Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G7KEB-K Professional Camera with 14-42 mm lens - Black

As an owner of the Panasonic G6, I was a little worried that I wouldn't find the upgrade worth it. On paper, the improvements aren't massive unless you really want the 4k video. And I guess this is the 'killer' feature. As it happens I really like it. The dual control dials make this a much easier camera for anyone who is used to owning a pro spec DSLR to switch to. I found the G6's single command dial a pain to use. The solid feel of the dial is so nice I find myself spinning the dials just for fun. Sad I know! High ISO performance has been improved. Out of the camera JPG's look pretty clean at ISO 6400 and RAW's I applied a dollop of noise reduction in post. Still very usable given the sensor is way smaller than a full frame Nikon D750 I am used to. The AF seems spot on and I don't feel like it's slow. And of course with this being a CSC, Panasonic have given us a truly silent shooting mode. This came in so handy at a recent wedding where I could discretely take photos without anyone even hearing a click. All in all I really really like the G7 and I feel like it's been a good value upgrade from the G6. This will be ideal as the camera I do video work with and use for stills on family outings.

Didn't know the camera game was so expensive, but for its price being considered a "budget" camera, this camera is actually amazing and has produced amazing footage with the right settings. Would recommend. Only downside is that because this is the EU version, the firmware has been set to only allow for 50fps at 1080p and not 60 or 120fps at 1080

Great camera, Very good at picture quality and amazing at videos. If you are getting this camera, the main reason should be for videos. The pictures are great but the main purpose of the camera is for 4k videos.

The classic G7 Stream setup. My review is not going to be like most others and not for how the camera is originally intended. In fact I have no idea how good or bad this product functions as a camera. I am using this device as a webcam/video input channel for live video feed on my pc. If you’re reading this review and want to do the same thing here’s what you need: Elgato cam link A high quality 4K hdmi to mini hdmi, I recommend blue rigger A proxy battery, one that works from being plugged in to the mains power. I forgot the name of the product, just search G7 mains battery and it’s a little power cable and adapter unit for a bunch of lumix cameras. Now that you have that set up I can talk a little about the camera. I’m very impressed given its age how well this camera holds up. It’s an incredible way to affordably get clean 4K video stream. I have to play around with the settings to see if I can enhance things like the auto focus. Unless of course the auto focus of this camera is just weaker than the higher range cameras which I see pro steamers using. All in all I highly recommend this camera, I recommend it as a webcam/video recorder. For photographs you will have to read another review, but for incredibly high quality footage at an affordable price I believe this camera to be one of the best, if not the best at its price point. It can compete with cameras costing over £200 more than itself. Throughly impressed

The feeling of quality has gone from LUMIX cameras.

My first serious camera. I'm happy with the features and video quality, so far it has been up to any task. I don't have any term of comparison, because this is my only camera but I give it 5 stars as it is up to my expectations. It is stylish, small and light the batteries run for hours, the LCD is perfect, the menus are complex but full of options and possibilities. The only big con for me is the fact it doesn't have headphones output. I should mention that the mic input also works well as line input, which means you can connect the line out of your external audio recorder into the mic input of the camera. When doing this, I recommend to set the gain on the camera to the minimum -12dB so it won't clip, at the same time it reduces the noise floor of the pre amplifier. Last note concerning audio, the internal stereo mic of the camera is surprisingly good, incredible for internal mic. Concerning the lens 14-42mm, so far so good, it is very versatile. Later I can get a Olympus 9mm and the Panasonic 45-175m to cover all ranges.

The camera handles like a sports car and has a very good EVF but shutter shock can be an issue with some lenses and unfortunately the bundled kit lens is affected. Switching to the electronic shutter cures the shutter shock issue but can give rolling shutter effects and can also display banding under artificial lighting and for these reasons the camera can be unusable in some situations when the mechanical shutter may give shutter shock affected images and when the electronic shutter may give unwanted rolling shutter effects or shot ruining banding. How and why Panasonic bundle this camera and lens together I just don't know and I can only recommend this combination to people who know exactly what the issues are and are ready to accept them. All in all I'm pretty disgusted and will think very carefully before buying any new Panasonic cameras or lenses.

Fabulous camera for stills and video! Matched with a focal reducer vintage fd lenses and a fluid head monopod you have yourself a professional 4K setup for absolute peanuts! The results speak for themselves! Are there better 4K cameras tgat can also shot great stills....yes! But not close to the price point of this ! Add on the £100 cash back I received and this is just incredible!

OK Malgré que il m'ont livré une prise Britannique, l'appareil est un bijou.
