The Panasonic DMC-G5 isn't the best compact system camera that the manufacturer has put out, but it has a lot of great qualities that might justify a purchase. It has some manual controls that other lower-end cameras don't have, along with honest color reproduction and the ability to take decent video. Its MSRP is high, but this deal through Amazon brings it down to $347 with free shipping, putting it more in an acceptable price range.
