Anyone remotely associated with the photography space would know that the Lumix G7 is a remarkable little camera. Launched sometime in 2015, this camera is now almost a decade old. However, there is consensus among photographers that even 8 years after its launch, the G7 is still an excellent beginner’s camera.
Besides the low price, the Lumix G7 has a lot of other things in its favor. Since it is based on the micro 4/3 format, it is much smaller in size compared to APS-C and full-frame machines, making it easy to carry around. There are several lens options on offer — including an excellent 25mm prime lens — also running a $100 discount. Eight years on, this camera is still capable of capturing excellent videos with support for 4K 24/30 FPS video capture, and the ability to connect external microphones thrown in, too.
Where you may find the G7 lacking compared to its newer rivals is its slower autofocus speeds and the lack of in-body image stabilization. If you predominantly intend to shoot indoors and use a tripod, the second con almost becomes irrelevant. So yes, if you were eyeing a brand new, inexpensive, easy-to-use camera that can help you take your baby steps into the world of photography, you should definitely consider the Panasonic Lumix G7, especially at this discounted price.
