Panasonic GM-5 camera

introduction

announced Sept 2014
ultra-compact (just a touch bigger than the GM-1 but smaller than a Canon G16), magnesium alloy body with built-in EVF, hotshoe, WiFi, bundled flash, eye detect AF, 240fps AF readout, 5.8fps burst, 1/16,000th sec shutter, Timed BULB to 60sec, focus peaking, silent mode, new “Snap Movie Mode” and 1080 60p HD video
BUT x-sync is way too slow at 1/50th sec, no IBIS, no NFC, only one control wheel
perhaps best suited to the Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 ASPH lens which has a aperture ring
optional hand grip makes it more ergonomic for larger lenses

ePhotozine review
- “Despite being one of the smallest Micro Four Thirds cameras available with built in EVF, and also being smaller than most other mirrorless cameras, the Panasonic Lumix GM5 doesn't compromise on image quality or features, and delivers advanced options in a camera small enough to fit in your pocket, even with the lens attached”
