Olympus pen e p7 vs panasonic lumix gh5 ii?

Both cameras share the same 20.3-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor and in-body stabilisation, and both were announced in 2021. They differ in purpose. The Olympus PEN E-P7 is a small, rangefinder-style body with a colour and monochrome switch, which suits everyday shooting. The Panasonic Lumix GH5 II is the video-focused choice, updated with live streaming and better video specs.

For stills and a compact setup, I'd pick the E-P7. For video, the GH5 II is the one. Both take the same lenses, so these are sensible starting points:

• Olympus M.Zuiko 12-45mm f/4 PRO for an everyday zoom
• Panasonic Leica DG 25mm f/1.4 II for a fast standard prime
• Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO if you want one lens for almost everything
