Solid image quality in both Raw and JPEG
4K (UHD) video
Built-in Wi-Fi with comprehensive set of features
4K Photo mode with clever pre-burst option for grabbing stills from video
In-camera Raw conversion for post-shot re-processing
Super-fast focus for single AF acquisitions
Impressive continuous AF and tracking with 6 frame per second shooting
Well-proportioned hand grip
Extensive external controls
Conclusion - Cons
Mechanical shutter causes some softness at around 1/100th exposures
Number of external controls make the camera seem more complex than it is
Dated Q.Menu is over-complex
Touchscreen control tabs leave the screen a bit cluttered (though they can be disabled)
Wi-Fi can be overwhelming and unnecessarily complex
Battery life quite limited for video shooting
Continuous AF performance not as good with Olympus lenses
Simplistic Auto ISO implementation

Thanks!
Just to note that the review was dated 7/6/2015.
Its wild how long the G7 has held its price, 2+ years ago this was actually somehow cheaper you used to be able to find them for like $350, but now that M43 is in high demand again. I got my GX85 during Covid for like $300 and now the prices started to skyrocket again somehow... Its not a bad camera and it does do 4K30 but it really is old, its a large body w/o IBIS. I really think the price should be lower, but you do get 2 cheap lenses.
I'd strongly recommend getting a used/grey market GH5 for this price of you can stomach buying something pre-owned. They are workhorses and are significantly better in every metric.

I have an Olympus m43 (EM10M3) and although its a great pocket camera, these small sensors really fall flat when there's not enough light.
