The latest DSLR-styled model in Panasonic’s compact system camera range has an updated 16.05-million-pixel sensor and new Venus 7 HD II engine processor. Read the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 review to find out what we think
The Panasonic Lumix G5 builds on the success of previous G-series models to deliver a solid all-round camera.
It’s easy to see that mirrorless cameras have swamped the market, with models from Panasonic, Sony, Pentax, Olympus — even Canon! — and others, kicking the heels of the budget DSLRs. Buyers like the small size, ease of use and access to a range of high quality lenses; in the case of this camera, you […]
Not everybody wants a full DSLR and not everybody is content with the camera on their smartphone. That’s a difficult segment to fill, but Panasonic believes it has the line-up necessary with …
Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-G5K offers DSLR image quality in a more compact body, with an intuitive interface that makes it advanced features more approachable to novices.
Panasonic is adding its ninth model to its growing Lumix G-series lineup. In July, the Japanese electronics giant announced the Lumix DMC G5 would replace the Lumix DMC G3. Like its predecessor, the G5 taps the increasingly popular mirrorless Micro Four Thirds technology that Panasonic co-developed back in 2008 with its cross-town Tokyo rival Olympus.
Panasonic G5 is a 16.0MP Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a Four Thirds sized CMOS sensor and Micro Four Thirds mount. Read our G5 review to find its pros and cons.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 edges out some other excellent cameras to earn our Editors' Choice award for compact interchangeable lens cameras under $1,000.
Panasonic's latest interchangeable lens camera, the well-built Lumix DMC-G5, produces consistently good output but it costs too much.
With all the retro-styled mirrorless cameras today, the traditional DSLR form factor seems relegated to nothing but, well, DSLRs. The Panasonic G5 is a mirrorless camera clinging hard to the classic DSLR mold. But it's smaller—and much cheaper.
We compare the latest Micro Four Thirds cameras from Olympus and Panasonic, the Panasonic Lumix G5 and Olympus OM-D E-M5.
Panasonic G5 review, find out how the G5 stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
IntroQualitySamplesVerdictIntro The Panasonic Lumix G5 is a 16 Megapixel mirrorless compact system camera based on the Micro Four Thirds standard which Panasonic co-developed with Olympus. Panasonic now refers to mirrorless system cameras as DSLMs, or Digital Single Lens Mirrorless, but we’re sticking with the term compact system cameras for now. Announced in July 2012, the…
This is a small Micro Four Thirds camera that can take different lenses and offers very good image quality
Panasonic Australia announced a huge update to its Lumix camera range last week, adding smaller, lighter and faster tech to its range. So what’s the damage to your wallet likely to be, and are they any good? We went hands on in the freezing cold light of rural dawn to...
