Panasonic has announced the new GH7. The previous models were very popular with videographers, and the GH7 also looks very suitable for them. But as a photographer, you shouldn't overlook this camera either.

The Panasonic GH7 has a 25.2-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. According to Panasonic, you can capture 13 stops of dynamic range with it, but in terms of megapixels, you don't gain anything compared to the GH6.

The built-in image stabilisation can compensate for up to 7.5 stops.

For videographers

With the GH7, you can now record in Apple ProRes RAW and ProRes RAW HQ, directly in the camera. 4K video can be shot at up to 120 frames per second. Full 5.7K footage can be recorded at up to 60 fps.

For the first time, a camera also offers 32-bit Float Recording, meaning that audio recording levels don't need to be adjusted while recording. Handy, but you do need the optional new XLR microphone adapter. This DMW-XLR2 isn't cheap, costing 549 euros.

The GH7 can be connected to an external SSD for recording, but you can also record to the CFexpress Type B slot or the SD (UHS-II) slot.

Another handy feature is that you can load LUTs into the camera. They are then applied directly to the footage.

Price and availability

The Panasonic LUMIX GH7 will be available from mid-July 2024. The body will cost 2,199 euros. Including the Lumix G Vario 12-60mm lens, it costs 2,399 euros.
