Panasonic LUMIX GH7
The LUMIX GH7 is Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds video workhorse and one of the most capable bodies in this group: a 25.2MP cinema-style body with IBIS, internal ProRes, dual CFexpress-B and SD UHS-II slots, and a deep codec toolset in an 805g package. It's the pick for video shooters who value compact MFT glass and recording flexibility. Skip it if you're chasing the shallow depth-of-field and noise advantages of a full-frame sensor.
