Good camera at a good price.
Still 650€ (about 800$) at Amazon in Germany…. Why do we have to pay so much more here (and if anyone says taxes. Taxes account for about 150$ of the difference….)
You guys have more money to spend. That’s why. 😉
superb camera – Touch LCD with fantastic Touch To Focus – loaded with features – I have two –
Well done .
The GX7 intend a true photography tool .
That’s an amazing price. I wish the prices were anything like this in Canada, I would definitely go for it.
MFT cameras don’t hold their value for s**t.
Outside Europe, maybe yes.
Good for buyers. It means you can get amazing value with a little patience.
@ Johnny: if you’ve got cash to spare I will happily send you my bank details…
As a GX7 owner I am surprised by the very favorable pricing of this powerful device. I paid much more when it appeared and do not regret it for a second. Contrarily to my Nikon FF equipment I use the GX7 several times per week (convenient carry on).
Your comment stills sounds stupid.
Does the GX7 hold value for YOU?
No matter how much you paid for it, or how much it goes for now, if you truly own one, do you feel you got YOUR money’s worth from it?
Besides, you invest in lenses. Only a fool invest in bodies.
I also own a GX7 and I am happy that I have bought it so early. I have hundrets of photos of my kid growing up.
If I bought it today, I might have saved a few hundret bucks, but those images are worth it!
Yes…always buy a camera as an investment. That way in a few years you’ll make money selling it used for more than you purchased it…..
Better to buys some houses/shares, you can get a lot more in return, and there is rent for income too while you are at it, unlike camera, you get 0 return except for some personal pleasures
Cameras don’t hold their value for s**t. In fact, any consumer electronics don’t hold their value for s**t.
Only lenses hold value.
waiting for it to drop further… then i’ll snap it up
Snap one up – it’s a keeper
If you want an awesome video camera, this is probably the best value on the market. The motion pictures out of this thing are incredible.
This often is like a confirmation that the successor is about to be announced. I hope so because I am looking forward to an improved gx8.
Or maybe there is no GX serie anymore? i hope no because i like so much my gx7.
Would like all news functions from GH4 with a mic input in a RF style.
The GX line definitely will be retain simply because it’s a flagship camera .
I sure hope there will be a GX8 or a GX7 II. I think they need to keep up with Sony with their a51000 and A6000. Tech wise. I still think the GX7 is a much nicer to use camera and love the soft Fn keys along with the 4 physical the nice Touch LCD etc. so improved fast tracking focus a must and impoved video options. GX7 is loaded with features but needs few improvements to compete. Sony has an advantage with the larger sensor and the Sony name so Panasonic need to offer a bit more and at a lower price to compete I think the GX7 is very much underestimated and so many pick the OMD 10 or 5 because of looks or the Nex6 because of lower price. So hopefully we will have a GX8 soon with all the GX7 stuff but better like the Gh3 to GH4
Marvelous camera, it’s a shame that the prices drop like that.
If only it was PAL!
Pisses me off that manufacturers don’t simply make all cameras be world cameras!
Couldn’t agree more. As if people don’t travel! There is no reason for this other than saving money on some taxes. Just make the item more expensive but give us this feature!
No, it isn’t about taxes! (that is the recording limit)
It wouldn’t cost anything extra at all to make them all be world cams.
After all, this is 2014 (nearly 2015!), and people travel now!
Much better deal than the G6 with kit lens for 549.00
The GH3 is $700 right now on Amazon!

I’ll buy one at £250 😉
Great price. I love this camera, I have a GH2 and a NEX-5N and I can say the GX7 is better. I just miss the HDMI output dont work while recording.

Anyone has an idea how to get this beauty to India (or Kuwait)???
Let’s hope the new GX8 fixes the old problems in the GX7 – EVF, IBIS, mike input, and has some new updated specs to keep up with the latest models, like 4K video. and 20 or more MPs.
the old bulshit must go out. the new Propaganda sry. marketing-year 2015 is coming.
new nice blinki blinki for the masses and sheeeps, and the permanetobsolence of trash,
smartphone, smartphone and 4k , 4k and more 4k kills the market. if you have such a cam, you
do not get a nex(t) of thi A(lpha) blinkis and e(os) nds in a big pile of paperwars und rumors.
So is 2015 a full-hd cam worthless itselve? Is this the year i will buy my next cam?
For shure, if i get a Gh-3 for blodyrebate and 349,90,- yes, let it piss of. Sonys you get for a
coke and 3 burgers ( 6 tomatoes) butifull “old” NIkon d3200 for 149,- in a shop…
So, yes… and always the better the worse funy.
Sooo lets begin the new year in some days, hope all here are in best healthy and happy, and we
have peace… thats the only thing, worth and make films and photos.. yap.
but not with a braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand new camera, because mony goes for
much more other things, maybe lenses? ( last worth claim?)
happy christmass..
Yes. I don’t think the same thoughts as you, place pragmatic value on things you do not, so I am therefore stupid and no more intelligent than a domesticated farm animal.
Luckily, you’re above all that, eh?
Impressive word salad though. My drunken uncle couldn’t have said it better.
at 300€ it would be worth it.
They only achieved one thing – people who bought this at launch will feel ripped off and won’t bother buying another model until the price drops to a half. That being said, for this price it’s an unbelievable deal.
I bought one is year ago. No regrets. It’s been an awesome camera for me. I spent $750.
I believe I got $250 bucks worth out of this camera during 2014.
Made 3 documentaries with it and a short film. Good value I’d say.
Bought mine with the kit lens on Ebay brand new for $620 about a month and a half ago. Already made up 1/2 the price with 2 real estate shoots. Fantastic Camera – best camera i’ve ever owned and I look forward to using it for the next 3-5 years. Thankfully, I’m not one of those that need to get the latest and greatest every year because the have some sort of feature/bug complex. This camera more than meets my needs and I’ll be happy for it for a while (I had my previous camera, a d200 nikon, for over 6 years!)
Good camera for the price, very customizable and solid. Though. I presonally prefer the handling of the E-M1, and the EVF of the E-M1 is soooo much better. A better EVF would be nice in the next top of the line Panasonic, together with a better IBS…
