Australian Financial Review

When this reviewer first got a hold of the GF7, he was opposed to selfies on an “ideological level” but after playing with our latest G series model, he came to realise that part of his problem was not feeling like he looked very good in a selfie. As it turns out, the GF7’s ability to produce great self-portraits boosted his “selfie esteem” so much that he warns readers the camera “might promote morbid vanity”.

Photography Blog

The reviewers at Photography Blog really put the GF7 through its paces, subjecting it to an exhaustive round of tests across ease of use and image quality, including testing the camera’s ability with a sample photo shoot. The conclusion was that the GF7 is a feature-rich camera that takes excellent pictures and is particularly well-suited to smartphone/entry-level compact camera owners looking for better image quality and more features.

“The GF7’s increased focus on taking better selfies is no gimmick, with the tilting screen and a range of genuinely useful modes on offer to make it easier to take them, improve them and share them. If selfies aren’t your thing, the Panasonic Lumix GF7 also has a wealth of other functionality that has trickled down from models much higher up the range, while the 16 megapixel sensor (as used in the GX7) offers excellent image quality.” – 4.5 out of 5 stars, Highly Recommended – Photography Blog Review.
