- General
- Brand: Panasonic
- Model Number: DMC-G7KS
- Product Name: G7 Mirrorless Camera with LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II ASPH./MEGA O.I.S. Lens
- Color: Silver
- Product Set: w/ 14-42mm Lens
- Camera Model Family: Panasonic G7
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CCD (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm)
- Image Resolution (Display): 4592 x 3448 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): AVCHD, JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Still images: 1/4000 - 60 sec., up to 2 min. (bulb); Motion pictures: 1/16,000 - 1/25 sec.; Electronic shutter: 1/16,000 - 1 sec. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/3.5 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/5.6 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
- Maximum ISO: 25600 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
- Brightness Control: false (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
- Shooting Modes: 10 (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Panorama Mode: true
- Scene Modes: Clear portrait, silky skin and more (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
- White Balance Modes: Auto, daylight, cloudy, shade, incandescent, flash, white set (1 - 4), color temperature (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 16 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Micro Four Thirds
- Lens Type: Standard Zoom
- Minimum Focal Length: 14 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 42 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
- Lens Series: Panasonic Lumix G (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)
- Lens Model Number: H-FS1442AKA
- Flash
- Flash Modes: Automatic, Forced, Red-eye reduction, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
- Integrated Flash: true

- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Screen Resolution: 1040K dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
- Viewfinder Type: Optical (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Viewfinder Magnification: 1.4 times (The measurement of the apparent size of the image in the viewfinder compared to how it would be seen with the naked eye.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: false
- HD Movie Mode Focus: Automatic

Near Perfection
After doing a fair amount of research (both by camera enthusiasts at BestBuy and from youtube bloggers) I decided it was time to trade in my Nikon 1 J5 towards the G7. I am quite happy with the transition. The camera has a little bit of a learning curve (many functions and customization). Once you nail down what buttons are what, setting up the shot through the electronic viewfinder is a dream. The touchscreen is super fast and responsive. My primary use is videography and night time photography where my previous camera struggled. The G7 does super well in various conditions and I really enjoy its size - just small enough for basic portability, and big enough to do force you to frame your shots. I did get a mic attachment and several magnifier attachments to do macro nature photography. While the body is mostly plastic, the form factor is lightweight yet durable that it strikes a good balance in quality confidence. I've attached a couple of test shots I took.

Remarkable quality and features for its size
My other camera is a Canon 6d with a 24-105mm L lens, so I have a goos basis for comparison. The image quality is truly outstanding, given the size of the sensor. The things you can do with this camera are amazing. Video is, of course, excellent. It is kind of a perfect grab-n-go alternative to my Canon. Also, it is very easy to use alternative lenses. Very satisfied. By the way, I returned a Sony A6000 because I could never warm up to it. I think that the Sony cameras are very overpriced given the quality and features they offer. Trendy, for sure, but way overrated and over priced.

Great camera!
A really nice camera for the price. Granted, I got it on sale but it's done the job and done it well! I love the features, the quality, the size and weight, etc. I take both photo and video and it nails both.
