Thanks Shane - super useful video! Have bookmarked it.

Just got mine and just wanted to say thank you so much for doing this video I've now got my set up thw way I wanted thank you

Try with lumix 20mm f1.7 . Which have very slow focus and dont have autofocus continues

I wish it was internal zoom with power zoom. I really wish ALL zoom lenses were internal zoom with power zoom.

Great review since autofocus always depends on so many factors…lenses, subject, background…thank you for all the effort 🏆🏆

Great video! Would you mind sharing your AF settings for this?

I’ve tried this hdmi to usb cable on 3 monitors and it’s still not working for me

Hugely appreciated! The hard yards! Was it version 1 of the 25mm f/1.4 you were testing or version 2?

thank you bro the pdaf work good with 1080p 50/60 ff mode ?

That Leica 12mm 1.4 was lifesaving!!!! I was gonna pre-buy one for the GH7 and you spared me until the Firmware gets updated! Great video!

Could you test the Olympus Pro series of lenses? 17, 25 and 45mm 1.2

Why don't you show us 4k50p & 4k100p autofocus performance ?

Excellent video. Thank you very much. Greetings from Chile.

I'd be very curious about how the new AF works with something like a Metabones speedbooster + lets say Sigma 18-35. Is it usable or still a no go with that new system? Thank you. :)

Gracias por tu tiempo :)

I only have cheap and somewhat old lenses, from your list I only have the 25mm, I also have a 12-35, 14-42, 45-150,35-100... all old and cheap lenses. How would it work for those lenses?

How do ya know wich version 12-35 2.8 you have?Thank You

As a program developer who has partnered with Panasonic for 4 years, I really don't want to talk about any of their products.

What about third party battery. Can we have dispplay of battery level with non Sony battery ?

Is the G9 ii switchable between NTSC and PAL? Or, failing that, does the G9 ii have syncroscan?

Thanks for the video, Shane. I keep forgetting it is the middle of winter down in Australia. But as American Humorist Mark Twain once wrote: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco" The GH7 looks great, but... It would have looked a lot better if it had come out two-plus years ago BEFORE the FX30 came out. I know they said they would never do it, but Panasonic really has to start thinking about aps-c format cameras, IMHO, if they want to be competitive.

Thank you for this video, I have most of these lenses and GH6, now I’m considering the GH7 😅

Cool test. I've never seen anybody do af test with almost all actual lenses at once. Good job)

nice. i have the g9ii and pre-ordered the gh7 (mostly for still photography) because of the tilt-screen, express card, locking mode dial, and a lumix rep said the g9ii is not exactly the same; gh7 has more dynamic range.

For a second I couldn’t figure out why you were dressed in such warm clothing! Well done video! As someone else noted, it would be interesting to see results with some OM(Olympus) lenses as well. Too bad the Pan 15mm 1.7 doesn’t work as well…a nice lens!

Can you test gh7 when multiple people are in frame

Do you have links on how to update fimware on lenses?

This test was awesome Thanks! I can't wait to test it with my favourite trio of Sigma 16, 30 and 56mm 1.4😃🔥

would love to see someone test EF lenses with speedbooster

All this years everyone been complaining about lumix's continuous autofocus because they been sticking with their DFD tech. Now what sorcery they have done to catch up with sony in AF performance in this shot span after they adopting phase dictect. Fuji had phase dictect since a long time and they still struggle to get it done right. If lumix had done this years ago, maybe current market situation could have been too different.

Great compilation! I have or have had all the lenses, except the 12-35 mm. Have you still got the Olympus 75mm f/1.8? It doesn't work great on my G9 ii.

the Lumix 12-60 2.8-4.0 on my G9II works great So does the 45-150.

Which lens was used in intro and at the end of the video? The blur looks very creamy! Is it 42.5 f1.2?

those tests are annoying , yes its important for it to pick up focus at close distance but more important test is how the focus sticks when moving in the frame in regular distance (when you shoot people not only yourself..)

Focus isn't smooth at this point; it is stepping through. The positive thing is that it sticks, but it still needs improvement when following. I still think they could have done a better job with the pulsing on the GH6, as all it needs to do is hold focus and not hunt.

Although I primarily a photographer with some video… with the current firmwares on both G9ii & GH7… I would go for GH7

Great to see the improvements with the 15mm! It is now most certainly usable. Do you have any Olympus lenses you can test? The G9II is a great option. The size to performance ratio is optimal IMHO.

Thank you Shane for this valuable video🙏❤️.

Great reviews always! Many thanks for your efforts. I do like to see the AF and low light performance using adapted EF lenses via speed booster. No review on this from anyone yet.

definitely looking at getting a gh7 with the 10-25mm one day (can only really justify a new body right now; going to have to get rid of my gh5ii to do it though). was there any consideration to doing this test at 100p? more frames for autofocus and seeing your face in glorious 4x slo-mo?

Have you tried Olympus and Sigma lenses with the GH7? I am a Lumix guy (G9, GH5 II, GH5s) saving up to buy the GH7. My lenses include the Olympus 8mm Fisheye, 17mm f1.8, 60mm macro, and 100-400, and the Olympus 1.4x and 2x teleconverters. One day I will get the 90 macro and the 75 1.8. Sigma I have the 16, 30, and 56 1.4's On the Lumix/Leica side I have the 7-14, 12/1.4, 12-35/2.8, 14-42 PZ, 20, 25/1.7, 30 macro, 35-100/2.8, 42.5/1.2, 45 macro, and 45-175 PZ. One day I will get the 10-25 and 25-50 zooms A lot of us use a mix of lens brands, especially Olympus and Lumix/Leica, and Sigma, but all the reviews are only addressing the Lumix/Leica lenses and ignoring Olympus and Sigma, which is not realistic compared to real world lens usage. If Panasonic are only permitting Lumix/Leica lenses in reviews then they are idiots, and being anti-user in that attitude. If they are not, can you please try out Olympus and Sigma lenses on the camera?

Awesome video! Quick question if I may. I have the GH6 and use a combo of manual and AF lenses. Would a LiDAR autofocus system give similar AF results as the GH7? Or is the PDAF better even than LiDAR?

Wow .. never dreamed with autofocus ever as Lumix user 😅… amazing video , thanks 🙏🏻

How about autofocus in less ideal lightning as in the evening?

The 20mm f1.7II works very well on my G9II, so it will probably works well on the GH7 too, the AF is fast in video, much better than on the GH6 or GH5. However it is noisy if you shoot with the internal mic on a silent room. I had some issue with my 45-175mm on my G9II though, even in AF-S with back button focus. It sometimes loses everything in focus, like the GH6 did when using most lenses below 48fps. My 45-175mm is not very sharp so maybe it is an issue with my sample, but I never had this issue with my GH6 and GH5 when using back button focus.

Your winter is our summer, stay warm. Great stuff, good to know. Thanks once again for the update and keeping us in the loop
