For many people, when they think of Panasonic cameras, the GH line might be the first model that pops into their heads. The GH lineup of hybrid cameras has long been renowned for its video pedigree, with the Lumix GH6 especially being a fan-favourite for independent filmmakers.

However, despite the GH6's brilliance, there was one glaring omission - phase detect autofocus.

imageThe GH6 was released just a few months prior to the Lumix S5 II, which debuted Panasonic's modern autofocus system and finally brought Lumix AF into competition with the likes of Sony and Canon. But this left many observers and potential buyers, wondering why Panasonic didn't delay the GH6 release to include this feature.

Panasonic is finally on course to correct this misstep with the GH7, which features a brand new sensor, processing engine and, yes, phasedetect autofocus. With the GH6 basically getting everything else right though, then surely this is an open goal for Panasonic?

If you don't spot the logo, you might not even notice this is a new model.

The Panasonic Lumix GH7 recycles the previous model's design, although there is nothing wrong with that, as the GH6 made some strides with robust and ergonomic design.
