Fujifilm X-A7 vs Panasonic Lumix GH5

1-second in between the shutter press and image capture with the kit lens. It's a little slower than the X-T30 (0.05-second), but is decidedly more consistent than the X-A5, which could focus as fast when it used its limited phase detection coverage area, but slowed to as long as 0.5-second when focusing away from the central area of the frame

Now there are some poor lenses too, but if you are willing to pay a little more I have found all of the Panny/Leica and Olympus Zuiko lenses to be very, very good.

The Fujifilm X-A7 ($699.95 with 15-45mm lens) is the latest entry in the company's entry-level mirrorless camera series. It's built around a touch-based interface, easy enough for casual snappers to use, but with manual controls to help you learn the craft. Image quality is excellent, autofocus is vastly improved versus the previous-generation X-A5, and 4K video recording is an option

This is an amazing little package that can give cameras 4 times more expensive a run for their money. The Lumix DC-GH5 is blurring the lines between prosumer and professional with features like 4k at 60p, 10-bit 4:2:2 recorded internally, plus many more. Future firmware updates will blur those lines even further with a 400Mbp/s bit rate codec! This is an exciting camera that will give you stunning photos and videos (admittedly more on the video side). A must own for the aspiring photographer/filmmaker on a budget

Clean HDMI out with 1080p/60 and 4k/30 through HDMI. But 4k is only delivered when you press the physical shutter or record button in movie mode, otherwise it is just the default 1080p/60 idle output. The only downside to 4k output is that OBS only recognizes it when set to device default and you have to press the record button again to get access to other resolutions and framerates. I think the continuous autofocus is decent but annoying

But for us, where does this fit in the video camera world? And i mean the only real drawback to it. I can see is if you need good, continuous autofocu...

The product box was pre-opened I could tell from the sides and some equipment inside did not have plastic bag coverage. The AF is poor quality compared to other cameras. a bit disappointed with Fujifilm. I am planning on buying the T-4 but am now hesitant after this product

Almost perfect, the best 4K color depth video camera (prosumer) BUT for the autofocus problems in keeping the main subject in focus. Firmware update to support 4:2:2 in 10bit color is slow and unavailable as of August 2017. Recommend gimble stabilizer even with a LUMIX IS lens.

I'm looking for something below £750 / $1000 (preferably well below), a general-use camera for travelling, taking out on walks, to museums, etc. Some low-light, but usually the grey British outdoors. Traits I'm looking for are.

A GH5 or G9 is the way to go for you, in my opinion. Unless you’re spending around 3000$/£ or more, full frame makes no sense - you’ll be stuck with one kit lens and you’ll need another grand to get another. In APS-C land, Canon and Nikon have nothing interesting, only the more recent Fuji X series cameras are seriously capable video cameras, but at the price point of a GH5 they’re generally inferior.

The most important of which is that it needed to be small and lightweight. I love my DSLR - and when I'm shooting portraits at a park or getting shot of the milky way, that camera is my go to. But for every day walking around, I needed something that I can gather quickly and start shooting. A cell phone is ok, but they lack the sensor size, dynamic range, low light performance and a decent optical zoom

This camera is a powerhouse for the price. Full disclosure, my first camera was a Panasonic SD camcorder back in 2005, then switched to a Canon Pro camcorder in 2009, then jumped on the Panasonic train again with the GH3 and was using them until I picked up the GH5. The image is amazing, but that's not news. What is news - and hopefully will not be overlooked - is how much this camera is amazing to use
