This is the first image of the brand new Panasonic GX7 that will be announced in August! As you see Panasonic goal was to revive the glorious. And some of you also saw a touch of Fuji X-M1 (very similar back dials!) on the new GX7. And this could not be casual because Fuji and Panasonic are working together on the new organic sensor tech. That said here are the specs:

- The leaked document says it’s 16Megapixel but I heard it’s 18MP. This makes me think the sensor may be multiaspect. Which means 18 megapixel sensor with 16 megapixels effective resolution (like it was on the GH2!).

- It has a Magnesium body and comes in full black or black-silver.

- It has an on sensor stabilization (first ever for Pana).

- Same video quality as the GH3

- Shutter speed up to 1/8000

- 5fps (4fps with continuous A)

- it can focus also in very dark conditions

- Tiltable 2,76 Million Dot EVF

- Tiltable 3 inch LCD (1,04 Million dots)

- Integrated WiFi and NFC

- Focus peaking

- Stereo Mic

- Shipment in September

- Body only price 1.000 Euro

- There will be two kit version. One with 14-42 and one with 20mm lens.

Apologies for the shitty formatting, too lazy to go through each paragraph and fix it, but it really does seem like this could be an amazing camera if it lives up to the specs, and at 1000 euros, it's not THAT expensive.

 
The only difference is the trendy silver body, what about those alleged stats make this such an amazing camera?
 
I wasn't comparing it to them, but I guess the size, weight, and ibis.

I may have gotten a bit overexcited with this haha, but I think it's a big step up
 
looks neat, hopefully they can make some more pancake lenses, then I think this would do really well. The size advantage is nothing if the lenses are still huge. With that said, I also feel like my gh2 just feels too tiny at times. My mom has a 6D, and the size is much better. If it is too big for a pocket, it should use that to its advantage in my opinion. Either way, the GX7 looks pretty sweet
 
best m4/3 ever? I'd really beg to differ. I'd like to see how that does in comparison to Olympus' in-body stabilization, which is phenominal as fuck...

Looks like it might be good, for sure, but the best? ehhh...

Personally, if I went m4/3, I'd just buy an older Olympus EP-whatever model from the last couple of years, buy a panasonic 20mm and call it quits. pocket camera all day long.
