Panasonic
announced a new mirrorless camera G7. The latest G series model is well
featured for a good user experience. The camera bears a strong resemblance to
the recent GH4. It has a deep grip, very angular appearance and a more DSLR
like profile than other mirrorless cameras. There are all sorts of dials and
buttons strewn about the body of the camera. On the back the controls are very
similar to that seen in most of the Panasonic shooters.
The camera is provided with the hardware that
can keep up with the best of its micro four thirds lens system which probably
looks to be a pro feature. But it also has user friendly options. The control
scheme allows for a pro-style manual shooting experience with dual control
wheels, but the camera also has auto modes that allow even first time users to
pick up the camera and start shooting.
Packing
a 16-megapixel sensor, the G7 is capable of capturing full resolution stills at
8fps, as well as take 4K video at 30 frames per second. The G7 brings new features to complement its 4K recording
capabilities. Using one of three different capture modes you can pull 8 MP
stills from video. The G7 also packs an articulating 3-inch LCD that allows you
to shoot at extreme angles without skipping a beat. The on board wifi offers
easy sharing with smartphones and remotely shoot using your smartphone. If you
want to avoid a difficult password input to pair your devices, the G7 will
display a QR code to handle the process for you.
The
G7 will hit stores in mid-June with a 14-42mm kit lens for $799.99, or a 14-140
lens for $1099.99.
