There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

Do I recommend this camera for pictures as in your case? Well the auto focus is pretty quick and accurate and if you're seeking a telephoto type image, you get double "zoom" (thanks to its crop factor of approx. 2). If you're going to be taking mostly wide angle pictures, Panasonic offers some reasonable priced primes which are fast as hell and will do the job. If you're going to need wide zooms, the only ones Panasonic makes are their kit lenses which frankly speaking are decent, but they really won't compete with the vast array of lenses of different focal lengths of Sony's arsenal of compatible lenses.
Have I been talking only about the G7? Yes, and I was considering one of those two cameras (those exact two) just like you are right now back when I was deciding to get a camera. My choosing of the G7? Well I wanted a solid video camera, which in terms of video the G7 is definitely better than the a6000. The G7 also had a microphone jack, and the screen was flip out as well.
In terms of pictures, it's pretty 50/50. The Panasonic has great low light, fast auto focus, an extremely accurate viewfinder, and has tons of shooting modes than many professionals can even take advantage of. The bad side? Lack of in camera stabilization, MFT sensor (depends on your use case), and not as many lenses. I have a friend who owns the Sony a6000 with the 16-50mm lens and both cameras are great. The G7 seems to be more bang for the buck in my opinion and has more features, but again, this all depends on your use case. Sony has a reputation for having great auto focus so that could be a big factor for you as well. Go with your gut. Either way, you're not gonna have a bad camera for sure.
