Description

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G7 is an extensive mirrorless camera for the advanced photographer. With the 14-42mm lens, you can take portrait and landscape photos, for example. The camera photographs with a high resolution and records in 4K image quality. The powerful image processor makes it possible to take up to 80 photos per second with a 1/16000 maximum shutter speed. The G7 doesn't only stand out in speed. The design is also well thought out. The 3-inch touchscreen is tiltable in every direction, so you can take photos from the most difficult angles. You can control the camera with your smartphone or tablet via the Panasonic Image app, while you're looking at the viewfinder from a distance. Because the G7 has a Micro Four Thirds lens mount, you can use the extensive assortment of lenses from Panasonic and Olympus.

handy device whose results are super

easy in use
razor sharp photos
light weight
cheap look

I am a 46 year old woman and I prefer to photograph animals and children. The device should not be too complicated for me. Because children and animals are always on the move, the 4K option is ideal for me. So there is always a perfect photo in between. The use of the device seemed very complicated at first. But because of the very compact and clear instructions for use, I mastered it in no time. The photos are razor sharp and video recording is also very easy. The option of WiFi is ideal for processing and displaying everything immediately. That's what everyone wants. ! I think the only downside is that the device looks a bit cheap and that the lens cap is not attached with a string

Super image recordings, not user-friendly too many buttons

App works great
Great beautiful photo and film when you know how to deal with the settings and also have knowledge of this

As a hobby photographer for various school activities, nature photography as well as family photos, I was very curious about the functions and operation of this camera. When unpacking and holding it, the camera came across as fragile. All the more reason to immediately attach the carrying strap. The battery was full so I could immediately get to work with the camera. When inserting the battery and the SD card, you immediately notice that you have to lock the cover yourself and that it does not click into place by itself. The rotatable touchscreen screen smoothly rotates in all directions and can be used if you e.g. want to take a selfie with the environment both with film and photo. What is also striking are the many push buttons (17) and rotary wheels (6) and 1 on/or switch. I especially like the push buttons for a consumer camera with a touchscreen. The impression is that the manufacturer has done its utmost to equip the camera with the best options, but at the expense of some practical operation (you can quickly touch something without wanting to). Switched on the camera and then go through all settings in the menu and set various options, operation is possible here with the menu/set button or the touchscreen. The appearance of the menu is customizable in 4 background colors. The flash does not open automatically, but you have to open it yourself by pressing the button to the left of the flash. Very handy is having the ISO and white balance settings close at hand via the dials and confirmation button on top. A lot is possible via the WiFi, such as using the app that takes over the camera and lets you take the photo without using the camera. It is also possible to connect to the TV and show your photos on it. Since I have a 4K TV I wanted to give this a try. The connection works but the display failed after 2 hours of trying (Samsung smart TV shows that the connection is there and the camera also sees it). Setting the standard WiFi settings in the camera as you do with a tablet or PC also failed, the camera indicated that it had a connection after entering the correct data, but the connection kept dropping. Photos and video are really stunningly beautiful when you know how to deal with all the settings and know what to set for the right situation. The 4K function takes this one step further by allowing you to choose the right photo yourself after shooting a series of burst photos and selecting it via the touchscreen.

What an all-rounder...!!!

light
Many possibilities
4K
Fast shooting is not possible in certain modes

What a beautiful device, not too heavy and well designed. It is very easy to use. There is a program for every moment. Very nice is the possibility to film in 4K. What is less is that with 4K recordings (photos) you have to wait until the images are saved. It is not possible to quickly take pictures.
