instructions they’re genuinely helpful.

      This is a hyper solid camera for the price. If you're looking to dip your toe into the Panasonic ecosystem this is a solid intro. I bought it to experiment with Micro4/3 and Panasonic lenses without dropping $2,000 on a GH5. It has some HARD limitations but you can account for a lot of them.

      I have a couple uses:
      1. In studio web shows.
      2. Smallscale short film production.

      ---

      In studio it's a beast. With good lighting and audio input this thing looks/sounds amazing. Even the kit lens. It's simple and straightforward, and the recording time/file sizes are super manageable. Additionally with an Elgato HD60s you can run the camera directly into a PC to use it for live streaming. I use it to record format shows/podcasts and run my audio directly into the camera. It's a super simple workflow made possible by how solid this camera is.

      As a film production camera, this is where the limitations come into play. It doesn't handle low light too well. In my experience, the image was barely usable at 1600 ISO if you're trying to make a decent looking film. That was on my Rokinon 35mm T1.5. It just gets grain and distortion really easily.

      Additionally the focus/autofocus isn't the most intuitive. The auto focus is practically nonexistent. I could never get a sharp image with it. On top of that, the focus peaking just didn't seem to do its job. With some practice you can get better at focusing this camera, but other cameras don't take the work. This issue was fairly consistent with different lenses and setups.

      With all that said, depending on your use case you really can't beat it for the price. The 4K is solid and when you can get everything to come together you can make ridiculously good looking projects with this.

      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

      5.0 out of 5 stars Probablemente la mejor cámara por el precio. Lumix G7 vs Canon Rebel T5i.

      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.

      This camera is quite the bang for your buck! Great 4K video, lots of programmable buttons, articulating screen, and it comes with a lens as well! Only downside is no headphone jack, but I record audio externally anyways so this doesn't affect me. Also make sure you get a fast SD card, as slower ones will not work with the camera if you're trying to record 4K. Overall it's a great little camera the gives you almost all of the features of the GH4 but at a fraction of the price!
