Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 Black 2015
The 16MP Live MOS sensor and Venus Engine 9 processor enable 4K video and 8 fps burst shooting, making this a capable hybrid for its class. The bundled accessory kit adds immediate value for new users, though the camera lacks in-body stabilization and weather sealing. This body-only option is best for budget-conscious beginners who want to learn on a mirrorless system with 4K capability.
