GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Vlogging, Content Creation & Lightweight Travel — DC-G100D (2023): The lightest capable MFT mirrorless for vloggers — phase-detect AF, directional audio, and the full Lumix lens ecosystem under 350g.

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.
