Panasonic Lumix G7 vs Canon Rebel EOS T7i hands on comparison

[@BrendaBenoit]

I like how you showed us the actual mirror /sensor difference inside the camera. Thanks!

[@paulbreland6444]

G7 also has the advantage of 4K and wireless operation built in with the free Panasonic "Image App." Straight out of the box G7 can be controlled remotely with any smart phone or tablet and can transfer files wirelessly without removing the SD card. The Canon can do some of these things, ( except shooting 4K ), with an additional device, the Alpine Labs "Pulse". It is also Eye-Fi compatible. "PictBridge" is an advantage the Canon has over the Panasonic. The optional battery grip on the ( T6i ) with THAT camera makes it possible to use either the Li-Ion rechargeable batteries or "AA" batteries. DSLR's have a significant advantage on battery life over mirrorless, .....like 3 to 4 times longer. And lastly, the Canon can be interfaced with a much greater variety of things like photo booth software and third party devices. But if your primary goal is video, Panasonic absolutely SPANKS everyone else on that, .... even some full frame cameras that cost thousands more.

[@adamshaikh8856]

I love these types of reviews where they actually take their time and answer most peoples questions. new sub!!!

[@stevengold]

Love that you explained your experience with both cameras, pros & cons, instead of numbers or specs

[@justafrenchkidtryingtospea9462]

Yes this is what makes this review good

[@mychalsimmons4177]

You didn’t show us any footage....that’s the bottom line which footage out of the box is cleaner,sharper, richer

[@FitsandFun]

That all depends on what lens you use, what settings you like, etc. I can make one look awful and one look great with just a few tweaks to the settings. With these camera's its ALL about the lens and the user.

[@FitsandFun]

If you want footage than watch my video comparison, again, this is a hands on comparison. Your expectations for a free video on KZbin should line up with the title.

[@BenSohlberg]

@@FitsandFun just show us footage with both cameras kit lenses... then we see what we are getting out of the box, not what we could get with other lenses...

[@indrajithmr3713]

By far the best equipment comparison. He took the time to show through the viewfinder.

[@57Carlibra]

G7 has a mode on the top dial called SCN which would allow a beginner to select 24 preset modes. IMO, just as simple as the Canon system.

[@aimeecute4216]

Simply put, G7 is a good camera. Very good still and video quality, and very easy to use with many professional features

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Pretty good comparison of the two, thank you

[@kellyswank]

Thank you so much for this video. I kept debating on buying either the T7I, the Lumix G7 or the SL2 and this really helps.Definitely not a useless comparison like other would say in the comments it really helped me out a lot.

[@kellyswank]

@@QuizWave594 The quality of the G7 is great honestly. My inital comment was 3 years ago and i haven’t even thought of switching brands or anything. So if you want a good start up camera I definitely recommend the G7.

Did you have the LIve View Mode set at 60fps on the G7? I don't notice any image lag at that setting.

[@3kingfan3]

Love how you showed the difference between mirror less and DSL thanks very informative

[@PaleHROse]

[@FitsandFun]

Yes, it's a solid all around camera.

[@zoeybortes9256]

Thank you.

[@peepers4763]

Did I miss it? Did you switch / are you switching to the Panasonic? I like the EVF - could you see the camera settings through the EVF or only on the back screen?

[@FitsandFun]

+PAUL JORDON No chance that I'm switching! I'm all Canon, it's what I started with, and I'm loyal to a fault with brands for some reason. As for the EVF, it looks amazing and yes it does have all the exposure settings. However it is not perfect, it lags at times, stutters at times, and I found myself preferring the actual real view the longer I used it. I'd rate the G7 about a 7 and the T7i a 9. But I'm trying to grow my channel and learn as much as possible, so I figured I could kill 2 birds with one stone by borrowing this camera again.

[@Ash-vi8jm]

Yes! Thank u so much for this video! Really helped me see what I can never properly look at in store and reading online is not the same thing. Thank you again!

[@caniborrowsomecash2073]

Great information bro...keep it up!

[@LIBICU812]

Panasonic has been making cameras and lenses for Hollywood cinematography for 60+ years and now they've partnered with Leica for the lens construction so it's a double win for half the cost. The Panasonic camera and lenses are much lighter and easier to carry around for hours at a time. Try shooting an 8 hr wedding/reception with the Canon and you'll be crying for body muscle aches for days afterward. Don't be afraid of the Micro 4:3 sensor as the Panasonic advanced technology matches that of a full frame sensor.

[@ajfowler4606]

Does the canon shoot RAW?I’ve had bad experiences being a “1080p” camera, and the true value is 720.

[@FitsandFun]

Yes, it can shoot raw. And video is true 1080p. Up to 60fps.

[@subatomica5669]

+James Cummings with ML you can shoot RAW on certain Canon DSLR models.

[@FitsandFun]

No clue on that one. Sorry. I'm still waiting to get my first drone. Hopefully this summer.

[@sinjon]

It really depends. Sony has better autofocus for vlogging, but Panasonic is a smaller form factor, the lenses aren’t quite as expensive and no overheating issues that many Sony cameras have. Both have 4K and shoot very good quality video. Panasonic also has the flip-out screen which is pretty much essential for vlogging as you can frame yourself and see if you’re in focus. There’s a trade off with each

Man... For someone biased this was a pretty unbiased review! Def was feeling this video.

[@chrisarmond6723]

Thanks for doing this! Let's say I'm was the market to purchase camera for my social media business. Why would one prefer a mirrorless over the DSLR?

[@FitsandFun]

Mirrorless are smaller and they show the image in the viewfinder exactly how the picture would look. Also they can usually take photos completely silently. However they typically have shorter battery life, some overheat, typically don't have as many lens options without getting an adapter. I prefer the live view viewfinder and larger camera body.

[@chrisarmond6723]

Ah, I can see that. DSLR it is. Keep the reviews coming.

[@ajiardiles]

super clear comparison. thanks for this video

[@AyoToine]

so does the panasonic not make the shutter noise because you have it on silent mode?

[@FitsandFun]

+Antoine Yetts I'm pretty sure it's just like a cell phone, you just turn the shutter sound on or off. Because without the mirror that needs to spring up and out of the way on a DSLR, I don't think there is an actual shutter sound naturally, I believe it's a completely added sound just for effect. I think.

[@ARNABOSS]

Which camera do you recommend for straight shooting video's

[@FitsandFun]

+Richy Rich I like the Canon better for video and photo. Canon has a much better auto focus. Actually I thoroughly enjoyed using the Canon more in every aspect. Just a totally different feel and experience in my opinion. And the battery life was really lousy on the Panasonic, at least the one I use.

[@KingLeBronTv]

Fits and Fun hey thanks for the reply does th cannon shot in 4k

[@FitsandFun]

+Richy Rich No, 1080p@60fps is the max.

[@KingLeBronTv]

Fits and Fun now I'll be honest this will be my first camera. I'm going to use it for my podcast and I want to start shooting music videos any other cameras I should be looking at. By the way you 100% get a sub from me thanks for the help

[@FitsandFun]

+Richy Rich I think every company has a solid option for under 1k. Sony, Panasonic, Canon, maybe not Nikkon for video. Canon's SL2 has almost identical video options and quality as the Canon T7i and is a few hundred cheaper. Honestly, I've spent 3x more on my lenses, the lens ultimately determines the picture quality. And Canon seems to have by far the most options out there.

[@antonsv1781]

Great review, sir

[@johnbhome2]

I took the cheaper option and bought the SL2. There are other differences between the T7i and the SL2 with the 9 versus 45 AF points being significant but you can always hit the live view button with the DPAF. I must admit I was kind of impressed with the Panny G7. This is the first comparison I have seen that shows the difference between mirrored and non mirrored. I especially liked the silence when shooting. Thanks for a great video showing the difference between mirrored and non mirrored.

[@FitsandFun]

+John Blomeling The Panasonic just didn't feel right in my hands, the grip was to small, and I constantly hit the focus ring when I was trying to zoom. I'm not sure if I just got overly familiar with tje Canon, but I definitely like shooting with the Canon way more. Not even close. With that said, considering the G7 is 2 years old, it still is a great camera at a great price. Crazy it's 2 years old and still one of the only 4k with flip screen in the price range.

[@TheJulioGulio]

@@FitsandFun You should never be shooting in Manual Focus, Hence why the focus grip ring is disengaged when it's in AutoFocus. Most professional photographers never use MF unless they are shooting landscapes. The quality of images on the G7 come out 1000× better then the T7 when properly used... T7 technology is old in comparison to the G7 even though it 2 years older. Canon just kept pushing the same tech back then but they wised up.

[@FunkyMonk_96]

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. I think I’m going to sell my Canon Rebel T7 and get a LUMIX G7. I feel like the quality doesn’t look too good, I don’t get the same image as I’m seeing, and the settings are too frustrating to use. The G7 looks easier to change settings and better quality since it has 4K. Also less bulky.

[@Lepewhi]

Another important difference is, sensor size. APSc vs m4/3.

[@dicksonhoang]

Thanks for video sir. To me Cannon t7i is the best camera both for images and video quality !

[@BMH1965]

Way too many dials on top of the the G7, and what all are those 'Fn' buttons?

[@FireImageFM1]

You was not in auto mode on the T7i there are some options in full auto mode

[@allgoo1964]

Olympus saw the future of current mirrorless trend a decade ago. I think the full frame fever is a temporary trend and eventually will settle with smaller sensors. Current full frame market share is only 10% for professional and they are jumping ships. Current full frame fever is supported by the consumers who don't have experienced with full frame before. They'll find out advantages and disadvantages of full frame eventually, like pros did before. Unless you make large prints regularly and shoot under low light all the time, the cost(and having no return for the investment) and the bulk of carrying will eventually get to you.

[@cubswincubswinao]

Man I hope so.. full frame video is weird it’s not cinema...

[@jcolt84]

The more research I do to try and find the perfect camera for me and my wife, the more confusing it gets, and the more I'm likely to just give up. I do appreciate videos like yours, but I have a really difficult time making decisions, and on top of that I'm OCD as hell! I almost just wish someone would take my money from me and purchase whatever camera they believe to be the correct one. I take a lot of portraits of my daughter, so portrait capability and bocah are extremely important to us, and video capturing capabilities are definitely important as well. My wife and I have gotten away with using our cell phones, (pixel and iPhone) to capture our families videos and photos up until now, but we want the capability of printing larger photos. As it is, we can't print photos taken with our cell phones, above about a 6"x7" for example.

[@shemarcollier3457]

Fam you can go into photo more and use the view finder of course the mirror is tucked away during video otherwise it would be in the way when your shooting

[@BMH1965]

At 07:50, you contradict your answers to posts in the comments when you discuss the problems of using the lens. This is not the first video I have seen you contradict yourself.

[@FitsandFun]

Yeah, I never claimed to be perfect.

[@mgr5550]

I was using my new G7 yesterday for the first time, Couldn't get to adjust shutter speed or aperture while shooting ! Tried fiddling around and in one particular mode i could adjust the shutter speed and aperture but it was having no effect on the video. Whatttttt !!!! So perplexed. Im having to use it like an auto point and shoot. Coming from years of canon DSLR usage, you always had full control during pre-shot and during the recording also. Also the shutter speed didn't want to go beyond 1/250. All this in video as im only interested in video. To top it all off this camera shoots video in all mode dial positions too and in what seem to be photo modes too. This means each of these modes offers different kind of control over the video ?

[@sdhute]

Trying to debate on the g85 or the T7i. The Panasonic is now offering a 3 year warranty upgrade. Just worried about the auto focus on the Panasonic. The glass is also cheaper for the cannon. However I think the dslr mirror market is going to become a thing of the past for hobby to semi pro.

[@FitsandFun]

I didn't like the mirrorless experience at all. I prefer live view through the viewfinder. Hopefully I'm not alone, I'd hate to have only mirrorless options.

I currently own the G7 and I'm about to sell it. I think that 4k is overrated. A 4 minute long 4k video creates a 1.4GB file! That is insane! Yes, there's so much detail but honestly who's gonna be recording homemade movies in 4k. I do agree that the camera is more than just the sum of its parts. It's a classic. At least as an amateur, I use my smart phone camera more and take good enough photos with it. I might end up getting Sony a6400 or 6600 at some point. I think the bigger sensor does make a difference. Then again, if you go that route, then why not step up to full frame. The problem with any electronic devices is that in a few years they become outdated.

[@paulbreland6444]

EVF makes it possible to track motion through eyepiece, like sports, or ENG, while shooting video. However, a larger screen, even an external monitor, really is better for shooting pre-planned versus on the fly footage. You can only stare through that tiny eyepiece for so long.

[@FitsandFun]

The EVF gives a preview of the photo/video. So if you shoot manually or are using a large aperture lens, it lets you see exactly what the photo/video exposure is. For auto shooters it really isn't very helpful. So there is actual value to it, but I still prefer a standard view finder. Just my personal preference.
