Reviewers from techradar have found the following***:
The E-P7 puts in a very solid performance and produces some lovely images. It captures shots with an impressive dynamic range, while the all-purpose metering system does a good job of producing balanced exposures. The lack of a headphone and microphone socket, and the fact that the screen tilts from the bottom, don't make it as appealing as other video-orientated cameras like the Sony ZV-1.

Pros
  • Very good image quality
  • Great range of optics
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Screen tilts from bottom
  • No headphone or microphone socket
