But the digital menus should be really improved. I love this kind of stuff and I this little wheels for a fast switching.
BEST CAMERA 2015 REVIEW PROFESSIONAL
Like on a professional DSLR the LUMIX G7/G70 has a mode dial for switching between modes like Auto-Exposure, P, A, T/S and another dial for single image, Burst, 4K images, 2 different self-timers and even a timelapse movie. More about the display in this little movie: A really useful feature, not only for videos but also for photography. highlighting the areas which are in focus.
BEST CAMERA 2015 REVIEW MANUAL
In the manual focus mode the G7/G70 is providing a focus peaking on the depth of field – i.e. Secondly the autofocus always has the tendency of an unnatural refocusing or focusing on the background, when your object is moving. Just have look.īut after this first happiness I noticed, that manually focused videos look somehow more real and cooler. You can even do face tracking and continous auto focus tracking of moving objects.
After my experiences with shooting videos on a Canon 6D I was even more happy about the video autofocus options combined with a touch display like everybody knows from the smartphones. The LUMIX G7/G70 comes along with a big display. So editing options are limited (usually I do little correction on most of my pictures). You can only extract a compressed JPEG, but no RAW file. But I was sad when I later wanted to edit the image. Just watch the video and see how it works. How? You basically don’t shoot one still image, but a 4K video and when you are done you can select the best frame and extract it as a single 8 megapixel image from the little movie. That is where the 4K videos/photo suddenly make sense to me. With a LUMIX G7/G70 you can exactly do that. I whish to have not only one shot, but let’s say 30 to choose from. How many times did you take a group picture using the self timer, but in the very last moment, when the shutter is closing you are not there yet or somebody has just turned away when you here the “Click”. So the only real advantage at the moment for me is the freedom of cropping videos without loosing any quality. After the video editing I still export in 2k (1080p). They files are getting very big (600MB per minute) and I had to go and buy a faster and bigger SD card first (UHS Speed Class 3). First I thought “Why would I need 4K videos?”. The G7 is a compact camera with a 16 Megapixels resolution and one of the very few cameras on the market which can shoot 4K video (4096 x 2160 pixels resolution). So I was very happy when Panasonic asked us to test their newest compact camera: the Panasonic LUMIX G7/G70. They really start to become an alternative to the big DSLR cameras of Canon and Nikon and many of my friends are switching to the more little, more compact ones. Since a while I am observing the growing market of compact system cameras (DSLM).
Of course we agreed, because we love photography and traveling! Hands on a new camera. I was very happy when Panasonic asked us if we wouldn’t like to test the new Lumix G7 (G70 in Germany) on a little trip to Portugal.
