Panasonic’s new LUMIX GX7 interchangeable lens camera, sports a retro-classic design, and packs impressive advanced features and creative functions that will help change your photography. The camera’s elegant design is evocative of the classical photographic age, making it perfect for the style-conscious enthusiast to carry with them every day.

Exceptional results in any light

Advanced photography is all about balanced compositions, and the LUMIX GX7 provides the image quality needed to achieve exceptional results, every time. In particular, the camera performs beautifully in low-light situations, enabling you to bring out the energy of the city at night or the peace of the countryside at dawn.

The speed to capture the unexpected:

As the perfect shot doesn’t always wait for you, the LUMIX GX7 has been built for speed. The camera’s Light Speed Auto Focus (AF) means you can capture fast-moving street scenes – from dancers in a parade to streams of morning commuters – with beautiful clarity and sharp precision.

The creative choice

The LUMIX GX7 allows you to express your individuality through its creative and manual controls, ensuring your personality comes through in every image and video captured. New advanced monochrome and colour filters enable you to fine tune each shot manually.

Complete shooting flexibility

The LUMIX GX7 has been designed to give you total shooting flexibility so you can capture the perfect image, whatever the situation. Compose your shots via a newly integrated 90-degree tilt-able Live View Finder (LVF) or with the high resolution touch-screen LCD, which allows you to set the focus and exposure with just one touch.

Evocative design

Housed in a magnesium alloy body – and available in black or silver - the LUMIX GX7 has the high quality and premium aesthetics to complement your style. Every part of the camera is designed to enhance the sophisticated metallic profile, while ensuring robust durability.

The widest choice of lenses and accessories

As part of the LUMIX G system, the LUMIX GX7 will provide you with access to the world’s largest range of Micro Four Thirds lenses and accessories, ensuring you have the right equipment to capture every moment. These include the new single focal length LUMIX G 20 mm / F1.7 II ASPH - H-H020A lens. This model features a newly-designed metallic profile alongside sleek, sophisticated design features that are elegantly finished in black and silver.
