Product Overview

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 is an affordable mirrorless camera in the Micro Four Thirds-mount system. Introduced by Panasonic in 2015, it comes with a micro four thirds sensor with 16 MP (4592 x 3448) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7's 7.0 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 comes with a fully articulated touch display and 49 autofocus points.
