I purchased this as a every day walk around camera. There is no way I could carry my DSLR everywhere, like I do this camera.
Features, control and image quality of this, are excellent. I have no complaints what so ever. 
It goes with me everywhere, and I've been able to capture pictures that I would have missed other wise.
OK, you're not going to get the IQ of a APS-C or FF DSLR...but you are going to take this, when the thought of lugging around the weight and bulk of a DSLR is just too much.

GET IT WHILE IT LASTS

I got into digital with an Olympus e510, then a 620.  Then I went  to Samsung, now I'm back with micro 43 in the form of the GX7.  I put it to the test taking some company pictures, which turned out to be a big hit.  I could have done just as well with the Samsung NX20, but I got tired of  waiting for Samsung to expand its lens collection.  I find the difference between the GX7 and my APS-c system to be minimal.  I'm sure I would have a different opinion if I were comparing it to the NX-1, but that's out of my range for now.  I like the rangefinder styling more than I thought I would. The tilt screen is a loss for me over the articulated screen I used to have, but the touch screen takes some of the loss away. I may get the GX8 if it ever gets this cheep, but I really hope Panasonic creates a GX7 mark 2, closer
 in size to the GX7 with an articulated screen.

Back to (micro) 4/3

So far this camera meets and exceeds all my expectations...Having delt with Adorama in the past, I was again pleased by their "on top" shipping, and notification of the UPS tracking...

great service and fast shipping

Solidly built and a solid performer. The results you get are somewhere between gratifying and stunning, and the MFT system with all its lenses and accessories is a big plus. The menus take some getting used to, but they're pretty logical. I downloaded the full advanced manual and put it on my iPad so I can study it conveniently. 

I'm very pleased with this DMC-GX7, so who not five stars? They left out the mic input, and I want to make some videos.

One of the Best

If I could give 4.5 I would but I'll rate this 5 as in my opinion this is a bit closer to 5 than 4.
First the cons: a bit large, coming from the GF3 felt this difference, one is pocketable, the GX7 only for larger pockets, considering the idea of M4/3 this should be a target everytime. This camera eventually locks on me or take much longer than average time to perform usual operations like reviewing images. Not sure if is something specific about my camera or the GX7 in general, need to do some research...
Due to the customization allowed for this camera (a positive for me) is hard to become familiarized with it. Just a matter of practice I know but coming from other friendlier cameras this can be relevant for some.
Another one I can think of is the lack of 2nd curtain slow sync in the built-in flash, only slow sync. For those like me who uses the built-in as fill a lot this can be relevant.
Last but not least I don't agree with manufacturer decision of intentionally crippling their cameras so it doesn't compete with higher-end models. The GX7 could offer more but it doesn't. I won't get into the details as there are plenty online out there - search for the hacks available for many Lumix models.
But the pros are so many! It's my first Wi-fi enabled camera and the main reason I got the GX7, after you get the hang of it it's pretty easy to setup. I prefer using the Wi-fi direct conection as if I'm already connected to a Wi-fi network I won't loose this connection and keep online sharing whatever I want. NFC triggers the usual Wi-fi connection so I keep it deactivated but can be useful for some.
Image quality is a step up from older generations like the GF3. I was already happy! The tiltable viewfinder is great contributing better than other cameras to the small form, eletronic shutter even greater, focus peaking allows for easy manual focus shots... The other main reason why I chose this model was the built-in image stabilization. Great! Online reviewers say it's not that great compared with Olympus 5-axis but this one satisfy me. 
Great purchase, extremely satisfied with it. Recommended!

Great images anywhere

VERY GOOD AND HANDY CAMERA

I love this camera.  I was using the Olympus OMD and just could never get totally comfortable with the menu and the ergonomics.  The GX7 is much more "user friendly" and has excellent IQ.  A truly wonderful fun camera.  It makes me look for every excuse to take pictures.  I have been dealing with Adorama for many years, and as always the order was handled very nicely.  I really would like to thank Al Lefko for making it such a pleasure to call Adorama.

Glad to be back with Panasonic

The  GX7 is an  amazing  camera. from its  size to  quality of  lens, to the  shear abilities  of the camera itself . 
It  is clearly not ment for   novices  in  photography , if your looking for a  point and shoot  you really are  barking up the  wrong tree. 
This  camera is  at  home  in the hands of  a   Photo Pro  as it  is   the  avid  Photo traveler. The only reason i did not give it  5 stars  was  i felt  there were some things that  Panasonic  did not think through  , i  totally believe they will  remedy  those in the future. Non of which  would  impact   the average user.

The  Future of  Photography

I travel a lot and having a light but professional camera is essential. Because of its size it is unobtrusive when photographing or shooting video in places where theft or other issues may arise. It does not look like an expensive camera but the photographs and videos are, in my estimation, equal to the "high end" DSLRs. The stabilization in the camera and lenses are great for capturing spontaneous events. I have yet to find any problems or issues with the functioning of the camera. I would encourage any level of photographer or videographer to purchase this camera.
