Panasonic rules the roost when it comes to dinky compact system cameras, with 2013's Lumix GM1 establishing a strong position in the market.How to update
The Micro-Four-Thirds 16-Mpix Panasonic DMC-GM5 is a rangefinder-style mirrorless model with an attractive feature set, including a high-resolution EVF and some advanced video functionality — as well as, of course, access to a large range of native-mount lenses from Panasonic and Olympus, in addition to a growing number from third parties. Our lab tests show that the camera sensor performs very well, but that’s only a part of the imaging chain. How well does this camera perform when coupled with some of the best performing lenses in the range? Read on to find out.
Panasonic's tiny CSC has the imaging power of a full-size compact system camera
The small but notable change of swapping a built-in flash for an EVF is welcome, but the price...
Your phone's got nothing on these
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GM5 is a very compact mirrorless camera that takes crisp photos, but you have to be able to live with smaller controls.
Panasonic's new baby CSC is the Lumix DMC-GM5, a camera that continues the theme of miniature styling established by the Lumix DMC-GM1 only a year ago. For those who need a refresher, the GM1 is the almost inconceivably small interchangeable lens camera bearing a 16MP Four Thirds sensor and Micro Four Thirds lens mount. The GM5 is an addition to the range, rather than a replacement for the GM1, bringing some small (that's the theme here) but notable new features to the lineup.
The Lumix DMC-GM1 was Panasonic's first shot at making a mirrorless camera smaller than most prosumer compact cameras. The DMC-GM5 is Panasonic's second attempt at this. At first glance, the GM5 looks to be a dead ringer for the GM1, but it is heavier by 7g, taller by 5mm and thicker by 6mm. Still, its body is no larger than...
Panasonic adds a built-in EVF with 1.166 million dots to its ultra-compact M4/3 CSC and replaces the built-in flash with a separate flashgun.

Panasonic has announced the stylish and compact Lumix DMC-GM5 Digital Single Lens Mirrorless (DSLM) camera. With a 16-megapixel Live MOS image sensor and the Venus Engine, the GM5 can record Full 1080p HD videos at stereo sound at 24-60 frames-per-second in a variety of automatic and manual modes. There's
Let’s be clear. I’m not a small camera kind of guy. I’m the guy who sprints 200m up a steep hill laden with three DSLR bodies and long lenses to get a King of the Mountain finish line shot. That’s a working day for me. So if you hand me a featherweight, palm-sized camera, don’t […]
