Released in 2024, the GH7 carries the GH6's 25.2-megapixel sensor forward while adding internal ProRes RAW recording, a genuinely significant addition that lets video professionals capture uncompressed raw footage directly to a card without an external recorder, on a body considerably smaller and lighter than most cinema cameras offering the same capability.

Panasonic also gave the GH7 a dedicated cooling fan built into the body itself, an even more integrated thermal solution than the GH6's design, letting it sustain the most demanding recording modes for genuinely extended periods without the shutdowns that plague many competing bodies. It also added phase-detect autofocus for the first time in the GH line, replacing the contrast-detect-only system that had long been a genuine point of criticism against Panasonic's video-focused bodies compared to competitors.
Panasonic also carried the GH6's active cooling fan design into the GH7, refining it further to sustain the newer body's even more demanding internal ProRes RAW recording.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the GH7's sensor differ from the GH6's?
No — Panasonic carried the GH6's 25.2-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor into the GH7 unchanged, so pixel pitch and circle of confusion match exactly between them. The GH7's real advances are in video recording capability and processing, not the imaging chip. A genuinely deliberate engineering-focus choice for this generation.
