Real bargain for a camera
The Panasonic G-7 offers a great deal in a micro 4/3 format camera at a very attractive price. It offers many features including 4k video if desired. There are nice options for fine tuning jpeg images in terms of color, saturation, mid-tone separation, and noise. A built-in tilt monitor (roll and tip) in the display is very useful. The panorama function works much better than I expected, but doing a full 180 degrees takes some practice to learn h... Show More

I'm loving the 4K photo modes
I received a Panasonic LUMIX G7 camera. All opinions are my own. Since we are a family of six with different interests, we often find ourselves at one outing or another that I want to document in photos. I always take a plethora of pictures, with the hopes of catching those perfect moments we can appreciate for years to come. I want us to have memories to look at when times get tough and we need a reminder of how blessed we are. I also like to ta... Show More

Nice Carry Around Best Bang for Buck Consum Camcorder
I purchased this to use as a Camcorder after returning a Canon Consumer Camcorder from another vendor. For the $ it's hard to go wrong as a camcorder. The Still images are pretty good with the Kit Lens (I can't complain really). The Panasonic Menu system is pretty easy to navigate however many featuers are not explained well in the Advanced Manual. I have a pretty good knowledge of features and their use but some need additional explanation. The ... Show More

Amazing Photo Clarity and Lightweight
I received a Panasonic LUMIX G7 camera. All opinions are my own. I am not a professional photographer and have read a few books so I consider myself just a baby step above armature when it comes to photography. I recently received the Lumix G7 to review and my initial impression is that I am very impressed. Photo Quality: The photo quality taken either as a single photo or as a 4K photo is crisp, clear, and sharp. More so than any camera I have o... Show More

Best Budget 4K Shooter!
This is (and will be for some time) my favorite recommendation for budget 4K video. Cheap (much less than I paid for my T3i kit back in the day) but very solid investment. But it has some finicky bits about it. 4K image quality is great at 100mbps. I use the Lexar UHS-1 cards and they maintain speed fine with no buffer issues. Lens mount stays secure but easy to remove and add lenses. Camera strap rings flap around and make obnoxious sounds - not... Show More

Great camera for it's price.
Before even thinking I would be into photography I bought this camera for videography, especially for it's well-known 4k video capabilities. Quickly after getting this camera, I realized I would much prefer and love to do photography; I feared that I made a mistake in buying this camera and only realizing after the return period was up that I wanted to take pictures and not so much video. I've spent a few months learning about photography setting... Show More

Mini GH4?
I'm very happy with the G7. If you have researched into this camera, read and watched reviews, then you know what you're getting. It is exactly what I was expecting; a nice small (but still ergonomic) high quality micro four thirds camera. Panasonic menus are very easy to use. Function buttons and dials are very useful and customizable. Image quality is great, videos too. This brings me to my few complaints about the camera, the build quality. Th... Show More

I am in love with this camera!
The G7 is not my first mirrorless and I have used dslrs in the past, but all of those pale in comparison to the video quality of this camera. This is the first camera I've purchased. The 4k video is crystal clear and the colors are fantastic. The autofocus is off at times so keep an eye on focus if you use that setting. The good thing is if the autofocus is off, one touch on the touchscreen fixes it immediately. One of my favorite features is the... Show More

I bought it to replace my Canon 600d mainly for stills and to be the B-cam for my still not buyed a7s that i'll get around february, and i'm quite impressed. Didn't expect the camera to be so good at all. It fells great in the hand and its very compact and light weight.

Came from a Canon DSLR and I'm glad I switched!
I had a t3i and 7D before I bought the LUMIX G7. I really liked the t3i's flip out screen and the 7D's easy controls for adjusting aperture. On the G7 you get both of those plus a touch screen and wifi, 4K video, good battery life, an evf, better low light (3200 ISO looks decent) and more. You can adjust aperture on the G7 with the dial around the shutter button. To adjust shutter speed you use the dial where your thumb would be. Now the amazing ... Show More

Excellent video camera with 4K and CineD Log
This is one of the best cameras in its price range for 4K video. Using CineD, you gain a few extra stops of dynamic range, and the wealth of professional controls and features are very handy. You can hook up an external power supply using a battery-type adapter. It takes all the m4/3 lenses. Dual dials on the right allow you to quickly and intuitively adjust aperture and shutter speed simultaneously; the multiple wheels and buttons can be customi... Show More

Am enjoying this camera
We bought this camera to travel with, and to take pictures of theatrical performances. For the theatrical performances the silent mode was a big selling point. Very few other cameras of it's type have that. It may be a bit bigger than We wanted for travel, but We were only buying one camera. It is light weight, and not too large. With the 14-42mm lens it is a smaller profile. With a small prime it would be even more so. The camera has a great amo... Show More

YES! The G7 DOES fit into the Ruggard Hunter 15 NICELY!
I'm reviewing the B&H Kit value here, I'll review the G7 separately under the Lumix G7 product side. I'm doing that because many of the reviews under this kit indicate that the camera does not fit into the included bag...well that's absolutely NOT an issue!!!! The Ruggard Hunter 15 is a very nice, very small camera bag that snugs around the camera nicely...but not too tight. I would call it a perfect fit! The key is that you have to configure t...

Simply Amazing!

Very dissapointing
When I decided I wanted a small camera for occasional use, Micro 4/3 seemed like the best bet, and the Lumix DMC-G7 seemed like a great camera. With many great features, and solid basics like the high res EVF and fully articulating rear screen, built in flash, etc. I was terribly disappointed after shooting a few dozen photos, in RAW, and processing them in Lr like I've been doing for six years now. Lackluster would describe it. Too much money an... Show More

14-140mm Lens with a fun body attached
I carry a GM1 as my main travel camera. More of my favorite shots are taken with that camera than my larger kit because I usually have it with me. After a recent canoe trip, I was wanting for a small zoom to fit on the GM1 and the 14-140mm fit the bill. An extra $200-300 for the G7 body was a no brainer as at the time of this writing, the 14-140mm doesn't come in a kit with any other body. During the first couple of weeks of ownership, I've been ...

AMAZING AS A 4K VIDEO CAMERA
I was attracted to this camera for its ability to shoot 4K video as well a wide assortment of still possibilities. I have been shooting HD 1280 video on three different Panasonic video cameras for the past eight years. My interest in using 4K was the ability to photograph master video shots that could be reedited and enlarged to HD video without loosing picture quality. I recently captured some stunning footage of a 5 year old granddaughter testi... Show More

Best 4k for the buck
The 4k recordings coming out of this camera are on par with the GH4. However, you should know that is has more rolling shutter than the GH4. Surprisingly, High iso (1600+) in video is about one stop better than the gh4. So, this is still a great option to alongside the GH4. Also, there is not as much crop into the 4/3 sensor as with the GH4 which is a plus for wide angle lenses. For stills, this camera is blazingly fast. I do not have problems ke... Show More

Lumix DMC-G7 Is A Wonderful Upgrade
I jumped from a first generation Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 to this DMC-G7. First, my G1 is still performing as new after many thousands of exposures. The G1 has been 100 percent reliable. Given the great performance of the G1, I was interested in jumping to a current model with a higher mega-pixel sensor, and possibly controls that were a little easier to operate. Since I shoot mostly in manual mode, my biggest complaint with the G1 wa... Show More

The G7 is the product of Panasonic's many years in the micro 4/3 category.
