The Panasonic GH7 Has ALMOST No Compromises!

The Panasonic GH series has always been some of the best hybrid cameras ever made, and the new Lumix GH7 brings the best features of the GH6 and last year's G9 II together in a single body with new features like internal raw video and 32-bit float audio. Will this become Jordan’s camera of choice for shooting PetaPixel’s YouTube show? Better watch and find out.

Expect to hear Jordan talk about this more in the future.

That slow motion twirling sequence was magical.

[austinmcconnell]

Shout out to all my homies still rocking a hacked GH2.

[MrC-Hacking]

the guy in the back at 2:02 definitely knew you guys

[MicroFourNerds]

Going to use that clip of Jordon spinning in slow motion as my reaction whenever a new camera comes out 😁

[evindrews]

I broke into tears after Jordans spin. beautfiul

[brettbaker]

Something magical did indeed happen. I magically gained even more respect for Jordan.

G9 II for me, but I’m glad this is there for those who want it.
Also, I’m thrilled that M4/3 is not dead.

[MattMarcheski]

Jordan’s breakdowns are absolutely insane and efficient - he’s so good at this

[POVwithRC]

Super pleased. Go Lumix Go!
I am a Sony pony but I absolutely want as many options as I can for my MFT homies.

That slow-mo makes this the best video this team has ever made. EVER.

thank you very much, Chris and Jordan, for sharing this video! Finally, the micro four thirds videocentric, hybrid camera i've been waiting for ...! Thank you very much, Panasonic, for finally releasing the GH7 with proper phase-detect autofocus!

I've shot on Panasonic MFT since 2014 with the GH4. No system hopping. I've acquired amazing lenses over the years for the system. Definitely getting the GH7 😊

Please can we get Jordan to do a video about the benefits of each format for video for the lower end of usage please. I feel like many people do video who aren't needing the highest end features but still want good quality video who need to know if there are benefits of FF vs. APSC vs. M43 for run and gun type of usage.
I don't do much grading for my work for my newspaper (full time photo and video for news) and for my YT channel (direct to camera-product showcase videos). So my need to do high end grading isn't there but if there's a significant benefit to something beyond what I'm currently doing I'd like to know.

FINALLY, they did what we all wanted. No, Jordan, you're not crazy for recommending m43 and the GH7. There are very compelling reasons to buy each format, depending upon what you photograph most often. The GH7 is simply a pinnacle for Lumix right now. Inevitably, that will change and a new L-Mount body will add something new to the mix. But both formats are valid. If I were working commercially, I could see needs for both m43 and FF. I will now decide whether I need high end video features and go with the GH7, or "reasonable" video features and get the G9 Mark II, as my son did. A lot will depend on when it is released.

Thanks, Panasonic, for keeping MFT alive in 2024!

[juliusherth]

This is so awesome to see Panasonic pushing and innovating!

[andrewjones-productions]

I enjoyed Jordan's 'Gone With The Wind' moment and half-expected him to turn into Scarlet O'Hara as he twirled. What allowed me to enjoy the moment was the very nice image produced by the camera. The Panasonic GH7 seems to be a very capable camera and I really liked the app with LUTs and most importantly, LUT sharing capabilities. This will be an easy way to quickly find LUTs and I applaud Panasonic's creation of a central location for this. Other manufacturers should take note. This is an excellent use of an app in my opinion.

Panasonic is stepping up the game and I am happy for every GH user! I myself, have switched from GH5 at some point to X-T4 and I don't want to come back anymore. Enjoy your new camera GH peeps!

Jordan, I have always thought you were a very lucky son-of-a-gun to have married such a gorgeous woman. She could have chosen anyone of us devastatingly handsome super-hero photographer guys, but she chose you, a lowly video guy with looks that will never grace a modeling catwalk.

BUT when you did the slo-mo pirouette with the blossoms I understood that it is she who is the lucky one. How could she not love a man obviously destined for the ballet stage, but who instead sacrificed his dance talents to help us mere mortal Lumix users on a YouTube channel?

LOVE THAT FOOTAGE :) And I love knowing that you get to go home to such a beautiful family as well. And with a GH7 in your hand as well. The Canada happiness index just went up a notch.
