Panasonic LUMIX G7 Mirrorless Camera with 14-42mm Lens (Black)

The Panasonic LUMIX G7 Mirrorless Camera with 14-42mm Lens (Black) is a true hybrid mirrorless camera kit that blends 4K UHD video with advanced still capture and burst shooting capabilities, pairing a capable Micro Four Thirds body with a compact, versatile standard zoom lens for a complete, ready-to-shoot setup.

At the core of the G7 is a 16MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor (17.3 x 13.0mm) paired with Panasonic’s Venus Engine 9 image processor, offering notable low-light sensitivity with a native ISO range up to 25600. Panasonic’s exclusive Depth-From-Defocus (DFD) autofocus technology instantly calculates the distance to subjects for fast focus acquisition, with 49 contrast-detection autofocus points and AF sensitivity from -4 to +18 EV. Continuous shooting reaches up to 8fps with single-shot AF (6fps with continuous AF).

Video capability includes 4K Ultra HD recording (3840 x 2160) at up to 30/24fps, along with 4K Photo modes that let photographers extract individual 8MP high-resolution stills from 4K footage, including 4K Burst (continuous capture at 30fps for up to nearly 30 minutes) and 4K Pre-Burst (capturing frames one second before and after the shutter button is pressed). The electronic front-curtain shutter offers speeds from 1/4000 to 60 seconds (up to 2 minutes in bulb mode), with a fully electronic shutter extending to 1/16000 second.

Handling centers on a high-resolution 2.36-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder along with a 3.0-inch, 1.04-million-dot free-angle (tilt/swivel) touchscreen LCD, both clear even in bright sunlight. Connectivity includes built-in Wi-Fi, along with 3.5mm and 2.5mm microphone and remote ports, USB 2.0, and a micro-HDMI (Type D) terminal.

The bundled LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. lens delivers a 28-84mm 35mm-equivalent focal range, covering wide-angle through short telephoto perspectives well suited to everyday and travel photography. Built from 9 elements in 8 groups, the lens has a minimum focusing distance of 7.87 in. (20cm), a maximum magnification of 0.17x, and built-in MEGA Optical Image Stabilization to help counteract camera shake, and accepts a 46mm filter thread.

Build quality centers on the camera body’s compact design, storing images on SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards (UHS-I/UHS-II compatible) with a Supersonic Wave Filter dust-reduction system protecting the sensor. The G7 uses the Micro Four Thirds lens mount, giving it access to lenses from Panasonic, Olympus/OM System, and other Micro Four Thirds alliance manufacturers.
