The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5, a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mirrorless camera introduced in 2012, updates the G3 with a 16MP Live MOS sensor, Panasonic's Venus Engine 7 FHD, ISO sensitivity from 160 to 12,800, a 1.44-million-dot electronic viewfinder (EVF) with eye-detection autofocus activation, and a 920,000 dots 3-inch fully articulated touchscreen.
The camera is targeted at intermediate photographers looking to upgrade from a compact camera or an entry-level DSLR.
The model is set with a full complement of manual controls and customizable buttons, as well as an 'Intelligent Auto' mode for less experienced users.
The improved DSLR-style body comes with an enlarged rubber grip for better ergonomics, a new multifunction lever adjacent to the shutter button, function button assignments, an electronic level gauge, and a 'pinpoint' focusing aid that adds to the versatility of the camera.
The fully articulated touchscreen tilts and rotates for flexible viewing angles, and can be set to display an integrated horizon indicator, with the eye sensor automatically switching the display between the LCD and the electronic viewfinder.
The G5 is also said to be very impressive with its 6 fps continuous shooting, and a very competitive 0.4-second shot-to-shot times, and image quality with excellent noise control at base ISO.
The Lumix DMC-G5 is also a good choice for Micro Four Thirds enthusiasts with a strong interest in legacy camera systems, as the model sits at an interesting intersection of compact system camera design and DSLR-like handling.

The Panasonic Lumix G5 is a little larger and heavier than the G3 model that it follows. It measures 119.9 x 83.2 x 70.8mm and weighs 346 grams body only. Though well-built with a high-quality aluminium body, and apart from the rubberized handgrip and rear thumb grip, the rest of the body is a glossy plastic finish.

Images here were shot on the Lumix G 14mm f/2.5 Asph., a super compact MFT (Micro Four Thirds) prime acknowledged for sharpness and excellent edge performance. The lens, equivalent to a 28mm wide-angle on a 35mm full-frame camera, is ideal for landscapes, snapshots, and indoor photography. It is a 6-element in 5 groups with 3 aspherical elements design, measures 20.5 mm thick, weighs 55 grams, and takes 46mm filters.
