LUMIX GH7 Review – A Closer Look at One of Our Cameras of the Year (CineD)

CineD published a closer look review of the Lumix GH7:

The Panasonic LUMIX GH7 camera is a great option for anyone who needs versatility. On top of that, if you are filming nature, take full advantage of the Micro Four Thirds sensor. Meaning that one can travel with smaller zoom lenses and achieve the same focal length on the tele side as going with larger sensors, cameras, and larger lenses. I only wish a special addition, LUMIX GH7, for nature lovers (bird watchers in particular), would someday find its way to the market. I’m seeing too many people schlepping around much heavier cameras and lenses from other brands, unaware of the advantages of working with a Micro Four Thirds sensor camera.

If you are a full-time news cameraman or a solo documentary filmmaker, you will also learn to appreciate the 32-bit float XLR DMW-XLR2 audio module. Running and gunning with a camera that allows you a safety net in audio recording is a welcome thing. Last but not least. I hope future versions of the GH family of cameras will look more modern and stylish. Yes, we don’t make our purchasing decisions based entirely on looks, yet a nice-looking camera might feel nicer in our hands.

For all the budget-minded photographers out there you’re in luck because there are several interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras you can get today for under $100. I tried only grabbing those I could consistently find for $100 or less, but do keep in mind prices fluctuate a lot. The best thing to do is be patience. Pick the camera or two or want, put in search alerts and wait for the best deal. If you’re impatient, you will pay a premium ;)
