Just got my GH7 but can't find the Dynamic Range Boost mode. There is "iDynamic Range" but it is toggled off in V-log.

At @4:06, is that an aftermarket lens hood?

[zarzavisuals]

Minute 2:37, bottom left corner, still the light streak issue. Is this video shot with GH7?

[matthewqin]

Thanks for the great review. I'd like to know how is Arri log working in GH7, look forward to your next review.

[JoATTech]

Does it record BRAW via HDMI like GH6? Not listed so far on compatibility list on blackmagic video assist page :(

[florianmuller]

At 9:50 battery life is at 2h35m and battery symbol is half empty. What kind of battery do you use?

[LaloFlores]

I'm waiting for a compact gh5. Or a g100 ii.

[imagesh]

Can you still use the original XLR module with the GH7?

[xraydog]

Finally panasonic listened to their customers, have a ton a load of lenses for the micro 4/3 in my inventory, glad they fixed the AF, will upgrade from the GH5

[jessemast]

Thanks for the video! Just so I understand, the GH7 can shoot 5.7K 60fps in ProRes, OR, 5.7K 60fps only in 10-bit? Thanks :)

[davidpossien]

Is there a coms cable to be able to effectively move the hotshoe somewhere else?

[_delleps_]

Does it really come with a dummy battery or was that just something sent to reviewers?

[NickStubbs]

Now you're talking, keep it up panny! I've just bought the S5iiX, may well get this GH7 and...the S1H II/S2H next? 😎👍

[stevevickers]

One thing which appears to be missing is pre-record of stills as used to be a feature of the GH5. Olympus and many other cameras provide this feature which is becoming more standard for photographers who want to catch action prior to pressing the shutter button.

YAH YAH YAH! Here goes my GAS again $3298 AUD (Camera body only) might wait till the price comes down. Thanks for yet again a comprehensive review. I am still happy with both my GH5 & GH5II. I was keen on the S5IIX but I have invested a lot of money in my PRO MF3 lens collection I don't want to move to the L mount system. I did not like the GH6 enough to upgrade, Now here we are with a much better MF3 Camera.... there will be a lot of older Lumix cameras going cheap (maybe including mine) to be able to upgrade to the LUCKY GH7. We shall see.

We want BRAW, leave prores for theApple fanattics

[maxarchambault]

Can someone tell me if I should get this or the S5iix and why?

[MrKoctbllb]

How so that only 2 years after launch of GH6 comes GH7? Isn't it too fast?

[razfilmstv]

I have the G9II. I will probably not use Pro Res Raw. But if Lumix will offer the $500 extra trade in like they did on the G9II I might get the GH7

Another video about this GH7. All of them pops up.
