With a host of body-mounted controls, interchangeable lenses and DSLR-like image quality, the GF1 caught the attention of enthusiast photographers looking for a lightweight and discreet alternative to their DSLR kit.</p><p>With the arrival of the more consumer-orientated Panasonic Lumix GF2 in 2010, it was not until the GX1 was launched at the end of 2011 that we saw a natural successor to the GF1. While well received, the GX1 soon found itself eclipsed by a host of new competitors, such as the 24.3-million-pixel Sony NEX-7 and 16.3-million-pixel Fujifilm X-E1. These offered a number of benefits over the diminutive GX1, but perhaps most importantly for the serious photographer was that both models featured a built-in electronic viewfinder.</p><p>Facing such intense competition, Panasonic has gone back to the drawing board, and the result is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7. The jump in numbering reflects Panasonic's feeling that this new model is a massive leap from the GX1 that it replaces, with a host of new and improved features. Promising to be the best Lumix model yet, how does the GX7 stack up?Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 - Features</p><p><a href="http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/reviews/compactsystemcameras/129424/1/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gx7-review-preview">Keep reading...</a></p>
