Whether you are watching movies or editing videos, 4K delivers a far more intense viewing experience than you have seen before. Its native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels is four times larger than Full HD, resulting in a much higher level of detail. Even if you export your footage filmed in 4K to a Full HD TV, the video files will have even better definition and crisper details than those filmed in Full HD. Capture even the fastest moving action thanks to Panasonic's Depth From Defocus (DFD) Auto Focus (AF) technology*. The LUMIX G7 features this brand new technology instantly calculating the distance between the items inside the frame and drives the focus of the lens in one fast, continuous movement. This new system results in AF speeds up to 0.07 seconds** and a burst shooting speed with AFC of 6 frames per second. It also increases the stability of continuous focusing when shooting video. The 16 megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor in combination with the newly developed Venus Engine provides both: high quality image capture and high speed signal processing. The superior noise reduction system enables crisp images even in low light conditions up to ISO 25,600. The LUMIX G7 comes with a high-resolution OLED Live View Finder which allows high visibility thanks to a 10,000:1 contrast and perfect framing even under direct sunlight conditions. Also with all your settings displayed right in front of your eye, your pictures will always come out exactly how you want them to. Furthermore the tilt/swivel touch-display of the LUMIX G7 gives you the freedom to find unusual perspectives while maintaining easy operation and full image control. Features 4K Video / 4K Photo - 4K Pre-Burst, 4K Burst, 4K Burst (Start&Stop) 2,360k-dot OLED Live View Finder 16.00 Megapixels Digital Live MOS Sensor 3.0“ 1040k-dot Touch LCD Screen Intelligent Auto Wifi

Having owned the G6 for a few lenses, I was impressed enough to decide to upgrade. I'd wanted the 14-140 mm lens for a long time and the 4K video capabilities of the G7 was enough to tempt me. However, whilst the lens is excellent and the photo capabilities of the G7 is better than the G6 (separate drive and focus options on dedicated buttons/dials), the 4K video capability is poor. The 4K quality is inferior to my Sony Z2 camera phone, with bit rate 20 Mbit per second, compared with 50. Most frustratingly, panning or moving the camera leads to a jerky video that is not usable. I've used Sandisk Extreme Pro cards with write speed of 70 MBytes per second and alternative lenses from my G6, but the results are consistently poor. If you are buying the G7 for 4K video, look somewhere else.
