Yesterday, Panasonic announced the GH7, a video-packed powerhouse of a camera that looks to be almost perfect. The only compromise? The Micro Four Thirds sensor. So we knew there would be a lot of folks asking: why would you spend $2,000 for the GH7 when the S5IIX exists? Chris Niccolls, Jordan Drake, and Jaron Schneider discuss.
