G7 also has the advantage of 4K and wireless operation built in with the free Panasonic "Image App." Straight out of the box G7 can be controlled remotely with any smart phone or tablet and can transfer files wirelessly without removing the SD card. The Canon can do some of these things, ( except shooting 4K ), with an additional device, the Alpine Labs "Pulse". It is also Eye-Fi compatible. "PictBridge" is an advantage the Canon has over the Panasonic. The optional battery grip on the ( T6i ) with THAT camera makes it possible to use either the Li-Ion rechargeable batteries or "AA" batteries. DSLR's have a significant advantage on battery life over mirrorless, .....like 3 to 4 times longer. And lastly, the Canon can be interfaced with a much greater variety of things like photo booth software and third party devices. But if your primary goal is video, Panasonic absolutely SPANKS everyone else on that, .... even some full frame cameras that cost thousands more.
Thank you so much for this video. I kept debating on buying either the T7I, the Lumix G7 or the SL2 and this really helps.Definitely not a useless comparison like other would say in the comments it really helped me out a lot.
@@QuizWave594 The quality of the G7 is great honestly. My inital comment was 3 years ago and i haven’t even thought of switching brands or anything. So if you want a good start up camera I definitely recommend the G7.
@@kellyswank . I make travel cinematic video.. It will good for that? because I get information that g7 has bad auto focus... Which one is good according to you canon m50 Or g7?
That all depends on what lens you use, what settings you like, etc. I can make one look awful and one look great with just a few tweaks to the settings. With these camera's its ALL about the lens and the user.
If you want footage than watch my video comparison, again, this is a hands on comparison. Your expectations for a free video on UA-cam should line up with the title.
@@FitsandFun just show us footage with both cameras kit lenses... then we see what we are getting out of the box, not what we could get with other lenses...
Yo thanks for the video, im looking to get into photography and i really knew nothing about cameras and this video is helping me out with that. Im leaning towards the G7 so thank you. great video
Folks this is a hands on comparison to show the basic differences between these two similarly priced entry level cameras. NOT AN IMAGE OR VIDEO COMPARISON VIDEO! I have other videos that compare side by side video/images. And multiple video sample videos. Thanks!
Yes! Thank u so much for this video! Really helped me see what I can never properly look at in store and reading online is not the same thing. Thank you again!
I took the cheaper option and bought the SL2. There are other differences between the T7i and the SL2 with the 9 versus 45 AF points being significant but you can always hit the live view button with the DPAF. I must admit I was kind of impressed with the Panny G7. This is the first comparison I have seen that shows the difference between mirrored and non mirrored. I especially liked the silence when shooting. Thanks for a great video showing the difference between mirrored and non mirrored.
+John Blomeling The Panasonic just didn't feel right in my hands, the grip was to small, and I constantly hit the focus ring when I was trying to zoom. I'm not sure if I just got overly familiar with tje Canon, but I definitely like shooting with the Canon way more. Not even close. With that said, considering the G7 is 2 years old, it still is a great camera at a great price. Crazy it's 2 years old and still one of the only 4k with flip screen in the price range.
@@FitsandFun You should never be shooting in Manual Focus, Hence why the focus grip ring is disengaged when it's in AutoFocus. Most professional photographers never use MF unless they are shooting landscapes. The quality of images on the G7 come out 1000× better then the T7 when properly used... T7 technology is old in comparison to the G7 even though it 2 years older. Canon just kept pushing the same tech back then but they wised up.
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. I think I’m going to sell my Canon Rebel T7 and get a LUMIX G7. I feel like the quality doesn’t look too good, I don’t get the same image as I’m seeing, and the settings are too frustrating to use. The G7 looks easier to change settings and better quality since it has 4K. Also less bulky.
I like the build quality of the Panasonic I like the styling urbanomics of the Panasonic over the Canon I like the weight of the Panasonic and I do love the menu system once you get used to it it's a snap I just love that viewfinder in the Panasonic I like I like to Panasonic much better thank you for sharing
Panasonic has been making cameras and lenses for Hollywood cinematography for 60+ years and now they've partnered with Leica for the lens construction so it's a double win for half the cost. The Panasonic camera and lenses are much lighter and easier to carry around for hours at a time. Try shooting an 8 hr wedding/reception with the Canon and you'll be crying for body muscle aches for days afterward. Don't be afraid of the Micro 4:3 sensor as the Panasonic advanced technology matches that of a full frame sensor.
Be careful here. I had a G7. Focusing is contrast detect only. Hunts on focus and is poor for video. Loved the camera as long I was using manual focus on event shots on a tripod. Lousy on continuous focus events as it is contrast focus only. I have the Canon SL-2 and it smokes the G7 focus engine. The T7i is using dual pixel AF too. Do you need 4K to share on UA-cam? Maybe, maybe not. I don't. 1080p is fine. Lens support is superior on the Canon too with 70 Canon lenses to chose from. How many for the Panasonic? And for MFT they are pricey. 3rd party support is a Canon win too. Image quality in stills are reasonably close. In video the Canon will hold focus way better than the Panasonic will. If you can live with the contrast only focus engine, cool. Look into a speed booster for low light and fast glass.The MFT is middling in low light. The APS-c Canon and Nikon cameras have more dynamic range too. Outdoor street shooter with plenty of light will love the G7. Video at a well lit venue or outdoors, get that ND filter for the too bright sunshine, and the G7 is a mini GH5, kind of. But no means count the Canon out. It is about systems not just the camera body by itself. I loved the interface of the G7. Best yet! But allot more is going here than some cameras on a tripod and looking through the viewfinders, and looking at some menus. I agree with you they are tools for sure, but both are viable. Depends on how you understand their strengths and liabilities.
I'm not sure why this video strikes such a nerve with people. These are still entry level cameras at entry level prices. The video, like my channel, are for total beginners who are looking to get into photography/videography. Have you watched any of my other videos?
Vincent Chen i use my G7 with manual cine lenses. The quality is up there with the GH4 and GH5. Also about the lens support. The G7 can take any lens you throw at it with the propper adaptators. I mounted my full frame vintage lens from olympus and get stunning results from that. It will mount almost any lens out there that is MFT or bigger. The connon lens support is laughable in comparison.
The more research I do to try and find the perfect camera for me and my wife, the more confusing it gets, and the more I'm likely to just give up. I do appreciate videos like yours, but I have a really difficult time making decisions, and on top of that I'm OCD as hell! I almost just wish someone would take my money from me and purchase whatever camera they believe to be the correct one. I take a lot of portraits of my daughter, so portrait capability and bocah are extremely important to us, and video capturing capabilities are definitely important as well. My wife and I have gotten away with using our cell phones, (pixel and iPhone) to capture our families videos and photos up until now, but we want the capability of printing larger photos. As it is, we can't print photos taken with our cell phones, above about a 6"x7" for example.
+Bruce Kirby All the settings on screen? I'll have to double check, I don't remember ever seeing all the settings that the Panasonic shows on screen on the Canon.
It really depends. Sony has better autofocus for vlogging, but Panasonic is a smaller form factor, the lenses aren’t quite as expensive and no overheating issues that many Sony cameras have. Both have 4K and shoot very good quality video. Panasonic also has the flip-out screen which is pretty much essential for vlogging as you can frame yourself and see if you’re in focus. There’s a trade off with each
Olympus saw the future of current mirrorless trend a decade ago. I think the full frame fever is a temporary trend and eventually will settle with smaller sensors. Current full frame market share is only 10% for professional and they are jumping ships. Current full frame fever is supported by the consumers who don't have experienced with full frame before. They'll find out advantages and disadvantages of full frame eventually, like pros did before. Unless you make large prints regularly and shoot under low light all the time, the cost(and having no return for the investment) and the bulk of carrying will eventually get to you.
Trying to debate on the g85 or the T7i. The Panasonic is now offering a 3 year warranty upgrade. Just worried about the auto focus on the Panasonic. The glass is also cheaper for the cannon. However I think the dslr mirror market is going to become a thing of the past for hobby to semi pro.
I didn't like the mirrorless experience at all. I prefer live view through the viewfinder. Hopefully I'm not alone, I'd hate to have only mirrorless options.
Fam you can go into photo more and use the view finder of course the mirror is tucked away during video otherwise it would be in the way when your shooting
Mirrorless are smaller and they show the image in the viewfinder exactly how the picture would look. Also they can usually take photos completely silently. However they typically have shorter battery life, some overheat, typically don't have as many lens options without getting an adapter. I prefer the live view viewfinder and larger camera body.
Did I miss it? Did you switch / are you switching to the Panasonic? I like the EVF - could you see the camera settings through the EVF or only on the back screen?
+PAUL JORDON No chance that I'm switching! I'm all Canon, it's what I started with, and I'm loyal to a fault with brands for some reason. As for the EVF, it looks amazing and yes it does have all the exposure settings. However it is not perfect, it lags at times, stutters at times, and I found myself preferring the actual real view the longer I used it. I'd rate the G7 about a 7 and the T7i a 9. But I'm trying to grow my channel and learn as much as possible, so I figured I could kill 2 birds with one stone by borrowing this camera again.
I was using my new G7 yesterday for the first time, Couldn't get to adjust shutter speed or aperture while shooting ! Tried fiddling around and in one particular mode i could adjust the shutter speed and aperture but it was having no effect on the video. Whatttttt !!!! So perplexed. Im having to use it like an auto point and shoot. Coming from years of canon DSLR usage, you always had full control during pre-shot and during the recording also. Also the shutter speed didn't want to go beyond 1/250. All this in video as im only interested in video. To top it all off this camera shoots video in all mode dial positions too and in what seem to be photo modes too. This means each of these modes offers different kind of control over the video ?
Cannon is way better for video plus when shooting video it becomes mirrorless that's a big difference!! Also it does a great job for photos and with a dual sensor that's a major plus.
I currently own the G7 and I'm about to sell it. I think that 4k is overrated. A 4 minute long 4k video creates a 1.4GB file! That is insane! Yes, there's so much detail but honestly who's gonna be recording homemade movies in 4k. I do agree that the camera is more than just the sum of its parts. It's a classic. At least as an amateur, I use my smart phone camera more and take good enough photos with it. I might end up getting Sony a6400 or 6600 at some point. I think the bigger sensor does make a difference. Then again, if you go that route, then why not step up to full frame. The problem with any electronic devices is that in a few years they become outdated.
+Antoine Yetts I'm pretty sure it's just like a cell phone, you just turn the shutter sound on or off. Because without the mirror that needs to spring up and out of the way on a DSLR, I don't think there is an actual shutter sound naturally, I believe it's a completely added sound just for effect. I think.
EVF makes it possible to track motion through eyepiece, like sports, or ENG, while shooting video. However, a larger screen, even an external monitor, really is better for shooting pre-planned versus on the fly footage. You can only stare through that tiny eyepiece for so long.
The EVF gives a preview of the photo/video. So if you shoot manually or are using a large aperture lens, it lets you see exactly what the photo/video exposure is. For auto shooters it really isn't very helpful. So there is actual value to it, but I still prefer a standard view finder. Just my personal preference.
At 07:50, you contradict your answers to posts in the comments when you discuss the problems of using the lens. This is not the first video I have seen you contradict yourself.
+Richy Rich I like the Canon better for video and photo. Canon has a much better auto focus. Actually I thoroughly enjoyed using the Canon more in every aspect. Just a totally different feel and experience in my opinion. And the battery life was really lousy on the Panasonic, at least the one I use.
Fits and Fun now I'll be honest this will be my first camera. I'm going to use it for my podcast and I want to start shooting music videos any other cameras I should be looking at. By the way you 100% get a sub from me thanks for the help
+Richy Rich I think every company has a solid option for under 1k. Sony, Panasonic, Canon, maybe not Nikkon for video. Canon's SL2 has almost identical video options and quality as the Canon T7i and is a few hundred cheaper. Honestly, I've spent 3x more on my lenses, the lens ultimately determines the picture quality. And Canon seems to have by far the most options out there.
+TechnoPel that would be the Samsung Galaxy s7 edge. Shot 1080p@60fps I think it was at 60fps. Either way, awesome camera, I love it. I think the camera in this model actually comes from Sony.
thank you for the reply...this is the most detailed and informative comparisons on youtube....btw i went with the canon 200d as it seemed to offer great value for money
Again I find a great video of yours. Remember my question about de clean HDMI output on the T7i? well, the G7 is the Lumix option I said was better for what I wanted; it will output a clean image in video mode while the Canon will maintain all the control symbols. Kinda sad because I like the specs and ease of use better on the T7i, but that one detail completely ruins it for me. Canon needs to step up their game, live setups are increasing and Panasonic is leading the way.
I have other videos to compare footage. Complains about free video without looking through other videos, dude, it's a channel, we post multiple videos.

Simply put, G7 is a good camera. Very good still and video quality, and very easy to use with many professional features
G7 has a mode on the top dial called SCN which would allow a beginner to select 24 preset modes. IMO, just as simple as the Canon system.

I chose DSLR
which camera is cheap n best for video shooting and song shoots
its all preference.. and im just not comfortable with putting a screen to my eye.
Canon AF is superior to anything out there. Closest thing to Canon is a Sony. Lumix “hunts” quite a bit.
so what the lens that you use in this video on G7?!
Way too many dials on top of the the G7, and what all are those 'Fn' buttons?
I got the Panasonic G7 last month and i don't like it much, the menu is bad like Sony. I will get Canon t7i to see

You sure complain a lot considering these are free videos. Do you need something? Have a question? Whats up with you?
You was not in auto mode on the T7i there are some options in full auto mode
Cannon is way better for video plus when shooting video it becomes mirrorless that's a big difference!! Also it does a great job for photos and with a
dual sensor that's a major plus.
That is exactly the opposite. Cannon is a DLSR. The Panasonic is mirrorless.
I currently own the G7 and I'm about to sell it. I think that 4k is overrated. A 4 minute long 4k video creates a 1.4GB file! That is insane! Yes, there's so much detail but honestly who's gonna be recording homemade movies in 4k. I do agree that the camera is more than just the sum of its parts. It's a classic. At least as an amateur, I use my smart phone camera more and take good enough photos with it. I might end up getting Sony a6400 or 6600 at some point. I think the bigger sensor does make a difference. Then again, if you go that route, then why not step up to full frame. The problem with any electronic devices is that in a few years they become outdated.
I’m just wondering as a beginner and not knowing any of this. is the G7 good for doing UA-cam hauls and photography
Yes, it's a solid all around camera.
Thank you.
I have a canon 80d and a Panasonic g85. The canon's Auto focus is far superior to the Panasonic.
tvlover81 that's a nice combo but when you are using manual focus how is the video?
leonard powell the video is excellent when manually focusing
Exactly, u can use G7 for stationary videos. Canan is good to make short videos or movies
Does the canon shoot RAW?I’ve had bad experiences being a “1080p” camera, and the true value is 720.
Yes, it can shoot raw. And video is true 1080p. Up to 60fps.
+James Cummings with ML you can shoot RAW on certain Canon DSLR models.
so does the panasonic not make the shutter noise because you have it on silent mode?
+Antoine Yetts I'm pretty sure it's just like a cell phone, you just turn the shutter sound on or off. Because without the mirror that needs to spring up and out of the way on a DSLR, I don't think there is an actual shutter sound naturally, I believe it's a completely added sound just for effect. I think.
The LUMIX G7 has a touchscreen...
Hold on, hold on , do I freak'in
have to bring back my Kodak -
instamatic X-15 back ? Orrr , due you prefer the Polaroid 1 step ?
This would be better if you had compared Canon DSL to Canon Mirrorless.

When I made this video in 2017 Canon didn't have a Mirrorless option.
I still dont get the point of an EVF... just a second screen, same as live view.
TechnicIAN in sunlight, its hard to see the display, thats the main reason for the view finder
TechnicIAN there’s no mirror too
EVF makes it possible to track motion through eyepiece, like sports, or ENG, while shooting video. However, a larger screen, even an external monitor, really is better for shooting pre-planned versus on the fly footage. You can only stare through that tiny eyepiece for so long.
The EVF gives a preview of the photo/video. So if you shoot manually or are using a large aperture lens, it lets you see exactly what the photo/video exposure is. For auto shooters it really isn't very helpful. So there is actual value to it, but I still prefer a standard view finder. Just my personal preference.
T7i is a beast....
At 07:50, you contradict your answers to posts in the comments when you discuss the problems of using the lens. This is not the first video I have seen you contradict yourself.
Yeah, I never claimed to be perfect.
Which camera do you recommend for straight shooting video's
+Richy Rich I like the Canon better for video and photo. Canon has a much better auto focus. Actually I thoroughly enjoyed using the Canon more in every aspect. Just a totally different feel and experience in my opinion. And the battery life was really lousy on the Panasonic, at least the one I use.
Fits and Fun hey thanks for the reply does th cannon shot in 4k
+Richy Rich No, 1080p@60fps is the max.
Fits and Fun now I'll be honest this will be my first camera. I'm going to use it for my podcast and I want to start shooting music videos any other cameras I should be looking at. By the way you 100% get a sub from me thanks for the help
+Richy Rich I think every company has a solid option for under 1k. Sony, Panasonic, Canon, maybe not Nikkon for video. Canon's SL2 has almost identical video options and quality as the Canon T7i and is a few hundred cheaper. Honestly, I've spent 3x more on my lenses, the lens ultimately determines the picture quality. And Canon seems to have by far the most options out there.
Pls tell me what you used to record this video.... Its crisp!
+TechnoPel that would be the Samsung Galaxy s7 edge. Shot 1080p@60fps I think it was at 60fps. Either way, awesome camera, I love it. I think the camera in this model actually comes from Sony.
thank you for the reply...this is the most detailed and informative comparisons on youtube....btw i went with the canon 200d as it seemed to offer great value for money
looks like canon DSLR is easy enough for Americans to use Panasonic bit too complicated for Americans lol
Again I find a great video of yours. Remember my question about de clean HDMI output on the T7i? well, the G7 is the Lumix option I said was better for what I wanted; it will output a clean image in video mode while the Canon will maintain all the control symbols. Kinda sad because I like the specs and ease of use better on the T7i, but that one detail completely ruins it for me. Canon needs to step up their game, live setups are increasing and Panasonic is leading the way.
This is great review for the rest of us.
Have two cameras side by side, talks for almost 20 minuttes, doesn't show any side by side footage....Dude, it's a camera, it films and take photos.
I have other videos to compare footage. Complains about free video without looking through other videos, dude, it's a channel, we post multiple videos.
If samsung make a camera.. i think they will have an advance screen hahahaha.. superAmoled 4k screen maybe? 😂
O-H...
Foto= Canon
Video= Lumix G7
G7 vs 800d - LOL 16mp vs 24mp. M43 vs APSC. - - No contest -
Canon is more real
just a useless comparision about two different systems and two different approaches.
^Approaches
just a useless reply, like the comparision mr. professor.
Ask for your money back. Enjoy your day
A little biassy aftertaste in this unbiased review. 😂
It's not a review, just a hands on comparison.
they're both just tools. they both do the same thing
G7 the Best camera of the world. Guys you save so much money AND good quality . I have Booth but Trust me g7 going forward !!!
How's video quality in g7? I am very confused.... I want to make cinematic video... Which camera you recommend in low price?
