For an entry to mid level MFT camera, the G7 still holds up well today for both stills and video. As pointed out here, the 16mp sensor shouldn't be an issue for the audience this is aimed at. It's Achilles heel is the total lack of in body stabilization - something every Olympus camera has and Panasonic added in their next generation of bodies. You will really need to limit yourself to Panasonic lenses with stabilization built in, and even then it isn't anywhere as effective as the Olympus or later Panasonic cameras. But again, probably good enough for the not-so-advanced photographer who wants a camera that puts total control at their fingertips. That is the main strength here - you can't buy a camera with better controls for basic shooting scenarios. In addition you get a mic input and good built-in pre-amps - very surprising at this price point. If you are starting out on a budget, as I write this I can find this camera on eBay for well under $300; sometimes under $250. That makes it a huge bang for buck proposition: a good workhorse camera, professional controls, good feel in the hand - not too big / not too small - for just a few hundred dollars. That's money you can put toward good MFT lenses, which will contribute more to the quality of your pictures than any camera will.

Honestly an amazing video.i asked two friends who are professional photographers what camera I should start with and they both told me this camera, gave me a few pointers. They also told me to go watch a few reviews on it and you were spot on with all the advice they gave me. The only thing, which is minimal but worth noting, was they warned me to never EVER get it wet, not even a splash or a few rain drops. As it could damage the camera irreparably. That being said awesome video, this should have so many more views?!

Many photo print sites don't even let you upload anything more than 6Mb anyway.) Look forward to seeing more of your reviews!

Is there an overheat problem that the camera could shut down if filming for too long? Thanks for the review!
