First time using a micro 3/4 camera. Bought mainly for personal work and it was a great price on Black Friday, came with 2 lenses and shoots 4K video! So far so good love that it’s so light and easy to use. Highly recommend this camera!

Good camera for shooting videos
Pros:There are a massive amount of settings on this camera.The extended manual is a 411 page beast and extremely well written.Most of my filming is done in my office with ceiling fan lights.I've seen videos saying that the iso setting is for fake light whereas I think it is a throwback to the film iso rating when I was shooting with film. For instance in the 1970's I was shooting with film that had an iso rating of 25 or 160. I still have my Gosen Light Meter from back then and I find it is still useful today.This camera enables you to set the color temperature of your light source.This camera is far superior to the camcorders which do not have interchangeable lenses.The learning curve on all of the various settings is immense, but it is a great upgrade and worth reading the manual.The attached video I took while bike riding with my wife. through the park and here is a flash photo in my living room.Cons:The only complaint I have is that this camera cannot run from a USB power source and charge the battery while operating the cameraDetails:4k Videos:ffprobe produces:[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x5f94a6ae3e00] st: 0 edit list: 1 Missing key frame while searching for timestamp: 15015[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x5f94a6ae3e00] st: 0 edit list 1 Cannot find an index entry before timestamp: 15015.Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'P1000020.MP4': Metadata: major_brand : mp42 minor_version : 1 compatible_brands: mp42avc1 creation_time : 2024-05-03T14:39:36.000000Z Duration: 00:01:51.61, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 93603 kb/s Stream #0:0[0x1](und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuvj420p(pc, bt709, progressive), 3840x2160 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 93459 kb/s, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 360k tbn (default) Metadata: creation_time : 2024-05-03T14:39:36.000000Z vendor_id : [0][0][0][0] Stream #0:1[0x2](und): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 125 kb/s (default) Metadata: creation_time : 2024-05-03T14:39:36.000000Z vendor_id : [0][0][0][0]This is the first time I saw missing Key or missing index.The important thing is that SAR (Saved Aspect Ratio) is 1:1 which is good whereas I have seen the SAR and DAR (Display Aspect Ratio) out of sync on some camcorders.

For the nitty gritty on the camera itself, do what I did - spend obscene amounts of time reading/watching reviews ;-) There really is no other camera like it at this price point right now. I almost sprung for the GH4 (4k video is really important to me), but as many reviews will tell you, the G7 actually does a tad better in low light - certainly with noise levels. For HALF the money! If you want a killer 4k video rig especially for low light work, the G7 is what you want. Yes, it's not a magnesium weather sealed body, but it actually is really well made (polycarbonate) and feels great. The light weight was off-putting at first after years of DSLRs, but I've gotten used to the G7 and wouldn't trade it for all that weight and bulk!
One other thing: I originally got the smaller kit lens version but returned it for the larger one (14-140). The zoom range on the smaller one just isn't much, and the larger lens will do just about anything all in one lens. Between that and Panasonic's excellent 45mm F1.7 ($350), I'm set for everything I need. So there you have it - amazing piece of gear!

Best bang-for-the-buck 4K video shooter on the market - WOW!
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2016
I do absolutely LOVE this camera, with one minor caveat: GET THE BLACK VERSION. I originally bought the silver one because it looks sharp - very classy especially with the knurled metal knobs (they are NOT plastic as some have claimed). However, in many lighting situations, it's just about impossible to read the icons on the knobs because it's white-on-silver. See attached pics. Also, the silver finish of the camera body is smooth and feels like plastic; on the black version the finish has more of a metal flake texture and just makes the camera look and feel more "pro." And of course the knobs are MUCH more readable on the black version.Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2016

Got my camera today and I am so happy with it. The 4K shots allow me to capture beautiful short clips and pick which moment is the clearest/happiest etc. Additionally, the manual focus has an option to zoom in on the subject on the screen to make sure the smallest details are in focus. The photos are attached were taken today - camera right out of the box without reading instructions. Mushroom photo was taken with manual focus and cat photos were automatic. Additionally the camera is very lightweight and can be used with one hand if you're just taking automatic focus photos. Highly recommend!

Probablemente la mejor cámara por el precio. Lumix G7 vs Canon Rebel T5i.

Principales diferencias entre la G7 y la Rebel T5i:
TAMAÑO Ganador: Lumix G7 - La G7 es mirrorless por lo que es mas chica de tamaño y mas ligera . Ademas usa sensor micro cuatro tercios por lo que los lentes son mas compactos comparados con los de la Canon.
CALIDAD EN FOTOGRAFIA Ganador: Lumix G7 - Usamos tanto la Canon T5i como la Lumix G7 para tomar fotografia de comida y creemos que la G7 es mejor que la T5i por la viveza de los colores. El unico punto negativo de la G7 es que las fotos son en tamaño 16MB y las de la Canon T5i es de 18MB.
CALIDAD EN VIDEO Ganador: Lumix G7 - La G7 graba en 4K por lo que no hay punto de comparación. En video la T5i no tiene nada que hacer contra la G7.
FUNCIONES EXTRAS: Ganador: Lumix G7 - Aun no termino de descubrir al 100% la camara, pero hasta ahora he visto dos funciones muy practicas que no tiene la T5i. La primera es foto en 4K; basicamente te permite grabar pequeños clips de video y de ahi sacar fotos 4K de excelente calidad de 8MB. Y la otra funcion es la de timelapse: se pueden crear los efectos de timelapse muy fácilmente.
FACILIDAD DEL SOFTWARE: Ganador: Canon T5i - Quiza es porque aun no me acostumbro al sistema de Panasonic, pero se me hacia mas facil el sistema Canon. Pero igual aquí es cuestión de acostumbrarse.
Creo que las camaras Reflex ya van de salida. Si vas a comprar una camara te recomiendo una mirrorless. Y si estas comparando entre la Canon T5i y la Lumix G7, te puedo decir con seguridad que la Lumix G7 es mucho mejor. Tiene mas funciones y podrás grabar video en 4K.
