Panasonic Announces New LUMIX GH7 Micro Four-Thirds Mirrorless Camera

Panasonic is proud to introduce the new LUMIX GH7 - the latest flagship model of the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless LUMIX G Series.

London, 5^th June 2024

The LUMIX GH7 delivers outstanding video performance, wide dynamic range with a newly developed 25.2MP BSI CMOS sensor, and improved AF performance with PDAF (Phase Detection Auto-Focus). To support the efficient workflow required in professional production environments, the GH7 is newly equipped with Apple ProRes RAW^*1 internal recording and the World’s first 32-bit float recording^*2, which eliminates the need to adjust sound recording levels during shooting.

With the rapid increase in demand for video content in recent years, the number of small teams of video creators is rising, along with the demand for further improvements in the quality of mirrorless cameras with excellent video performance and portability. Since its release in 2009, our LUMIX GH series has developed a strong reputation among creators and video production teams as a model renowned for its shooting performance, innovative features and reliability.

The LUMIX GH7 is a next-generation mirrorless camera that meets the needs of creators, whatever their creative field may be.

The LUMIX GH7 will be available at the end of July 2024, with an RRP of £1999.99
