The Lumix GF7 is a great little camera and I really enjoyed using it. If you take lot of selfies it is, without doubt, the best option, combining ease of use and fun, innovative modes while at the same time offering most of the things you'd expect from an advanced mirrorless compact system camera.
Comparison with GX7

So I was considering the GF7 as a 60 FPS capable alternative to the GM1. But I read in the cameralabs.com review that the GF7 does not offer exposure control in video and the camera sets everything regardless of mode dial, and in reading the GF7 advanced manual this seems to be the case. This is in contrast to the GM1 and GX7 which do offer user control. If so, this is sort of a mess- all the reviews talk about how similar the GF7 is to the GM1 and GX7. The GF7 even offers 60 FPS, an upgrade over GM1, but artificially restricts user control over movies???
I guess you can still fix the shutter using the anti-flicker feature, so not a total loss here. I believe exposure compensation should still work (although fixed at the beginning of the video), and the camera does have focus peaking.

Full review
All in all, the little Panasonic GF7 packs a lot of performance into a small, lightweight and easy to use package. It may be billed as an entry-level camera and comes in at an affordable, entry-level price, but the GF7 offers a lot of camera for the money. As with many of the other 16MP Micro Four Thirds cameras out there, the image quality is impressive.
