Design, handling, ease of use, Customisable interface (Quick menu, etc.), Picture quality up to 3200 ISO, Nice touchscreen, choice between using touchcontrols and physical controls
No way of hooking up an external flash or microphone, No swivel or tilt screen
The GF5 is a nice update of Panasonic's GF3. Handling has improved thanks to the reworked interface, and picture quality has been enhanced at high-sensitivity settings. All in all, the Lumix GF5 is a pleasant and consistent camera to use. There are bet...
Relatively compact for its class, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5 delivers excellent performance and good-to-great photo quality
The Power Zoom lens isn't great and there are some image-quality flaws in the JPEGs that might bother some people
The compact semi-pro Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5 exceeded my expectations. It does a great job of rendering a high level of detail under all lighting conditions and its low light performance is particularly impressive. With a wide range of lenses, it offer...
Although Panasonic has made just a handful of changes to the Lumix DMC-GF5 over the GF3, they are improvements. However, the changes arent significant enough to warrant GF3 users to upgrade their camera.While higher-resolution compact system cameras are...

Compact body, grip, display, fast autofocus, plenty of shooting options
User interface is a little inconsistent, otherwise too soon to judge

Lack of hotshoe limits flash/accessory options
One of the biggest selling points of the GF3 – especially for CSC newcomers – was its ease of use. This was largely facilitated by its hybrid control system that allows for touch-screen and physical button control. The newer model retains this approach, w...
Speedy AF, Variety of creative filters and Scene modes, Great handling, Good image quality
Manual focussing notch is not placed ergonomically, Videos tend to record zooming and focussing sound, No hot-shoe
The Panasonic Lumix GF5 is an ideal mirrorless camera for someone wanting to upgrade from a point and shoot, but does not want the heft of a DSLR. Two intelligent auto modes, 14 creative filters, 23 SCN modes ensure that this is meant for the amateur user...
Abstract: The Lumix DMC- GF5 follows in the GF3's design footsteps with a similar-looking chassis and button layout. The Lumix comes with a newly-developed 12-megapixel image sensor coupled with an improved Venus Engine image processor. There's also a higher-res...
