Sony ZV-1 vs Panasonic Lumix G7

It is a huge misstep, but this cameras, touchscreen, is only for focusing. But I find it's a great compromise. If you want decent color a little more ...

On the left shoulder you'll find the drive-mode dial with options for time-lapse/stop-motion animation (this is one of the few cameras I've seen with a direct-access control for that); self-timer, exposure bracketing (up to seven shots in 1/3-stop, 2/3- and 1-stop intervals); the aforementioned 4K photo and 4K burst options; normal burst mode; and single-shot mode. Among the G7's drive modes you'll find 4K photo and time lapse/stop motion animation.

The batteries don’t hold up. I have to switch my battery out every 30-45 minutes and the camera over heats after 2hrs of live streaming. nice idea but not the best live streaming camera option for me.

I currently have a Lumix G7 which is absolutely awesome for video, have used it for about 5 years no complaints. However, for the past year or so i've been leaning more and more towards photography instead and that's where i find the G7 to be a bit lacking, especially in low light situations.

It also has a really nice fast lens, which is helpful if you're shooting in low light situations. Another really helpful feature is um, something call...

This is where panasonic has profiled its lenses when they're out of focus. So it actually knows when they're our focus which narrow she needs to refoc...
