Product details
  • Superb DSLM image quality without the bulk and weight of traditional DSLRs: The LUMIX G7's 16 megapixel sensor operates much like the larger sensors found in traditional DSLR cameras. The G7, however, also features a next-generation intelligent image processor that produces video and photos free from artifacts that degrade image quality.
  • 4K Photo Modes Three Ways to Get the Perfect Shot: The 4K PHOTO function includes three different modes, all leveraging the G7's 30-frames-per-second video capture rate. - 4K Burst, 4K Burst S/S (Start/Stop), and 4K Pre-Burst
  • 4K Video 4X More Detail Than Full HD: 4K Ultra HD video delivers a far more intense viewing experience when compared to Full HD, with 4X times the number of pixels.
  • Intuitive Controls: Featuring a retro modern design, the LUMIX G7 is smaller and lighter than traditional DSLRs, yet still provides intuitive, easy access to common functions
  • Fast and Precise Auto Focus Tracking: Intelligent auto focusing [AF] tracks the color, size, and motion vector of the subject, enabling quick and precise focus lock. So you'll shoot with confidence without worrying about blurry results.
  • High Speed Auto-Focusing with DFD Technology: The LUMIX G7 utilizes Panasonic's exclusive Depth-From-Defocus (DFD) Auto Focus (AF) technology* which instantly calculates the distance to subjects, then quickly adjusts the focus. Enjoy AF speeds up to 0,07 seconds and burst shooting speeds with Continuous Auto Focus [AFC] of 6 frames per second
  • Better Control for More Enjoyable Photography:
    Focus Peaking: A manual "focus peaking" color outline indicates the exact in-focus area along with depth-of-field distance.
    Silent Shooting: Wi-Fi With the Panasonic Image App and a Wi-Fi connection, you can control various functions on the LUMIX G7 using a smartphone or tablet device.

it's ok, honestly this has been out for over 6 years and surprised it isn't going for $400 now

Age in the camera world isn't really an indication on if it is good or bad. Also used camera prices have been going up over the past year.
·
I have a canon M50 which is nice and small but seems like Canon abandoned the EF-M mount so I'd like to move over to something small with zoom lens options. Not many players in the small DSLR space I think..

Would you be able to point me in the direction of a decent starter camera in the 5-600, range? Been thinking about getting my gf a camera for Xmas and have no idea what to look for in a camera.


Any suggestions welcome from anyone
Thanks.

This is a hard question because there are so many camera out there for different uses. What do you intend to use it for mainly? What is your price? What features? etc.

What is her main use for the camera? This is totally fine if she is leisurely shooting but not something for let's say weddings or sporting events. Honestly I prefer canon as they have a good, rugged feel and natural image. go for the canon rebel t7. it can be had for $450 with a basic 18-55mm lens.

I would suggest buying used for a starter camera. I personally grabbed a canon t5i off of Facebook. I wanted the swivel viewfinder for vlogging. But I wound up getting very invested with lenses, learning about taking better photos etc... If you can, try and find the shutter count... Although most people have a hard time knowing where to find the info. But do some research, save some money IMO

This is not very good if you mainly shoot still images rather than videos. No in-body stabilization, no weather sealing.

This is a pretty good cam I paid $900 years ago. I used it as a C cam after unlocking the unlimited time recording. I've made serious money with it shooting wedding video to event photography. I no longer use it for pro work.

The problem with the Panasonic cameras has been their auto focus, particularly when shooting video. I bought the G85, which is 1 step up from the G7, to use for twitch streaming. It works great as long as it's in manual focus.

Sometimes if I move forward or backward in my chair, it would try to autofocus and completely lose me, and "give up" which leaves me out of focus until I manually readjust. There are lots of YouTube videos on the issue and Panasonic refuses to fix it.
