The Panasonic Lumix G7 In 2024 -

[@girlsloveshein97]

Still got mine! Use it everyday but the autofocus sucks when you shoot in 4k! On another hand, AF is super quick when you shoot photos

[@triumph_cv]

Grats on getting reunited with the G7! G7 is my daily shooter. Damn fine camera. Light weight, easy menu nav, quality photos.

[@ranitakonar700]

Is it good for low-light photography too?

[@MiguelRodriguez-he1gd]

I tend to keep coming back to this camera a lot, it’s such a good camera

[@poojasarkar2300]

Which one should i buy canon r 100 or Panasonic lumix g7 kindly recommend

[@grantrobertdavies]

I've never used a Cannon r 100 - So I can't say :)

[@TedHallII]

The G7 rocks. Just bought one new. My old E300 was getting worn out. Not only are the new micro4/3 lenses amazing, but I've got the original 4/3 lenses too.

[@TomMcCormickGuitar]

The G7 was my first MFT camera as well. Helped kickstart my passion for photography and videography. Moved on from the GH5 and picked up the G9M2 in March. Sadly have to send it out for a silly warranty repair so I'm breaking out the ole trusty G7 while I wait for the G9II to arrive back from repair. Excited to push that little guy again like years ago!

[@grantrobertdavies]

Awesome!!!

[@Tobias_Re_Photo]

I use this camera for 2 years and im pretty happy with it, i shoot a lot of portrait photos with my favorite lenses from Sigma Contemporary line the 16mm up to 56mm and it works fantastic! Greetz from Germany

[@grantrobertdavies]

Yes they are nice lenses :)

[@asantelucas931]

The G7 is the Main Camera for My Podcast Studio - Clients cant tell its a 8yr old camera! And my second camera is an old Nikon d5300 in studio - Color actually matches without tweaking

[@EdmundPaddington]

I still use a first gen G1, I've shot more than 21,000 photos with that camera and it's getting a bit long in the tooth. I was thinking about getting a G7 and this video has confirmed my opinion. They're still available new in the UK, but reduced by £350. Bargain.

[@user-st3js8yf4x]

hey.. is g7 have an oberheating issue? for stream on 1-2 hrs, thx

[@grantrobertdavies]

I’ve never used it for streaming- so I don’t know sorry

[@HadjFilmz]

Is the g7 good for green screen filming

[@seanmccambridge]

Is that QOTSA playing on the screen behind you?

[@grantrobertdavies]

Yes 👍

[@InesInes-ql8ke]

Lumix g7 or nikon d5300 ?

[@InesInes-ql8ke]

I am asking

[@grantrobertdavies]

I’ve never used a Nikon D3500 so I don’t know

[@sc6015]

What lens is that man looks great!

[@grantrobertdavies]

Panasonic Leica 12mm f/1.4

[@Dominationindustries]

how much did you snag it for?

[@grantrobertdavies]

Just under $200

[@lowco413]

Hi! What do you think of the duration of the battery?

[@grantrobertdavies]

Yeah - pretty good

[@ztejstronymarcin]

G7 or sony zv-e10? For photo?

[@grantrobertdavies]

I've never used a ZV-e10 - So I don't know!!!

[@ztejstronymarcin]

@@grantrobertdavies I see. Is there anything new in general, priced up to $600, that is worth paying attention to? I don't care about movies, I only care about photos and that the camera has a zoom (not e.g. x60, but e.g. x4). I had the Sony ZV-1F for a few days and today I just packed this camera and sent it back, people on the Internet praised it like no other, but in fact, at this price, for me it is a device that is a maximum of 4/10.

[@coastrider8881]

I've got G80/85 and GX80/85 with same sensor than G7 plus amazing stabilization, pretty happy with both!!

[@sebietzakaria3881]

I take pictures of jewelry and accessories. I want high quality pictures. G7 suit me?

[@peacemakersx]

The G7 pretty solid for product photography.

[@erniehatt]

I have the G1 and the G7, love them both

[@lawrencelau2612]

How hard is it to get consistent shots without ibis? I'm a novice emerging into the hobby and the G7 is at a great price. Is it worth trading my canon rebel T7? (Slow AF auto focus)

[@grantrobertdavies]

I’ve never really had a problem :)

[@TheAwsomeman56]

I’m waiting for mine in the mail found one in like new condition for $299, I have 3 ef mount lenses a Canon 17-40 L f/4, Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 and a Tamron 70-300 f/4-5.6, so I’m gonna be using a ef to m4/3 adapter

[@dronesndstuff626]

You could think about throwing in a Speedbooster😊

[@thetwilightzone2541]

G7 was the best camera lumix ever made, lightweight camera embrace the spirit of 4/3

[@thetwilightzone2541]

Quick question when you make a profile for video it's impact the picture you will shoot too ?

[@thetwilightzone2541]

@@MrTranthelam I never try the canon 2000d but you can do good job for video and picture with g7

[@raizt1596]

The G7 was THE BEST camera for its time, but the G85 and G9 are both better. Now, with the release of the G9ii and GH7, we are back in Micro Four Thirds heaven with the fixed autofocus.

[@thetwilightzone2541]

@@raizt1596 but the weight is too big ...for me at least same as the price of micro four thirds compare to full frame

[@raizt1596]

@@thetwilightzone2541 Yes they definitely upped the weight a lot with newer cameras. GH7 is about twice as much as the old G7.

[@MillennialDiligence-sx8re]

Got a used G7 for 200 and use it as a webcam. Very pleasing 8-bit 4k video. People can't believe the quality with a 9mm f1.7 on there! The IMAGE app still works great on my iPhone and makes working as a one-man band so easy and intuitive. I like the video quality overall and the files are small and easy to edit. Alternatively, you can spend another 120 bucks and scoop a used Olympus 45mm f1.8 and have a killer portrait setup $$$ It's such an excellent entry point into the M43 system.

[@corykphotography]

Hey Grant, what is your opinion of the G95? Is it anywhere close to a G9 performance wise?

[@grantrobertdavies]

Mate - Not really sure :) I would say not that much difference - But I can't really say as I've never actually used one. But lots of people love the G95 :)

[@RavenWednesday]

would this make a great tiktok camera?

[@RavenWednesday]

also looking at the sony a6400

[@essiturbo]

Hi Grant! The actual good news is that a new mft cam is comming at 12 September.I think it is the new G9 MkII .

[@grantrobertdavies]

Awesome

[@sebastianligueno]

I agree with every reason you've given for the Lumix G7: I believe it has received bad publicity. The autofocus is quick, and if you have the camera up to your eye, you can additionally focus with your thumb on the screen, which is very convenient. As for the lack of in-body image stabilization, I don't see it as a problem, but rather a limitation that isn't particularly problematic depending on the type of photo. Regarding ISO, even though it loses some sharpness, it's very functional, and up to ISO 1600, I think it's fine: it's preferable to increase the ISO than to lift shadows later. You have a great 4K (I love the video quality). I'm saying all this after not having used the camera for a long time, and I've enjoyed it for its ergonomics and because it's very lightweight to carry around. I think you do need to know how to handle highlights, and on the other hand, it's very easy to accumulate dust on the sensor. Kit lenses are OK (flare is my biggest issue, but zoom lenses are fine )Thank you very much for your content. Greetings from Santiago, Chile

[@grantrobertdavies]

Thanks man :) Yeah, still a great little camera :)

[@NeoDon1]

Why No G9 Mark 2 review like others?

[@grantrobertdavies]

I don’t have one :)

[@snehithraju2085]

Which is best g7 or g85

[@grantrobertdavies]

both great … G85 probably a bit better

[@raizt1596]

G85 has everything the G7 has and more.

[@vermis8344]

I always thought the Panny image app was a bit sluggish connecting to the camera, but the UI is a dream compared to when I got an Oly and tried their equivalent app. 😰 You put forward a good case for the G7, but for my wildlife purposes I'd like a weeee bit more resolution.

[@sentosarunner]

Awesome video as usual Grant.... Just want your opinion as I'm now deciding to get either a G7 or GX9? Fyi, my other camera is the G85... TIA

[@grantrobertdavies]

I’d be inclined to go the gx9 - however the g7 is still a great option :)

[@thedarkslide]

I am waiting for the next iteration of the GH6 with phase detect to hit the market - that will dump a whole lot more GH6 and GH5 on the market and drop their prices - I might pick up a GH5 then.

[@grantrobertdavies]

Yeah - if that does happen - I think I’ll do the same and pick up a GH6 cheap :) Maybe an ex demo model and yeah the original GH5 will crash in price and be a bargain - Great camera 📷

[@ksnrich]

Honestly don’t know if I should be sad and regret buying a brand new g7 instead of sony a6400 😅 not really a fan of using g7 on night photography, low light really ruins the quality. Will try to enjoy using it though

[@grantrobertdavies]

Cool

[@raizt1596]

The GH7 is better than the Sony in every scenario except low light and autofocus. For night photography on the G7 you need a fast lens, one with an f1.4 or f1.7. There is the 15mm, 25mm, 42.5mm, etc.

[@jackoneil3933]

Thanks Grant, great reference, I just saw a g7 body locally for $200 and this was helpful

[@thehalfnavajo]

The G7 still rocks. Love my GH5 but on the go, my wife just points and shoots. It's the best cheater for great pictures

[@ravebrave8866]

I think G85 is better than this one..

[@grantrobertdavies]

Cool

[@raizt1596]

The G85 is definitely better, because it's just an upgraded G7. Both are cheap now, so get whichever you can get a good deal on.
