"I received a Panasonic LUMIX G7 camera. All opinions are my own.”
Like many moms, I’ve been taking my “good” photos with a DSLR and my spur-of-the-moment photos and videos with my phone. But I didn’t always get a get good quality with my phone, didn’t get a great shot with the DSLR, or didn’t want to lug the DSLR around with me in the first place.
And I have to say, I was doing it all wrong. This camera, the Panasonic LUMIX G7, is EXACTLY what I’ve needed. I didn’t even know the technology existed and am so excited about being able to use it. I’m still learning all of the features, but everything I’ve played with so far is SO COOL.
I essentially just take a video with the 4K setting and can then use it for video and photos. By going back through the video, I can pick out the exact frames that I want for pictures. Clear, amazing pictures, frame after frame after frame.
So I never miss the perfect moment when my kids are playing sports or moving quickly. And I get video at the same time. All in a more compact camera than the one I’ve been dragging around for years. It’s seriously awesome!
I have more to learn, but am already seriously hooked. I wish I’d gotten this years ago!
