Panasonic is proud to introduce the new LUMIX GH7 – the latest flagship model of the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless LUMIX G Series.
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, it is now newly equipped with Apple ProRes RAW*1 internal recording and a 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 increasing along with the demand for further improvement 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.

We are getting strong information from the past month that Panasonic has strong plans to announce not one but a total of 3 cameras,
March 11, 2024 [check post here] – Panasonic Registers 3 NEW cameras, one of them is said to be Panasonic GH7 according to E8M_8888
Update: The total number of unreleased models are P2303A, P2302A, and P2304A.
One of them is also considered to be Panasonic GH7 [told in March 11]
On May 8, Way before other Rumor Mills We told you, to check the post here
Before May 8, we got Strong Hints that Panasonic was about to announce two cameras, We have written in our post that DAY
Interestingly, two Cameras from Pansonic are coming Soon. it’s hard to believe that Panasonic has two new cameras with FF sensors coming soon, yes we do have information in the past that the compact camera will have an FF sensor but one more Entry Level Mirrorless is also coming, this particular news makes me very excited
[ check post here ]We have received strong hints about Panasonic TWO’s new camera arriving, but we have been confused with the information provided by the source and considered the compact camera will have a Fullframne Sensor, actually, now we know the Compact has a M4/3 Sensor
At the time of the Panasonic S9 Announcement, A user asked me
Summary, 1 Announced two more to go
After the Panasonic S9 announcement, However, we still have two more announcements from Panasonic shortly one compact and another of Panasonic GH7.
The Panasonic GH7 is expected to arrive with a hybrid autofocus sensor. This technology started from the Panasonic S5 Mark II, then Panasonic implemented its first hybrid Micro Four Thirds CMOS sensor in the Panasonic G9 Mark II camera, and finally, we are expecting the same sensor to arrive inside the Panasonic GH7.
The camera is set to arrive in Q4 of 2024. This is not so soon. We will post an update as soon as more details become available.
The confirmation arrived from Yamane-san from Panasonic recently mentioned in an interview that they will adopt the best autofocus method (obviously they are talking about the PDAF) depending on the target users and customer benefits, and they will consider installing PDAF on the camera based on its characteristics (means starting from the pro-MFT like GH series and then moving downwards). This particular piece of information adds more credibility to the set of information we have shared with u guys a while ago.
Actual Parts of the interview
As for future cameras, we will adopt the optimal autofocus method each time, while assessing the target users and customer benefits. We will consider installing PDAF depending on the characteristics of the model, not only for full size but also for MFTs, so please look forward to it.
About future 2023 products:
We will continue to support creators and develop products that creators want. And we will also consider the need for higher-end products to meet the future needs of creators. I can’t give you details about future products, but Johnnie’s high-end model for video production professionals may take a little more time. Anyway, please look forward to that day.
A part of the Text from our article published on January 22nd, 2023
One of the most highly-anticipated features of the GH7 is its hybrid AF sensor, yes we do believe this time we will have a Hybrid CMOS AF inside. This sensor will be a combination of both contrast-detection and phase-detection autofocus technologies just like we have seen in the recently announced Panasonic’s S5 Mark II camera and has received positive feedback from users. The inclusion of this technology in the GH7 camera will allow for faster and more accurate autofocus, making it a more attractive option for professional photographers and videographers who require high-performance cameras. The only Major Upgrade I Wish for inside the upcoming GH7 camera.
However, it is important to note that while Yamane-san’s comments provide some support for the speculations in the article, it is still important to wait for official announcements from Panasonic regarding their upcoming GH7 camera
Panasonic has been one of the leading manufacturers of mirrorless cameras for many years, and the company’s GH series has been highly popular among professional photographers and videographers. In this article we will discuss the set of specs that may appear inside the Panasonic GH7 and its arrival date, we do hope and expect the upcoming GH series flagship camera is set to be a game-changer in the mirrorless camera market.
Panasonic GH Series announcement pattern
GH1: March 2009
GH2: September 2010
GH3: September 2012
GH4: February 2014
GH5: January 2016
GH5s: January 2018
GH6: Feb 2022
GH7: 2023 [Expected]
Live MOS Micro Four Thirds Sensor with Hybrid Auto Focus
One of the most highly-anticipated features of the GH7 is its hybrid AF sensor, yes we do believe this time we will have a Hybrid CMOS AF inside. This sensor will be a combination of both contrast-detection and phase-detection autofocus technologies just like we have seen in the recently announced Panasonic’s S5 Mark II camera and has received positive feedback from users. The inclusion of this technology in the GH7 camera will allow for faster and more accurate autofocus, making it a more attractive option for professional photographers and videographers who require high-performance cameras. The only Major Upgrade I Wish for inside the upcoming GH7 camera.
Well, that’s a topic of discussion, pixel peepers (like me) do love higher-resolution sensors at the same time some do believe that having a higher-resolution sensor means compromising with low-light performance of the camera. As we know the M4/3 formats-based sensors are 2X smaller than full frame sensors, so loading up more resolution won’t be feasible this time. A 40 MP higher resolution M4/3 format sensor should be preserved for Panasonic GH8 with 8K video resolution 😉
Rest Everything looks good inside the Panasonic GH series, which already features class-leading core specifications. If we talk about burst speed of 75fps of GH6 camera, 5.8K / 29.97p and 4K DCI / 119.88p RAW video data over HDMI that can be recorded as Apple ProRes RAW on the Atomos NINJA V and NINJA V+, and after the firmware v2.2 GH6 able to work with external SSDs with a capacity of up to 2TB, offering users fast storage at a fraction of the cost of CFexpress cards. This external storage is not only available for filmmakers or those shooting in ProRes, as all video formats can be saved to an SSD – as can still images. So, I think these features are already class-leading and don’t need that much improvement or upscaling, the only thing I am waiting for now is a massive upgrade in the AutoFocus system of the camera.
