The GH7 is the best hybrid MFT-camera on the market if you look at the features. It has 25MP, the best hand held high res and pretty good DR for stills. It has a video performance that is better than most other cameras in the price range. It is an extremely reliable work horse for people who need to

Disclosure: I own the G9 II and shoot on GH7's and FX30's for work. I'm gonna have some bias towards the Panasonic offering so take this with a grain of salt. The G9 II is probably the closest you can get in the Lumix lineup at a cheaper price point. It's currently on sale at Amazon for 1.6k body on

No point for M43 to compete in areas where it's 100% losing out. Better to focus on it's strengths like portability and good enough image quality. As others have mentioned, once you factor in equivalence everything falls apart. Lenses like the 8-25 and 40-150 f4 are great examples that embody the M4

Honestly do we need a new M4/3 camera every single year? We are at a point where we really can’t improve cameras much more than they are. You can get great images out of pretty much any camera nowadays and unless you are shooting a high end movie, you can get great video out of the GH7 and G9II. To

This is my first system and I’ve been loving it over the past year and a half. It is a little stagnant lately, but with that said on the Panasonic side, they do have 2 incredibly powerful cameras at the top of the line. The G9ii (I have this) and the GH7 are incredible. The biggest gripe seems to be

Youll find eventually that you dont want a hybrid camera at all, because the ergonomics of a Photocamera is poor for shooting Video, and vise versa. Just get 2 diffrent cameras. Even the Lenses, you want manual ones for Video and automatic ones for Photografy. A good way for you might be a uses FX30

Very odd to buy the lens first. But each to their own. Here is the top end m43 from Panasonic: G9ii or GH7 One is photo centric (but has very good video options) and the other is video centric (but photography is just as good).

For the resolution and robust features, and it being the most recent m43 body from Panasonic, which means it'll get firmware updates for longer. I was initially considering a G9ii as well, but I didn't mind paying the difference for the GH7 to have the additional video function, CFExpress (which I u

I've bought too much to list over the years. What I've kept is a good mirrorless camera with a fast f-stop lens. I recently did a review of the Boya magic microphone and I'm switching over to that from a rode wireless Go II. The noise cancellation is really good. It's not a perfect microphone lackin

Popping in again, maybe you've decided already, maybe this'll help someone else with a similar question. After playing around with the footage I've captured from the GH7 and comparing it to my S5II, as well as an S1IIE I rented for another project, what I've come to is that in non-perfect situations
