    From the Manufacturer


    Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G5 Compact Digital Single Lens Mirrorless (DSLM) Camera with 14-42mm Lens, 16MP Digital Live MOS Sensor, Touch LCD, Full HD Video, Black


    The G5 Triple Threat: 16 Megapixel Sensor - Venus Engine - Spot-on Colors
    16 megapixel sensor, Venus Engine and Intelligent Resolution Technology reduce noise to produce crisp, clear gradations and true-to-life color.

    • The 16.05-megapixel Live MOS Sensor features Panasonic's original pixel-mix technology, designed exclusively to minimize noise generation. The fine wiring results in high resolution and quick processing.
    • A redesigned Venus Engine produces clear, crisp photo and video images. Its MNR (Multi-process Noise Reduction) quickly detects brightness in every part of a shot and its HDR (High Dynamic Range) allows for several pictures taken at different exposure levels to turn into a single composite picture that eliminates over-or-under-exposure. The 3DNR reduces rough edges.
    • Intelligent Resolution technology detects outlines, intricate texture, and gradation thus precisely processing pixel by pixel to render true-to-life color reproduction that is spot-on.

    LightSpeed Auto-Focus Helps you Never Miss a Shot
    Contrast AF provides higher accuracy while Light Speed AF locks on to fast moving objects.

    With contrast AF (Auto Focus) the image sensor controls your focus giving you a greater range to create your crisp, clear images. This is great for recording fast moving subjects like your little leaguer, migrating birds, or your best friend who decided to bungee jump. Contrast AF boasts higher accuracy, especially when shooting with a bright lens. And since you have a full-area AF touch, you select your desired field of vision. Additionally, Light Speed AF quickly locks onto a subject, making it possible to capture even fast moving subjects like your son, the dirt bike rider.

    Latest Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless Technology - Smaller Camera Systems Deliver Big Results
    The mirrorless, compact, light weight SLR system yield professional results with half the weight and size.

    Based on the Micro Four-Thirds system, Panasonic eliminates the bulky mirror box and pentaprism found in conventional DSLRs without compromising sensor or optical performance. Camera bodies and lenses are now dramatically smaller and lighter than traditional SLRs, making them more portable so you can take them with you virtually anywhere.

    Have the Magic Touch? Get More Creative with G5’s LCD Screen
    Shoot and play back images simply by touching the DMC-G5's rotating LCD screen

    The 920K-dot high-resolution LCD rotates 180° to the side and tilts 270° up and down offers approx. 100% of field of view. This LCD enables dynamic, artistic framing with high-angle shots and low-angle shots. The time lag of image output is minimized by approximately 18% compared with the predecessor DMC-G3 making it easier to monitor the fast-moving subject.

    Plus, high-precision touch display immediately lets you to set focus to the subject by just touching it on the screen and you can even release the shutter.

    The Level Gauge lets the camera detect the horizontal / vertical angle of view with its internal level working with the acceleration sensor. Photos shot in a portrait aspect will be automatically displayed vertically whatever lens is used.

    Show off your Creative Side
    Intelligent Auto and Creative Control filters allow styles like Star Filter to be applied to your photos within the camera.

    The Creative Control mode has been upgraded in the G5 with 14 creative filters that let you tell your photographic story. Choose from Soft Focus to Dynamic Monochrome to One Point Color or from the original filters like Expressive and Retro. With the new GUI and menu tabs, switching filter effect is extremely easy and is possible to preview via the Live View Switching. If you can't decide, your G5 will recommend the one that bet fits your scene in iA (Intelligent Auto) or iA Plus mode. While you're in iA Plus, adjust your defocusing area in the background, exposure, and white balance.

    New to Advanced Cameras? Scene Guide Shows You Off, Pro-style
    Scene Guide can help you select the best settings for your subjects from city lights to rippling waves.

    If you're just learning how to maneuver the interchangeable lens system, don't worry.

    Beautiful photos don't have to cost you thousands of dollars.
    I've been wanting to try a different camera for a while, now. I've been an avid photography hobbyist for a very long time and have used a wide assortment of equipment through the years. After my sister ruined my first DSLR camera and made no attempt to pay me for it, I just bought an advanced point and shoot to use for a while until I found what I really wanted. The advanced p&s cameras are pretty nice and really can perform just as well as a DSLR on many levels if you're into programming your own settings. About a year and a half ago I bought the Lumix DMC-GF3. It's a micro 4/3 camera. It really does take stunning pictures. The detail was exceptional. I just have a problem with cameras that don't have a viewfinder. I don't like the "camera phone" feel of cameras without viewfinders. While I understand that the EVF allows you to see things you can't see in the viewfinder once you set it properly, the G5 has an EVF that I can use if needed. Having both is a major plus for me. So, I decided to sell the GF3 and start looking for something else. I've used many different brands but have come to love Panasonic, and because I already had two lenses for my GF3, I decided to go with another Panasonic micro 4/3. Not knowing how well I would like the camera or how nice it would be and not wanting to spend a lot of money, I zeroed in on the G5. KEH had a used one listed on Amazon, comes with their usual 180 warranty so I purchased it (great price, by the way).My first test with this camera was to use it at an NFL game last week. I had the G5 and also my DMC-FZ70. I've used the FZ70 for several different settings (outdoor, macro, artistic expressive, etc) but hadn't really had a chance to try it at an athletic event. I started off using the FZ70 and got some great shots but definitely see how the mega zoom lens is not all that worthy. But, I'm not here to review that camera. When I switched to the G5, oh man....the difference was immediately noticeable. Just viewing the pictures there on the spot, the clarity was amazing. I used some of the preset programs and am not disappointed. I also had my own settings programmed. I used the Panasonic H-FS45150K lens the entire time and was able to get some great close up shots. As I'm typing this I'm disappointed I don't have any of those pictures with me to post.I can't wait to further test out this camera and am excited at all of the options available. I'm not trying to be a famous photographer so I'm not willing to spend thousands of dollars on camera equipment. I simply love to photograph my experiences and the world around me. I decorate my house with beautiful art and photographs are included in that. Cameras like the G5 make it so much easier to take exceptional pictures and be proud to hang them on my walls or give them away as gifts. I'm looking forward to getting a few other lenses for this camera.UPDATE -Here are some of the photos.
