Lumix GH7

The Lumix GH7 is a landmark camera for the GH series — the first model to feature phase-detect autofocus, ending years of contrast-detect limitations that held previous GH cameras back. Its 25.2MP Live MOS sensor captures 5.7K/60p open-gate footage and C4K/60p in 10-bit 4:2:2, with ProRes RAW output via HDMI for maximum post-production flexibility. A 75fps electronic burst rate covers demanding stills shooting, and the Dual I.S. 2 system (body and lens combined) delivers class-leading stabilisation for handheld video. The body is splash and dust-resistant with dual card slots (CFexpress Type B + SD UHS-II). For video-first Micro Four Thirds photographers, the GH7 is the most capable camera Panasonic has ever made in this format.

GearFrame's Take

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.
