Panasonic Lumix GH7

[...] I admit that it felt strange; the first times using the GH7 : It is so good, so feature packed, that it felt like the final MFT camera, the end of a chapter. [...] After a year, not disapointed, build quality and reliability is top level. [...] Doesn't sound so bad at all with 2Tb drives+enclusing costing around 185 euros.

Hey, I really like the cool video. Today I bought a GH7. I'm really hyped about the camera, especially because it's an update from a G81 xD

[...] Since 2017 up to now I have been using the GH-5 , and was so impressed with this camera for video shooting. For the time, it was a very capable camera in the field. Now it has come time to upgrade & update. I am very excited about this new GH-7. I do look forward to your full review of the GH-7 when you have it ready.

I have been reading previous comments about your slow-mo shot. [...] Laughing out of control each time and yet shedding a tear for each slow-mo moment. [...] Awesome camera! I am glad to see Panasonic make a slam dunk with the GH7. God willing all other camera makers could match similar specs and features on their full frame hybrid cameras. [...]

[...] Having this level of storytelling for a camera review is actually insane The visuals are mind-blowing: the color grading, the models, the lighting... [...] I clicked out of curiosity, I mean, who talks about the GH7 these days? [...]

[...] What allowed me to enjoy the moment was the very nice image produced by the camera. The Panasonic GH7 seems to be a very capable camera and I really liked the app with LUTs and most importantly, LUT sharing capabilities. [...]

I bought it, and the image is better than I expected.. [...] It's one thing to review a camera, But it's another to actually use it on regular bases on high-value productions to learn the pro functions of the GH7 takes time, useful chats.. Features that never appear on the more expensive Brands that Gerald & co seem to favour, (No malice intended), just careful consideration after viewing Gerald's otherwise fine analysis. But here is a practical differences that makes the GH series cameras superior in terms of button lay-out functionality, Features (waveforms, Luts/ Arri colour matching, codecs, great microcontrast images using Lumix' own lenses (I/C/W leica) some 10+ Lmx features that are yet to appear on Sony, Canon, Fuji, Nikon, BM .. [...] I don't seek money from you tube, but if I had time I would make a comparison of Panasonic vs any other Brand (that cost up to double of the GH7), and have those judged by a bunch of experienced directors of Cinematography. I would like to see Gerald setup a scene with actors and shoot it with a bunch of Cameras S, C, Fuji, Nikon and then compare.

Good video, one thing I will say is I shoot on the Lumix g9 ii and the camera is exactly the same internally as the gh7. I have a friend who shoots on the gh7 and the only difference we have found is the body design, the battery life (g9 ii is better), and the cooling fans.

I own the Olympus OM:D E-M1 Mark II as my primary camera. It's quite capable and can be had for a great price. [...]

It's 2026 and late 2025 FF camera releases finally caught up. So yes, the camera is still worth it in 2026, especially for long form videos. I sold mine dirt cheap to buy the S1II. [...] I liked the GH7 way more than the S5IIX. Low light performance between those two was super close in my results.

[...] they are both good cameras, but I still personally love the GH series and I’m planning on getting a GH 7. [...]

[...] I had a GH5, GH6 and GH7 for multicam shoots. But last fall I sold my GH5 on eBay and bought an S5iiX on Black Friday at a great price tax-free at B&H. [...] I got the following L-mount lenses. [...] I absolutely love all these lenses and it's fun to have that FF bokeh and low light performance when needed. My GH7 with 35-100 weighs 43oz and my S5iiX weighs 42oz with the 28-200. When they came out with that 28-200 is when I decided to get the S5iiX because I like lighter cameras and lenses. [...]

I just look at how Sony, Canon and Nikon cameras get updates, if they ever get it. Back in the day I had a Nikon D7500 and it has got one update in it´s entire existance. [...] Of course, they are focusing more on fixing the issues on the S line, since it needs quite a few twerks at the moment, specially regarding the overheating problems. As a GH7 owner, the one thing that I agree is the false color, all the rest I think can be done in post. [...] I think the GH7 is a solid camera right now, so they moved on to the ones that need more urgent updates. [...]

Best GH7 review I've seen to date. That 32 bit audio is impressive. [...] But for me, that AF speed alone is worth the upgrade from a GH6.

Theses are the most beautiful footages I have ever seen on a camera review !! [...] I am thinking about getting the GH7 right now, as a photographer. I know the G9II seems like the logical choice but I prefer the body and ergonomics of the GH7 way more than that of the G9II. [...]

[...] I feel like we don’t need much more at the moment being that the GH7 pretty much has it all but you still get that sense of this might be the end for MFT. My GH7 is my A cam even over my S5iix it just feels more full and professional, although my S5iix excels in two others areas I still prefer my GH7. [...]

[...] But you have to be really confused if you pick a MFT of the shelf for almost the same amount of money instead of Lumix S5 Full Frame. The GH7 is even bigger the S5. [...]

Just a warning, if you heavily rely on AF, GH7 is not going to suit you. [...] and with almost the same money you can get an FX30 or a ZV-E1. [...] I would recommend GH7 mostly for journalists who travel a lot and they need a small professional powerhouse with a light weight setup or universal 2 in 1 zoom lenses like 14-140 (28-280 FF Equiv) or 12-100 (24-200 FF equiv). The strong side of GH7 is IBIS. [...] Big disadvantage of GH7 is Lumix engineers don't give it enough attention, i mean there are so many caveats which could've been fixed in the past 2 years just by firmware update and software patching but nothing was really done. The app for syncing the camera with your phone have issues with pairing and connection. [...] And looking on my GH7 performance i have doubts on the capabilities of its bigger brother S1II in terms of AF and Subject Recognition.

The one camera that I will always be sad about and think about lol... Former GH3 owner, GH4 owner, GH5 owner, GH6 owner.........then jumped up to the S5ii and never bought a GH7. I love the S5ii, still have it but have upgraded again...but I always still think about the GH7, and "what if ?" lol. [...]

i love my gh7. its a fanstastic photo camera, no matter if i shoot sports or models and its a fantastic video camera. the only thing missing is open gate slomo and i dont understand why lumix does not do anything with firmware we did not even get false color other lumix cameras got via firmware update. [...]

[...] I have some nice adapted vintage lenses that I try to use on my GH7 but the camera holds me back by locking me with that error message. [...] So cool that the GH7 is getting some attention in the shadow of the new lumix cameras.🙌

I looked at my gh7 and asked myself I wonder if there's any 1 year later vids? And to my surprise just 10 hours earlier this masterpiece was uploaded WOW!

[...] I’ve been using my GH7 for corporate run and gun stuff for a year now and it is an amazingly powerful and underrated tool. I still use my GH5s when I’m shooting in low light - the dual base iso is the only thing I really miss. The focus, open gate, ibis and 32 bit float audio makes shooting impromptu interviews and event footage painless on the GH7.

Thanks so much Nathan for having me back on the show - always love talking to you and can talk for hours about my GH7 setup. Still love this camera in 2026 and have no plans on changing anytime soon. 🙌🏻

😊Thank you. I look forward to using my GH7 for years to come.. Im glad that there are people who love this camera like me.

just an amazing video. thank you so much. I own a GH7 and this gives me increased appreciation and belief in it every time I watch.

I feel so stoked to use my gh7 more and more after watching this masterpiece of a review. [...]

This has to be the most thorough and best demonstration of the gh7 online. [...] Are you still using the gh7 or have any other work I can see please? [...]

[...] Definitely getting the GH7 😊

[...] One thing, I would have loved to see your opinion on the Lumix Lab integration in the GH7 as well. The GH7 supports a lot of the features that we’re introduced by Lumix with the release of the S9, although, it doesn’t have the lite codec. [...]

[...] The GH7 could very well bring me back to Lumix. [...]

[...] It's always helpful to get a variety of input on the GH7, because there are so many options. [...] Fellow GH7 user here and long time Panasonic user since the (first consumer 24p) DVX100A camcorder series all the way through HVX, HPX and GH2-7 (with GH6 I think first prosumer 4k 120fps, correct?). [...]

I have an S5II and happy with it but I love what Panasonic did here with the GH7. [...] What I would like to know is how the colors in the GH7 compare to the S5II?

Great walkthrough of your experience with th GH7. Since using GH4,GH5,GH5S and GH6 since they were released, I'm haven't had the need to jump onto the GH7 yet with my current use situations (Mostly indoors, office clips at work, combined with casual run and gun on my freetime/vacations. But I would love that Autofocus upgrade, no doubt!

I’ve been using the GM92 and no overheating issues. Hoping for a GH8 this fall?!!😂

[...] No, Jordan, you're not crazy for recommending m43 and the GH7. [...] The GH7 is simply a pinnacle for Lumix right now. [...] I will now decide whether I need high end video features and go with the GH7, or "reasonable" video features and get the G9 Mark II, as my son did. [...]

I have GH7 too and use it for talking head by shooting V-Log. [...] Skin tones look much better on the GH7 IMO. If I got the lighting and white balance right, I almost don't need to grade the V-Log footage except for color space transforms.

I've chosen the G9II because I liked the body design more. But the GH7 is a beast of a camera and will be for many years.

Lumix Marketing should buy and use this as their sole campaign material for the GH7 which they seem to have forgotten. [...] I have G9ii was going to add a FF body but really feel drawn to the GH7 if on sale. [...]

I shoot live theatre, concerts and dance shows with multiple cameras. [...] I’ll be adding the GH7 to my wish list. [...]

Hi Aaron, what do you think about the GH7 now that ProRes RAW is natively accepted in Davinci Resolve? [...] I'm torn between this camera and the Nikon ZR, what do you think I should get? [...]

I haven't found it in the review, but do you have any work with the Voigtlander 10.5mm if you have used it? So curious how that one looks with the Gh7. thanks again.

[...] And with a GH7 in your hand as well. [...]

[...] Personally the GH7 has so many things I'd never use. Wouldn't justify spending 2k on the camera. Having the S5ii covers everything I need in a camera. [...] The Clog and whatever else comes with GH7 will never get me thinking I need it. [...]

[...] I am starting to believe Youtube reads minds and sends signals to youtubere's brains. [...]

with arri-logc3 can the GH7 take stills (not video) using arri luts with the arri-logc3 as the base? This is a question i couldn't find any answer on.
