In fact, the G7 is not even practical as a <em>backup<\/em> camera for the GH4 due to its limitations.<\/p>\n<p>However, the story changes if you&#8217;re a GH4 shooter looking for an affordable B-camera to add a 2nd angle to your projects.<\/p>\n<h2>The G7 is Affordable<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Kit_Product-Page.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6552\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Kit_Product-Page-693x446.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic G7 Product Page\" width=\"693\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Kit_Product-Page-693x446.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Kit_Product-Page-336x216.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Kit_Product-Page-930x599.jpg 930w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Kit_Product-Page-607x391.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Kit_Product-Page.jpg 1166w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The G7 costs only $699<\/strong>. That&#8217;s a whole grand less than the GH4. This means that you can buy <em>two<\/em> G7&#8217;s for the price of one GH4, and still have enough left over for some good memory cards and a comfy camera bag.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the G7 is only initially available as $799 kit that includes a 14-42mm lens. This is not a great lens, so I would recommend selling it immediately and pick up something better. Here&#8217;s a few options to get you started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Panasonic 14mm f\/2.5\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1g9YLEk\">Panasonic 14mm f\/2.5<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Olympus 25mm f\/1.8\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1oloYoU\">Olympus 25mm f\/1.8<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Olympus 12-40mm f\/2.8\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1mEFSgw\">Olympus 12-40mm f\/2.8<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"highlight\">\n<p><strong>Further Reading:<\/strong> <a title=\"Lens Options for the Panasonic GH4\" href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/series\/panasonic-gh4-lens-options\/\">Lens Options for the Panasonic GH4<\/a> &#8212; all of the guides in this series for the GH4 are applicable to the G7 as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The G7 Shoots 4K<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4K_Logo_Panasonic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6555\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4K_Logo_Panasonic-336x336.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic 4K\" width=\"336\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4K_Logo_Panasonic-336x336.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4K_Logo_Panasonic-693x693.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4K_Logo_Panasonic-607x607.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4K_Logo_Panasonic.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Say it with me: <strong>4K for $700<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, this single feature is the reasons for most of the excitement around the G7, but it&#8217;s also what makes it a viable B-camera when shooting 4K with the GH4.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its limitations when recording HD video, the G7&#8217;s 4K capabilities have somehow avoided the chopping block. You can shoot in 4K (UHD) at 24P and 30P at the same 100Mbps bitrate as the GH4. This means that <strong>the G7&#8217;s 4K image quality should match up well with 4K footage from the GH4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>The G7 is Easy to Match<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from image quality, matching the <em>look<\/em> of footage from different cameras can be a real issue, especially if the cameras are from different manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>However, the G7 uses the same picture styles as the GH4 (Standard, Natural, Cine-D, Cine-V, etc.), so there&#8217;s a very good chance that shooting with the same picture settings on both cameras will yield footage with a very similar look. At the very least, the G7&#8217;s footage should give you a better starting point for matching with the GH4 compared to a camera from a completely different manufacturer.<\/p>\n<h2>The G7 Uses the Same Lenses<\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"Micro Four Thirds lens mount\" href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic-GH4_Lens-Options_Native-Lenses_003_Electronic-Contacts-on-Camera.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1793 size-large\" title=\"Micro Four Thirds lens mount\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic-GH4_Lens-Options_Native-Lenses_003_Electronic-Contacts-on-Camera-693x472.jpg\" alt=\"Micro Four Thirds lens mount\" width=\"693\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic-GH4_Lens-Options_Native-Lenses_003_Electronic-Contacts-on-Camera-693x472.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic-GH4_Lens-Options_Native-Lenses_003_Electronic-Contacts-on-Camera-336x229.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic-GH4_Lens-Options_Native-Lenses_003_Electronic-Contacts-on-Camera-607x414.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic-GH4_Lens-Options_Native-Lenses_003_Electronic-Contacts-on-Camera.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, one of the major benefits of picking up the G7 for any GH4 shooter is that the G7&#8217;s Micro Four Thirds lens mount means you already have a set of lenses ready to go for the G7.<\/p>\n<p>Any lens or adapter that works with the GH4 will also work on the G7, saving you from having to buy a new set of lenses for the G7. You can just use what you already have.<\/p>\n<h2>The G7 has Familiar Controls<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Top.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6554\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Top-693x432.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic G7 Controls\" width=\"693\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Top-693x432.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Top-336x210.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Top-930x580.jpg 930w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Top-607x379.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Top.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The G7 has many of the same physical controls that you already know and love on the GH4. It&#8217;s not exactly the same, but it&#8217;s close enough to allow you to get up and running quickly.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the G7 has <strong>5 customizable physical function buttons<\/strong> in approximately the same locations on the camera as the GH4&#8217;s function buttons. The G7 also has 5 additional &#8220;soft&#8221; function buttons that are accessible via the touchscreen (just like the GH4).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Function-Buttons.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6558\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Function-Buttons-693x609.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic G7 Function Buttons\" width=\"693\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Function-Buttons-693x609.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Function-Buttons-336x295.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Function-Buttons-930x817.jpg 930w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Function-Buttons-607x533.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Function-Buttons.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The G7&#8217;s mode dials are also very similar to the GH4. The main difference is that the G7 only has a single slot on the dial for custom profiles, while the GH4 has 3. That said, you can save up to 3 different custom presets on the G7 (versus 5 custom presets on the GH4), but it will just take a few more button presses to select the preset you want to use.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Mode-Dial.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6553\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Mode-Dial-693x457.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic G7 Mode Dial\" width=\"693\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Mode-Dial-693x457.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Mode-Dial-336x222.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Mode-Dial-930x614.jpg 930w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Mode-Dial-607x401.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_Mode-Dial.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In fact, the biggest difference with the G7&#8217;s button layout is that the white balance (WB) and ISO buttons are placed on the <em>rear<\/em> of the camera, rather than on the top as on the GH4. However, once you&#8217;ve acclimated to this, you should be able to access these buttons just as easily as you can on the GH4.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_ISO-WB.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6551\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_ISO-WB-693x342.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic G7 ISO &amp; White Balance Buttons\" width=\"693\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_ISO-WB-693x342.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_ISO-WB-336x166.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_ISO-WB-930x459.jpg 930w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_ISO-WB-607x300.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_ISO-WB.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The G7 has Good Displays<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_EVF.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6557\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_EVF-693x311.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic G7 Electronic Viewfinder\" width=\"693\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_EVF-693x311.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_EVF-336x151.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_EVF-930x417.jpg 930w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_EVF-607x272.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_G7_EVF.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It might just be your B-camera, but that doesn&#8217;t mean the G7 should be a pain to shoot with. Fortunately, the G7 has high-resolution displays that should make monitoring your footage and nailing focus relatively pain-free.<\/p>\n<p>The G7&#8217;s electronic viewfinder (EVF) uses an OLED display with a resolution of 2,360K dots, which closely matches the GH4&#8217;s OLED EVF (2,359K dots).<\/p>\n<p>The G7 uses a TFT LCD display for the rear monitor, but it should provide a good way to monitor the footage you&#8217;re shooting with its 1,040K dot resolution. The GH4&#8217;s OLED screen has a similar resolution of 1,036K dots, and it is very usable for critical focus.<\/p>\n<h2>Panasonic G7: The Perfect B-Camera to Your GH4?<\/h2>\n<p>In a perfect world, the perfect B-camera for the GH4 is&#8230;another GH4. If you have the budget, your secondary camera should be as capable as your primary one.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you shoot a lot of 4K footage with the GH4 and simply need to add a 2nd angle to your projects without breaking the bank, Panasonic&#8217;s G7 is an affordable 4K-capable camera that should pair well with the GH4, both in terms of image quality and workflow.<\/p>\n<h2>Related<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Panasonic G7 w\/14-42mm lens\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1EQNqnk\">Panasonic G7 w\/14-42mm lens<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Panasonic DMC-GH4\"
