    First Pro YouTuber Camera

    Awesome starter DSLR, would recommend specifically to a YouTuber looking to take their picture quality up a step. Auto-focus isn't great. Picture is awesome and all other automatic functions are great; you could know nothing about cameras and probably get the image/video quality you're looking for. Hard to beat for the price. Average battery for this price range; buy a second. Don't believe a wall battery adapter that is made by Panasonic exists for this model.

    The Little Powerful Camera

    The amount features this camera has is overwhelming for someone who loves video like me. I was in the market for a good video camera and this exceeds expectations. It will take some getting used to but I love it after using it for a few months. I recommend you watch reviews, look at sample footage, and view sample images to see if it suits you but for an entry level price with great 4k video this is very good.

    I read and watched a lot of reviews before buying this camera. I was debating between this and the canon T6i. I was upgrading from a canon T3 which was really showing its age. I thought at less than $500. The G7 was a bargain. The camera has nice build quality and feels nice in the hand. The dial buttons are laid out pretty well. I found the kit lens great, but very awkward to use because it is so small. I found the menu system way too over complicated and the amount of options was a little overwhelming. The video quality was great right out of the box. But I bought it for mainly taking pictures. And for a the most part taking them in auto. For me the pictures were a huge disappointment. I did a few comparison shots with my iPhone 7 plus and canon T3. They were both better than the shots from the G7 . Especially in low light. I ended up returning the camera and getting the T6i which does exactly what I want.

    Still learning everything about this camera. I do like that it is lightweight. Just wish I knew more about how to get some of the features to work better. For example, if there is a button to zoom in or out on the camera. Or which version to use for nighttime. I will need to read the manual.

    Having experience with both traditional and digital cameras, I was looking for something a person with o only digital experience could grow with. I was impressed to find a camera that has a point and shoot price, with at least the most important settings that a more traditional camera requires. Well done. With knowledgeable staff, and a nice selection, I walk away from Best Buy happy

    this camera is amazing, by fat the best camera for the price, the lens it came with is very versatile. This camera has so many functions, yet its small enough to just carry every where. i love the built in wifi so i can easily send images/videos straight to my phone and it keeps the resolution. Takes clear images and crisp videos. shoots 4k!

    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

    Don't get me wrong, but I wasn't expecting a Panasonic digital camera to be as good as a Canon (my current one). However, this one got me wrong. This is an outstanding camera. The 4K video is of real good quality. Light-weight, bluetooth enabled etc. Perfect bang for the buck, you won't be disappointed.
