Lumix GH7 dynamic range measured: Clearly beats the GH6 at low ISO!

Share

Bill Claff from Photonstophotos published the full Panasonic GH7 dynamic range measurements. Up to ISO 800 the new GH7 beats the GH6. The greatest spread is at ISO100, where the GH7 has almost a two-stop advantage over the GH6. And it holds up well against the APS-C competition:

This test shows the new GH7has an excellent dynamic range. The only way to have a visible better performance is to buy a Full Frame camera. But no Full Frame camera gives you the features the GH7 has for a price of $2,200.

GH7 at Amazon, Bhphoto, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Calumet, WexUk.
XLR unit at Amazon, Bhphoto, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Calumet, WexUk.
