Panasonic's mirrorless Lumix GF7 is a $600 selfie shooter

Panasonic is getting in on the selfie-first trend with the new mass-market Lumix GF7 — a 16-megapixel interchangeable lens camera which comes with a flippable LCD monitor, secondary left-hand shutter button, and a hands-free mode that shoots when the subject waves. The GF7 is the latest Panasonic to use the Micro Four Thirds sensor (indeed, it’s got the same sensor and Venus processing engine as the earlier Lumix GX7) and is set to go on sale in March this year for $599 (£429). Panasonic is still aiming at the dedicated amateur with this camera, although the traditional stylings and leather-touch grip are definitely a step up in terms of style from the previous plastic-molded GF6 line. The GF7 is also available in a range of colors (black, brown, pink, and orange), although these appear to be region-specific.
