Panasonic Lumix GH7 (2024)

The GH7 is the port-richest camera in its class: a full-size HDMI Type A that genuinely earns an HDMI 2.1 rating (C4K/4K up to 120p 4:2:2 10-bit plus 12-bit RAW output), a 10Gbps USB-C with 27W PD that records straight to external SSDs, and separate 3.5mm mic and headphone jacks. Storage pairs a CFexpress Type B slot with a UHS-II SD slot, and 32-bit float XLR audio arrives via the optional DMW-XLR2 hotshoe unit rather than a body port.

Notes & Compatibility

HDMI modeled 2.1: Panasonic’s manual confirms C4K/4K 120p 4:2:2 10-bit output (>18Gbps) plus 12-bit RAW to Atomos/Blackmagic — Panasonic itself lists only ‘HDMI Type A’. Slot 1 is CFexpress Type B — prose (not a palette connector); Slot 2 SD UHS-II modeled. Kept in prose: 2.5mm remote jack, flash-synchro socket doubling as timecode IN/OUT via supplied BNC conversion cable, DMW-XLR2 hotshoe XLR adapter. No Ethernet on the body.
