Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 Summary

Panasonic made a leap forward with the GX7. For the first time, one of their mirrorless camera offers built-in stabilization, opening photographic possibilities. They have also include the highest-resolution EVF possible, providing a crystal-clear and extremely usable view of the world.

The GX7 truly delivers. We cannot say it has the best image-quality but is certainly at the level where it only matters for large prints. Noise, color, WB are all good and metering is outstanding. Dynamic-range is one step behind, as is critical sharpness.

There is nothing serious to complain about in terms of performance. This digital camera is always quite responsive, has an instant shutter-lag with very short black-out and speedy autofocus.

The Panasonic GX7 offers an impressive feature-set which is suitable for most photographic needs except for very long exposures. Even using Bulb mode, it is limited to 2 minutes which is not enough to capture star-trails. This is of course a niche application and most photographer have more than needed in this mirrorless.

This mirrorless has access to the largest mirrorless lens lineup in the industry and its 2X crop-factor gives Micro Four-Thirds cameras an advantage in terms of total size compared to most mirrorless systems.
