Panasonic LUMIX G7
Score: 68/100
Fujifilm X-T5 Silver
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Fujifilm X-T5 is a compact APS-C mirrorless camera featuring a 40.2 MP sensor, 7-stop IBIS and 6.2K video, delivering high-resolution stills and advanced video capabilities. Trade-offs include the lack of a built-in flash, uncertain weather sealing and a non-articulating screen. Best for photographers and creators who prioritize resolution and stabilization while accepting a modestly sealed body.
The Panasonic LUMIX G7 is a 2015 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera offering 16 MP resolution, 4K video and a fast 0.07-second autofocus in an ergonomic DSLR-style body. Its lack of in-body stabilization, heavier build and limited weather protection make it less ideal for demanding outdoor work. It suits hybrid shooters and vloggers who value 4K capability and robust controls at an affordable price.

Professional reviewers commend the G7 for its 4K video, high-resolution EVF and ergonomic controls, positioning it as a capable hybrid for creators. However, they note the modest sensor upgrade, lack of weather-sealing and the absence of in-body stabilization as drawbacks that keep it from being a premium offering.
Everyday users appreciate the affordable 4K capability, the flexible flip-out screen and the sharp kit lens, finding the camera easy for sharing images via Wi-Fi. Recurring frustrations center on short battery life during video, occasional autofocus hunting in dim light, overheating in long recordings, and a menu system that can overwhelm newcomers.
Professional reviewers commend the X-T5 for delivering a high-resolution 40 MP sensor, industry-leading 7-stop IBIS, and advanced 6.2K video with RAW output, all while retaining Fujifilm's beloved dial-centric ergonomics. Criticisms focus on the missing built-in flash, ambiguous weather sealing, and the video crop in the highest-resolution mode.
Everyday users appreciate the X-T5's high-resolution sensor, lightweight body, and intuitive dial layout, often citing the camera's ability to deliver detailed images while remaining portable. However, potential buyers express concerns about limited battery endurance and the absence of a built-in flash, especially for travel and low-light situations.
