Panasonic LUMIX GH7 Announced – PDAF, Internal ProRes RAW, 32-bit Float Audio, and More

The new Panasonic LUMIX GH7 camera features a new 25.2MP Micro Four Thirds sensor with phase detect autofocus (PDAF) and faster AFS and AFC in both photo and video. There is a wide variety of 10-bit video modes from 5.8K 4:3 open gate up to 30fps, 5.7K up to 60fps, 4K up to 120fps, or FHD up to 300fps all recorded internally to CFexpress card, SD card, or SSD via the USB-C port. The GH7 now also offers internal ProRes RAW recording in 5.7K or 4K (CFexpress or SSD) as well as raw HDMI output. Additionally, there is a 32-bit float audio recording available (with the new optional DMW-XLR2 unit). The camera features the same body as the GH6 with active cooling and will ship in July 2024 for $2,197.99. The previous Micro Four Thirds (MFT) video flagship from Panasonic, the LUMIX GH6, was announced only two years ago, in February 2022. Since then, the Japanese camera manufacturer introduced PDAF (phase detect autofocus) to their camera lineup, which debuted in the full-frame L-mount S5 II and S5 IIX cameras. Last year, in September, the new MFT photography flagship LUMIX G9 II came out with the new autofocus system (Our G9 II review can be found here). Today, right before the 2024 Cine Gear Expo in LA, Panasonic announces the new LUMIX GH7. Let’s take a look at the features and specs of the new MFT video flagship.
