Limitations
Despite its strengths, the Lumix G7 lacks in-body image stabilization, relying on lens stabilization for shake reduction. Its low-light ISO performance is moderate compared to newer models with larger sensors. The camera’s continuous shooting speed maxes out at 8 fps, which may be limiting for fast action photography. Battery life is average, requiring spare batteries for extended shooting sessions. Video recording is limited to 30 minutes per clip in 4K mode, restricting continuous long recordings. The autofocus system, though reliable, can exhibit occasional hunting in low-contrast environments.
