FunSaver 800vs GH7
GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Parties, Festivals & Holidays — FunSaver 800: The original fun camera. Kodak 800 film gives warm, punchy colours with pleasing grain — especially with flash. Perfect for events and holidays.
Video & Documentary — GH7 (2024): The GH7 is the GH series at its peak — phase-detect AF finally arrived, alongside 5.7K/60p open-gate, C4K/60p 10-bit 4:2:2, and ProRes RAW. A landmark video camera in the Micro Four Thirds format, and the most complete GH Panasonic has ever built.
