The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5 is a compact and lightweight digital Interchangeable Lens Camera (ILC) with a built-in flash. It basically retains the design of the GF3, and adds a rubberized handgrip for a more comfortable and secure hold.
Like the GF3, the GF5 is squarely targeted to the point-and-shoot crowd who wants to step-up to DSLR image quality and performance but finds the traditional mirrored DSLRs to be more bulky and complex than they want to bother with. The GF5 packages all the advantages of the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) System allowing the same image quality and performance of an entry-level DSLR in a compact, light and user-friendly camera.
The Lumix GF5 features 12.1MP resolution of a FourThirds sensor, a 3.0-in. (920k-dot) Touch Panel LCD, Contonuous Shooting at 4fps, and Full HD Movie 1920 x 1080/60i. Point-and-Shoot users will choose to leave the camera on Intelligent AUTO mode while beginners and more advanced users have access to all the semi-auto and manual modes with PASM shooting modes and RAW file format.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5 is compact, elegant and targets those who are thinking of upgrading from their compact point-and-shoot digicams to a DSLR-level camera without the bulk and weight of a traditional DSLR.
