Here we are comparing G7 and GH4, two Mirrorless cameras by Panasonic. Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 is a Advanced Mirrorless class camera and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 is a Pro Mirrorless class camera.
Panasonic G7 was introduced to the market in May 2015 and Panasonic GH4 was launched in February 2014. There is 15 months difference between G7 and GH4 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger G7, especially in sensor tech.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Panasonic G7 and Panasonic GH4 before getting into our more detailed comparison.

Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, we are going to illustrate the Panasonic G7 and Panasonic GH4 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic G7 has external dimensions of 125 x 86 x 77 mm (4.92 x 3.39 x 3.03″) and weighs 410 g (0.90 lb / 14.46 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic GH4 has external dimensions of 133 x 93 x 84 mm (5.24 x 3.66 x 3.31″) and weighs 560 g (1.23 lb / 19.75 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic G7 and the Panasonic GH4. Panasonic G7 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 8mm narrower, 7mm shorter and 7mm thinner than Panasonic GH4.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic G7 and Panasonic GH4.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Panasonic G7 is significantly lighter (150g ) than the Panasonic GH4 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Panasonic G7 and Panasonic GH4 have the same Micro Four Thirds lens mount and Four Thirds sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weight ComparisonMirrorless Cameras
G7 GH4 Min Average Max Thickness ComparisonMirrorless Cameras
G7 GH4 Min Average Max Weather SealingThanks to the weather-sealed body of the GH4, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the G7.
LCD Screen Size and FeaturesPanasonic G7 and Panasonic GH4's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.Both Panasonic G7 and Panasonic GH4 have Four Thirds sized 16.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the G7 and GH4 sensor size comparison.
Panasonic G7 and Panasonic GH4 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
The number of available lenses is a big deciding factor when choosing your interchangeable lens camera. Panasonic G7 and Panasonic GH4 have the same Micro Four Thirds lens mount and currently there are 125 native lenses available for these cameras.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 37 lenses with Image stabilization for Micro Four Thirds mount.
