Some cameras are more prone to overheating than others, leading some photographers and videographers to come up with creative solutions for keeping their sensors cool. Industrial designer Eric Strebel came up with a solution that looks pretty unusual: he customized a computer heat sink so that it can be mounted to the back of a Panasonic GF7.
You can tell that "selfies" are a big trend right now by the fact that more and more camera companies are touting it as a feature for their new models. Less than a week after Fuji launched a "selfie-ready" mirrorless camera, the X-A2, Panasonic is unveiling its own: the GF7.
A followup to the GF6, the GF7 is an entry level Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera that offers "modern selfie shooting features," something Panasonic calls "one of the world's most powerful trends."
Here's the first leaked photo of the upcoming Panasonic GF7, the followup to the GF6. As you can see, the company is going after a much more "retro" look with this camera line (as is popular in the industry right now).
The camera is rumored to have a 16-megapixel Four Thirds sensor, an ISO range of 200 to 25600, and a 1.04-million-dot tilting LCD screen that swings open 180 degrees.
