The Panasonic G7 is the consumer hybrid camera of the year at Dpreview.
Dpreview just posted the list of winners of their PIX 2015 awards. And the Panasonic G7 won in the consumer hybrid camera category. DP writes:
The G7 disguises itself as just another entry/mid-level ILC but, more so than almost any of its rivals, it’s as much a video camera as it is a stills camera. Above and beyond the specifications, it’s the well-implemented touchscreen interface and relatively high bitrate video capture that make the G7 such a nice camera to shoot video with. The Micro Four Thirds lens mount means that the G7 can be used with a wide variety of lenses, including cine lenses via adaptor, or provide excellent image quality with the system’s own lenses.
