I'm filming almost all my videos with the Lumix G7 for my @altermore channel. I like this cam. From 2015 to 2023 this cam is still relevant. I buy my one I think I. 2020 and I'm pretty much happy with that. Because of your recommendation I want to buy a power adapter to use G7 for streams so thnx bro! 🙋🏻♂️
This is so great to hear! I’m glad I can help and I can’t wait to see what you film👏🏻
How do i use the camera as my webcam? In OBS
i do tell a difference, the g7 looks better than your cellphone bro
Thanks for all your G7 videos! Just got one and everything you have is so helpful!!
Glad you like them!
Actually wanted to tell you thank you. It was because of your videos that we decided to go with the Panasonic LUMIX G7. Once I shot the video for our 100 Subscriber giveaway I knew I made the right choice 110%. Wishing you much success this new year!
-Dave
Aww man this is so amazing to hear! I really glad I was able to help! I hope I can continue to create content to help you this year ! 🙏
Hello, thanks for this very accurate video ! I Bought my G7 in 2017 as a kind of "little brother" for my GH4, which job it did perfectly, most of the strategic gear and settings being the same, the images on both cameras were exactly the same, allowing me to shoot from 2 angles on a minimum budget. Nowadays I'm moved on to other cameras (I'm more into Nikon) but this G7 with the fantastic little 12-32 zoom is always in my pocket on most of my trips. With a minimal size and weight (360+80=440 g for the whole ! compare it with most of other cameras...) it is the perfect tool for improvised street photography, videos, family vacations, and so on. 6 years after I'm still very satisfied with it. All the best :-)
I just bought a G7 after using a 10 year old hand-me-down Nikon for several years and I couldn’t be happier. I’m a newbie to photography and videography and it’s definitely a bit of a learning curve but I feel I can get the hang of it pretty soon. I only have the kit lense and a cheap but surprisingly good microphone, but I imagine when I inevitably upgrade I’ll have many accessories for it. Looking forward to many years of great photos and videos!
Your videos are great!! Have loved using the G7 for years and have traveled with it everywhere. It does indeed stand the test of time! I am getting into Real Estate photography now and was curious which is the best AF/Metering Mode to get as much good resolution for entire rooms....'49-Area'? Also, I'll be shooting in 'Auto Bracket' and need three continuous exposures 2 F-Stops apart(1 under exposed, 1 normal, and 1 over exposed). I noticed when you set it for 3 exposures, it only allows you to set it 1 F-Stop apart, unless you increase the exposures to 5, or up to 7 exposures. I only need 3. Is there any way to shoot only 3 exposures 2 F-Stops apart? Thanks!
hi thanks for the review I have a question ive been using the panasonic fz1000 which is a bridge camera ,its a great camera but a bit bulky i use it mainly for videos on youtube and occasionally i use it out doors for photos my question is this is the g7 a good upgrade over the fz1000? low light etc thanks so much looking foward for your answer
Seez awesome video rhank you I think we’re taking the chance on G7! Quick Q how is the handheld? Thank you!
I was surprised that I film in Puerto Rico and Arizona in the summer time and didn't over heat I cundt believe it I had this camera since it came out in I believe in 2016 I got it July and still now in 2023 this baby still rolling going strong.sonfsr one of the best camera for the prise
G7 Lumix I agree it's one of the best camera out there in the market specially prise range and doesn't over heat I been using this camera since I bought it in 2016 and I use it heavy here in Las Vegas Nevada which is hot in the summer use it at lake Mead . use 4 TIMES AT one of the hottest location in the states DEATH VALLEY CALIFORNIA and it did survive. Plus I love that you cud bypass the 30 min record limit and have several hours recording limits asome either in 4k or FHD and you cud use multiple lense with a adapter ECT. I love this camera not looking forward yet to purchase a new camera if I do upgrade will be the next new Lumix.👍😉
this is the first and only camera I have. I'm so glad I made the right decision years ago. I'm never disappointed in it.
I am going to purchase... Shoul I ?
Excellent video and just what I was looking for. I did not realize one could use an adaptor for Canon lenses. Do you still get AF (auto focus) with the Canon lens? I have a Canon 55-250 STM and love it. Will that lens also work? Thanks much!
Yea, you do still have AF, but it’s not as fast as a native m/43 lens!
I am looking to buy this probably within a few days, can you recommend weather should i buy the canon 1500d or this one
Does the Lumix G7 output 4k30fps to OBS studio via HDMI for livestreaming?
Is it true that there could be some dropped frames issue when the files are split when they reach 4gb?
Very informative ,thank you for your great videos ,excellent presentations 🙏
Glad you like them!
Please i need your help in deciding which camera to buy between Canon 7D mkii or Panasonic G7 or Panasonic HcPv100 camcorder. Im into livestreaming treat as urgrnt
what gimbal do you recommand for the G7 ?
Your videos are great bro. Always enjoy lumix enjoyers. My experience I shot on my G7 for a full year and produced some fantastic shots. Recently picked up a G85 and that may replace my G7 as my run and gun main shooter simply due to the IBIS. But I'll NEVER sell my G7. It's served me well. Will probably stay a b roll or talking head cam sitting on a tripod
Could you please link what speed reducer you use for the canon lenses?
Super helpful and informative video!
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if you have questions for content that I can create to help you!
Loved ya vid suprized. You didn't mention other gack for the g7 though the ability to dial in basically any shutter speed you want
What best gimbal recommended fror lumix g7?
I got the G7 in 2016. The camera with a new lens really owns most of the content out there.
I disagree. I have the same and work with it. Its slow motion is crippled and extreme low bitrate. Also the autofocus is horrible with too much lens breathing. Can use it as a good family camera for trips and travel etc. No serious slow mo work (which is nowadays the prime neccesity for that "cine" look).
@@simplysurfing if you are talking about professional then probably get a Sony s3. This stuff is good for most casual stuff and better
IT's crazy how your G7 videos do so well... maybe umm, some more G7 content if you can squeeze some out :D
Haha yeah! More coming soon!
Just got mine today. Paid $600 new in 2023. Full OEM warranty with Accidental Damage protection as an added benefit. Can’t beat that. Lol
Can you record with night vision.? Not long exposure
Nice presentation. I appreciate the way you move beyond the hype and $$$$$ aspect, but emphasize that most of us don't need the Next Great Thing. I'm wondering how this compares with the G85, G95 or even the G9. If Panasonic does make an affordable micro 4/3 camera with similar great IBIS but with better AF, I'd be extremely interested. Thanks.
I will be doing some content on the other Panasonic cameras this year 👏🏻
Thanks for the support!
Nice video, i love my G7, picked up used and it's awesome. When i want IBIS i use my G95, GX85, or EM10Mii.
For video quality, would you say g7 or gopro hero 12? Which lens for the g7 is best?
can i use it with a low light environment?
Thank you for the information. Informative video. If I may ask, do you know any “affordable” tripod that is also a stabilizer for the G7? Thank you again.
What’s your budget?
@@SeezSantos Under $200CAD? I was looking at the DJI RS 3 Mini and it looks great but I do not think I can afford it at the moment. What do you think?
@@SOABASSASSIN the new Ronin-SC look like a great option! It has a lot of features you need for a stabilizer.
@@SeezSantos Thank you for the response and recommendation. I appreciate it a lot :) Stay blessed my brother 🙏
Hey! Do you have any recommendations for Cages for the G7. Smallrig discontinued the manufacturing of these and can’t even get my hands on a used one. I primarily film and take photos vertically but at this point i’m super desperate for a decent cage.
It's so hard to find a cage for these! Unfortunately t's whatever is available on the used market.
@@SeezSantos Ugh that’s what I figured😭 thanks for the response back anyways though!!
in your opinion is the canon 50 mm lens on the lumix g7 a good lens for video recording or would you prefer the 45-150 lens for the g7?
I love the canon 50 as long as you use the speed booster! My latest videos on my channel were shot with it. You can get a really blurry background if that’s a look your going for !
Is there a smaller lens compatible for this camera? I would love to make it a little more compact for my travels
Do its supports external mic
i have high end computer with a RTX-4090 24GB in it, do i still need a capture card to stream using the Lumix G7 ? I want to make sure, so I don't go & buy a capture card without needing one
Thanks in advance!
Great camera.
Amazing video bro 😎 sub and liked 💫
🔥
@@SeezSantos I’m saving my money and getting the Lumix G7 in 2023 💫because of you good work
What’s the website for page to get used cameras
Used to have a t5i but this was the other camera I was looking at any who I’m definitely going to get this one now because it’s cheap
I just want this for photography, is this good for that compare to others.
seez Greetings, in what way, can I have the panasonic lumix g7 camera powered with direct current, apart from its battery, there is another way, to be able to record or transmit live for long now, thanks
Unfortunately, the dummy battery method is the only way to power the G7. You can connect the dummy battery to an external battery bank and use that if you are looking for a mobile solution.
The dummy battery is a simple adapter so as long as you provide 7-9 volts it will work.
I learn a lot from your videos, and I have the G7.
The other day I was experimenting with settings and now my lcd screen is black and white! What did I mess up, and where?
Many Thanks again...
I glad I was able to help some how! What do you mean it’s black and white? Do you mean lik everything is grayscale ? Even when your on movie mode?
@@SeezSantos The LCD panel on the back was greyscale but the pictures and videos were in color. I finally found what I had changed and now I'm a happy camper. Glad to know I have a great camera. Many Thanks.!!.
I just got a lumix g7 and it came with a cinema lens of the street for $150 dammmm I’m lucky
Can you give me a list of lenses I can use or where to find them and the special adapter you mention
I have all the gear mentioned in this video linked in the description 😀
Leave it to RUclips and your smart messaging to convince me to own one! Bought one from a trusted and dear friend, and am excited to cut content - Am curious though about the matching Image App - learning about some of the many settings (noticeably focus pulls, etc.), can the Image App mimic much of what you're showing us?
What is the hack to remove the limit on video recording?
Great question! Making a video on this exact issue :)
Hello, I am looking between the G7 against the G85(G80), I find the latest at basically the same price.
There's some reason to not pick the G85 with a sensor stabilisation?
Thx
I have g7 and i saying you its amazing and budget camera.I have done cinematic video with them and is number 1
@@neritrabzon2103do you think its good for car photography and speed ramping videos
Greatest camera. If you now how to grade and process lumix video in high res etc, this surpasses the idea that more $ = better image.
What do I need to google to find that out
Lumix G7 is an amazing camera. I'm using it for livestreaming right now.
Bro what lens is good for livestreaming if I want a very wide FOV but also a slight bokeh when its focused on me?
It is great for streaming! What's your budget ?
@@SeezSantos Its awesome! Ideally less than $1,000
I'm looking at this G7 camera but still do not understand if I need it or my iPhone 13 pro max is better/worse. Or perhaps just an upgrade to iPhone 14 pro max? I'd like to make 4k videos (primarily of nature) and photos that can be printed in 16x24 inch size. I learned that sensor size is what's important, but do not understand how to compare the following sizes: iPhone 13 pro max - 1/1.7, iPhone 14 pro max 1/1.28", G7 - Four Third. So will G7 actually be any good for me or iPhone will just do the job? It's quite convenient just carrying the phone rather than a camera if it won't be any upgrade in terms of the actual camera. Thank you!!
A smartphone because of its smaller sensor will be noisier than a bigger Camera (espescially if you're recording indoors or at night time).
However in well lit outdoor environments i think you can get Video footage on a smartphone that looks equaly as good as the G7.
I don't know about the newer iPhones but on my Sony Xperia XZ and XZ2 i have overheating issues when recording longer videos so thats also a reason to get a Camera.
However the G7 doesn't have in camera stabilisation and the mega o.i.s. stabilisation on most Panasonic Objectives is bad.
So unless you need the mic input, remote shutter input or Cine-D color profile of the G7 i would recommend you to choose a GX80 over the G7
(same Sensor but with in body stabilisation)
which in Germany also cost around 300€ used.
The newer Olympus Cameras are known to have the best in body stabilisation but are also really pricy
(more than 500€ for a used EM1 mkII)
Doe sit have a clean HDMI output? Planning a podcast with 2 cam setup. I already volunteered my GH5ii for cam1 😁. Video feed to be sent to OBS for recording so I don't think it will be hit by the 29mins limitation.
Yes it does! If your using HDMI for recording you won’t need to worry about the limit at all
@@SeezSantos cool thanks. I was planning to use a combo of Fz2000 and GH5ii but the fz2000 video is not as good as the GH5ii and it shows... A G7 should be a bit closer (M43). Currently looking at the classifieds in my neck of the woods. What do you reckon would be a fair price for a G7 + kit lens these days? Thanks much and have a good Sunday!
I bought a G9 but the G7 is still a very solid camera. Matter fact there’s a shoot coming up where I’ll need to use a much more compact system and they are shooting in 1080p so I’m going to use the G7 for it instead. Great little camera
Would love to see what your creating! Drop a link here if you can!
@@SeezSantos I appreciate it and for sure

Thanks for the input, thinking about trying this one out. Was hesitant but, I would like to try something different. I’ve only really used canon and Sony.
what's the quality of the photo it produce
I LLLLOVE MY G7
Lumix g7 wow
Could you make a video about how the Lumix G7 Takes photos? I would like to know what results you get out of it with the kit lens and others.
Currently working on one! I’ll be testing out the different modes.
@@SeezSantos Cheers
It's a killer camera all around
I have four of them. It’s good. More money would get you better low light and full frame would give you a sharper image but for the money it’s unbelievable.
what gimbal would you recommend for the Lumix g7?
I have zhiyun crane v2 and is so good
4K mode has its caveats. Every 10 minutes it creates a new file creating a gap in the audio and it freezes for 2 frames. It also has a 10% crop (not as big a deal as the file issue)
Does this gap issue happens to everybody? I'm concerned now, since my brother bought me a G7 from Germany, and sometimes I record audio separately.
@@marcelomassayuki7899 I'm speaking from my experience buying a G7 model in the US
Is the HDMI out also 4k? My G85 outputs 4k via HDMI.
Yes, the HDMI out can be up to 4K. You can also change it in the TV settings on the menu if you need a different output.
Check out my live streaming video for for info on how to do that 👉 ruclips.net/video/dDi6vTUbxcY/видео.html
2:00 The unlimited recording time seems to me limited to non-european models. My german model and a model from Denmark I know can access 4k 30 fps, but not the unlimited recording.
It only works with US models. I have a UK model and it did not work for me as well
You can basically turn a european version into an american/international one, though.
👏🏻👏🏻💯
I want lens anyone know where to buy second hand lenses ?
HOW I ATTACH Nikon AF 70-300 Mm f/4-5.6G Telephoto Zoom Lens IN LUMIX G 7 CAN I ATTECH AND USE IT
Since you you have a “G” lens the only mounts available require you to use manual focus and aperture.
The Viltrox NF M43X is what you can use 👉amzn.to/3iGtVjc
So I was wondering what mode should I be shooting for Vlogging manual mode or movie mode on my g7
Movie mode 👍
@@SeezSantos thank youuuu
One last question’s 😬, what exposure modes should I play with and should I keep in in nature, standard or cinlike d
Is there a way to extend the time when filming a still video such as myself. The screen turns off after about 10min(I think) How do I turn this off?
That’s weird! Let me look into that’s and get back to you
I asked reddit and they said its a feature that can't be removed to preserve the battery.@@SeezSantos
I'm a beginner photographer I got the cam recently 😅. I'm loving it but I need more tips to improve the picture quality. I used to snap shots using professional mode on mobile so now I want some improvement over this camera for street & portrait photography. Which lens should I use to get so ? I've got a 14-42 lens with it.
Hello, the 12-35 f2.8 is a wonderful lens. Anyway, don't forget to train yourself on the use of the settings. There is so much possible in this direction to improve the images : ISO, shutter, aperture, lights/shadows settings, shooting mode (I love Cinelike V)...are you also using zebra and peak ? It is very useful...also. All the best :-)
Also you can buy very good used lenses with an adaptator (Viltrox for example). I've bought very good old Nikon lenses which do a very good work on this G7.
@@EgmontLabadie thanks a lot 💓
@@EgmontLabadie really thank you ❤️ for your suggestion but finding used & good quality lens in India is bit of hit & miss
@@debasispatra3378 Ah ok sorry...All the best !
I just bought a second one used for a great price and some very nice lenses to record parts of the church service that I go to. First camcorder I used is the Canon xa 11. The colors on the viewing screens appear better than the more expensive Canon, lol.
Nice! I’ve had a few viewers use it for the exact same reason but to live stream!
How does this compare to the slightly more expensive Canon m50?
My Lumix G7 was a great camera...until the mechanical shutter failed. Sure, the electronic shutter still worked but the premature failure of the mechanical shutter disappointed me (it had less than 6K shutter count). It's all good, though. I replaced it with the Lumix G9. :)
So I've recently bought a Lumix G7 from a friend of mine and I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this. While I love the video's I am producing with it, in the same lighting condition I find the photo's I shoot with it downright ugly. I've been doing my best to adjust the settings to improve it but I just don't like what comes out ever. Is there something obvious I am missing? When I shoot photo's in simular conditions with my Canon EOS 60D everything just looks much more natural.
Probably the lens your using
Lumix g7 or sony zv e10?

Not bad ! At least your shooting it !
@@SeezSantos do you have a video on how to bypass the recording limit with the G7?
What was the hack?
Is this a good camera to film handheld?
This camera does not have IBIS, so if you are looking for super smooth handheld shots is recommended the G85/95
Trying to decide on G7 or G95. Why this one vs. that one? Thanks!
If you can afford the G95 I would recommend that over the G7!
Thank you for the feedback. I have been leaning that way.
@@SeezSantos One concern i have is weight difference.

@@SeezSantos I shoot video ndruclips.net/video/d-Zab-hzsJk/видео.html and for livestreaming

I didn’t understand this bit either
Do you get away with the USB-power while streaming or do you use a dummy battery?
Unfortunately, with the G7 you have to use the dummy battery.
What website was that for the used cameras
eBay
Ebay!
If i don't care about the video part....for stills is ok,right?
Is the g7 good for photography
For beginners yes. There are some other alternatives I would highly recommend!
And don't forget that this is probably one of Panasonic's lightest cameras in terms of weight :)
Great point!
Lots people didn't like this camera people gave it such a bad review do to it's focus point and stabilization..to me this camera is asome I use it alot with different lens and tell you what find a lens with build in stabilization you can't go wrong.i love it

Why are you talking about rumors of a better autofocus in a video about a great 2015 budget camera? It has nothing to do with the subject of the video feels like a ramble and all over the place.
You can’t find this camera with the price you showed in beginning.
Minimum 300
Those were “sold” listings that I screen grabbed from eBay when I created this video. So yes you can find them for those prices. You just have to time the market right and have some alerts setup to find them that cheap.
Bro, minute 1:17 careful with your camera's lens and body
Always 😎 gotta be careful
you can still buy these brand new in 2024.
i bought one BRAND NEW for $200 😂
amazing!
