Panasonic Lumix GH7 Review: Internal ProRes RAW Makes It a Cinema Camera in Disguise

The GH line has been the video shooter’s Micro Four Thirds camera for over a decade. The Panasonic Lumix GH7, released in mid-2024, is the most complete version yet. It records ProRes RAW inside the camera, it finally has phase-detection autofocus, and with an optional module it records 32-bit float audio. On paper it reads like a cinema camera. It costs about $2,200.

The sensor is a 25.2MP back-side illuminated Four Thirds chip. That’s smaller than full frame or APS-C, and it’s the GH7’s main tradeoff. In exchange you get a compact system, small lenses and deep focus that’s easy to control, which run-and-gun shooters love.
