While the G7 is a good camera as its light, has lots of functions and dials there are two main problems.

1. When recording video for some unknown reason the camera tried to re-focus by going out of focus then in focus again, which can ruin some good video shots.

This is solved by manual focussing, also area focussing does better with this camera, but it could be defeated by moving subjects.

2. I have not experienced this but I'm told that in certain conditions this camera has camera shake.

With other Panasonic models similar to the G7 have these problems been solved and on what model cameras?

Some of the newer models do better with the shutter, and this camera has no Ibis, so you can buy one that has that easily now and look for it when purchassing.
