Panasonic Lumix G7

Yes, the G7 records 4K video at up to 30p, with a 3840 by 2160 frame size in its 4K mode ([Panasonic specifications](https://help.na.panasonic.com/answers/features-and-specifications-lumix-g-series-dmc-g7/)). It was announced in 2015, which helps explain why it remains attractive as an inexpensive entry-level 4K camera.

The G7 uses the Micro Four Thirds system, so it accepts compatible Micro Four Thirds lenses. That gives users access to a broad compact lens ecosystem rather than locking them into a fixed-lens camera.

Yes, Panasonic lists a 3.5 mm microphone jack for the G7 ([Panasonic specifications](https://help.na.panasonic.com/answers/features-and-specifications-lumix-g-series-dmc-g7/)). An external mic is useful for vlogging because the built-in camera microphone is close to the body and can capture handling noise.

The G7 does not provide sensor-shift in-body stabilization like newer stabilized mirrorless bodies. For handheld video, users generally rely on an optically stabilized lens, a tripod, or a gimbal.
