Camera Overview — Panasonic DMC-G7

The Panasonic LUMIX G7 is a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera built around a 16MP sensor powered by the Venus Engine 9 image processor. It supports an ISO range of 100 to 25600, giving shooters flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. On the autofocus side, the G7 uses Panasonic's Depth from Defocus (DFD) system combined with Contrast Detection and Face Detection AF, offering a 49-point focus grid and subject tracking for moving subjects.

For stills, the camera delivers a maximum resolution of 4592x3448 pixels and a burst mode capable of up to 8 frames per second. Video capabilities are a clear strength here — the G7 records 4K at up to 30p and 24p, as well as Full HD at 60p, all in 8-bit color. Video color profiles include Cinelike D and Cinelike V alongside Standard.

The 3.0-inch fully articulating touchscreen LCD resolves at 1,040,000 dots, while the electronic viewfinder hits 2,360,000 dots at 60Hz. The body is constructed from composite plastic, measures 125.3 x 86.0 x 74.8 mm, and weighs 410g. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, a 3.5mm microphone jack, Micro HDMI output, and a built-in pop-up flash.

Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. There is no weather sealing and no in-body image stabilization, with stabilization instead relying on lens-based systems.
