The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 announced in August 2013, is a Micro Four Thirds compact mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. It was Panasonic's first Micro Four Thirds camera with a built-in in body stabilization system (IBIS) and has built-in EVF (not optional anymore).[1] Panasonic only uses 2 -axis stabilization and behind 5-axis stabilization, resulting in blurriness starting at 1/5 of a second.[2]
