    Unbelievable what they packed into this point and shoot. Lens is remarkable! Beats the kit lenses on the G7 hands down. Photo capabilities on par with G7 and GH4. 4K video on top of that. Focal length could have been better, but with digital zoom added on not too bad. Serves purpose. Price point high but totally worth it. A true professional point and shoot as a backup camera to my others without changing lenses. I love the styling and feel. Battery life good. Grabs focus soooooo well. Love it!

    Got this camera primarily for video projects, but discovered upon use that it places limits on the amount of video that can be recorded before it shuts off automatically. It does make great HD and 4K video and images, but the auto shutoff is annoying.

    Loving my new lumix g7! I know there are better out there but pricier. This one is just right for me as a beginner. Pictures and videos quality are great! Just need some adjustment.

    Be aware if you’re buying an open box

    I ended up returning this camera, first of all I bought it open box excellent condition, and it was missing the battery charger. After a lot of back-and-forth with Best Buy. Nothing was resolved, luckily I reached out Best Buy through Instagram and they were able to solve the problem. The reason for returning this camera is the Zoom quality. I got this to take pictures of my child support game, but I couldn’t zoom in to get good quality pictures. Therefore it was returned

      Hello there! We apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced with your unit. Since you purchased a open box unit without a manufacturing warranty, we can not ensure full operability of all its features. We are glad to know that you have resolved this successfully with the vendor! - F Panasonic

    I got this camera for my son-in-law as a birthday present prior to a trip. He came back with hundreds of beautiful shots. This camera has all the bells and whistles a beginner could ever want.

    Great budget camera and great for video! For the price it shoots in 4k and does great still shots. Not the greatest in low light but you can't have everything at this price point.

    This is my third more-or-less camera, at a very reasonable price, 4K video was unbelievable clear, I could use any M43 lenses with this little gem. Highly recommended if you want a semi-pro camera.

    I use 3 LUMIX G7’s for a 3-camera setup for my podcast and they work great. The user interface is simple and they’ve been very easy to use with my Elgato capture cards. The only minor complaint is battery life for long form videos. You’ll need to purchase a dummy battery if you use this camera to record more than an hour at a time.

    Great camera at a compact size. The micro four thirds lens system on the G7 produces clear and crisp shots. The 4k video is top quality as well. I would highly recommend this camera.

    This camera is an amazing value. It packs in so many features for the money it STILL puts recent mirrorless offerings from better known brands to shame.
