    I have bought a G7 a month ago, and I was really impressed. Love this camera

      I bought it 10 months ago, selling the Sony which I didn't like at all, I LOVE this camera, more comfortable and functional menus, decidedly better photo quality, videos on par, spending 500€, G7+5 batteries+rode rycote, best deal EVAH

    I had a bad story with the Sony zv-e10 last year and only 8 months after purchasing it I sold it and got the G7, I spent half of what I spent on the E10, and I went to better, audio management better than light years better than Sony, more lenses, lighter and the camera is easy to carry, however in terms of photo quality they are +- on par, the menus of the G7 are much more effective, and you have more simplicity to change the parameters, I spent €500, and I received the G7, 5 extra batteries, a rode rycote and a 14mn-140mm Lumix, shortly after I bought a Manfrotto and an nd filter, almost completing the setup, now I intend to take a smallrig cage, some handles to be able to attach a spotlight (rightly a continuous light for videos), the microphone and a flash to be able to use this camera for a long time to come

    Updated my Olympus E300 kit to a Lumix G7 a week ago. Got the kit lenses and the 42.5 f1.7 prime. The full kit and bag, including extra batteries and two chargers, weighs about what the E300 and a 50-200 f2.8 weighs.
    With a full featured adapter, all my 4/3 full sized lenses are still usable.
    I'm enjoying photography again, my phone camera is amazing, but a dedicated camera is a whole different critter.

    I got my G7 for below $200 in perfect shape, with no signs of use and small shutter count. This is also my second G7, I sold the first but it's so good that I bought it again :)

    Love my G7 when I am hiking or backpacking a long distance. My G9 is far superior for photos & videos, but sometimes I need the compact & lightweight G7 on my adventures. The G7 was my workhorse until I bought my G9, and I sometimes feel bad for not using it more than I do.

    I just ordered one with the two lens bundle. I’m hoping to mess around with it more this weekend. So far it seems like a fun little camera.

    Great video, I have acquired 2 over the last few years each for a very reasonable price. Love using them.

    Yes, a good camera. And it is still available brand new for around £500 here in Britain.

    I just recently thought about what MFT camera I would recommend to someone starting an interchangeable lens system. And to me it would be between the G7(70) and the G8 (81).
    Nice video.

    I got my G7 years ago as B-cam for my GH4 because my Ollie E-M5ii could not do the job. Put bluntly, Olympus cannot shoot video, its a sensor cooling issue. The G7 is more like a pre-shrunk GH4 with no Body-IS and pop-up flash but give it a Power-OIS lens and it is well stabilised with all but the longest lenses. The GH4 itself is still a great camera and can do a few video things better than the G9. The G7 is certainly as capable and equivalent to the E-M5ii. The G7 is superseded by the G80, the G9 is a very different animal.
    Whilst the G7 is still available new, it has practically no trade-in value, and so you will find used at rock-bottom prices. Up to £300 UKP vgc, beware the cheapest broken ones.
    For me that pop-up flash, something of an afterthought these days, is very useful for fill-in. Apparently the G7 is well liked for talking head vlog as you are doing, just stick it on a tripod and off you go; no it can't run and gun like a G9. The follow-focus can be a bit sticky and will try to remain focused on the head but you can turn that gubbins off so it will refocus on the hand.
    Given a choice between G7 and G100, I'd go G7 as the better camera (not just cheaper).

    I recently picked up the original LX100 and really enjoy to use it. I'm thinking about picking up a GX8 soon. I'm currently waiting on a Nikon APSC camera with IBIS.

    • @jeffslade1892
      @jeffslade1892 5 місяців тому

      The GX series runs GX7, GX8, GX7ii=GX80, GX9. Whilst only 16Mp the G7 Mark 2 (Japan) GX80 may be the better camera in the hand as it builds on the popular GX7 with better IBIS

    I bought the G80 for travel a few months ago, brilliant little thing and only £250 with box and low shutter count. 😮

    I have a love/hate with this camera. Only because i do rap videos and the autofocus really pisses me off with this camera lol

    Some might say I’m crazy, but I recently purchased a G7 and am going to put my Pen F on eBay. Don’t get me wrong, I realize the Pen F has some fantastic features, and I love the retro style. But I just don’t see any difference in I.Q., and that’s what it’s all about for me. I’m hanging on to my lenses…Leica 25mm f1.4, Pany 20mm f1.7 and Pany 14mm f2.5. I think they will pair well with the G7. Your thoughts?

    Before the Safe and Effective Bizzaro Era, you could pick up a G7 with two lenses for $600 Canadian, or about $440 USD.

      I just picked up a new one with that kit for 499. I am an Olympus fan but that graphite silver model came in stock and I splurged. I’m never going back I get that black magic camera if I keep blowing money 😂.

    Any reason why my footage/pics are grainy I have the right iso ss aper but still grainy. I see other people’s videos with it and it’s so clear. Can you do a vid on that?

    These slightly older Panasonic cameras are absolute bargains for the ones who know. Here in the UK on MPB the G7 is going for £225-£295. Most Pana models are relatively inexpensive, with the exception of the tiny GM1, which occasionally turns up, they ask good money for it (£400+) and they evaporate within a day. GX9 commands good coin, but the warhorses (e.g. G9, GH5) are flying bargains. There is a trend for all smaller 'boutique' models to trend upwards in price, especially Fuji's, all older ones in XE, XF, X100, sort of range commanding quite silly money. Olympus Pen F has vanished completely, probably people joining the dots and figuring OM System won't risk releasing a v2 so they are being snapped up by aficionados and collectors. A man with priorities could just buy a G7 and take his family on a nice holiday with the money saved;-)

    is this still a good camera for video/UA-cam? i read that it has autofocus issues

    • @grantrobertdavies
      @grantrobertdavies  5 місяців тому

      It’s still good - but if your looking for rock solid autofocus - go a Sony a6400

      problems with the autofocus, yes and no, in low light it has a few problems, but nothing major, I use it as a webcam for streaming, the autofocus goes a long way when you show a new subject (like I show a small object that I have in my hand) when I put it away it doesn't focus on the face, just touch the screen, or lightly press the cursor and the autofocus does not cause problems, furthermore if you use manual focus you never have problems

    Uuuuu^hhhhhh a used gx80 is just 250/300 bucks. Better with ibis. Just no cined and v
    WHAT I HATE the most of the g7 is you cant do external monitoring while recordkng internal sd card. I cant understand why they did this. Its just a firmware update to unlock it.
    Otherwise i still have this cam among with more betger expensive cams.i just dont shoot with it anymore and more for a sentimental value.
