Introduction | Measurement | Comparisons | Conclusion

Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-GF5’s offers some new tricks in a remodeled GF3 camera body. It whips up better video and audio options, and it incorporates new user features like creative control filters, and scene guide modes (provides beginning photographers with picture guides on how a professional photographer might shoot a particular scene).

The GF5 also disappoints in its sensor quality. Panasonic made no significant evolutionary changes to the GF5’s sensor, putting the Lumix DMC-GF line at risk from hungry competitors' eager to pick off prospective Panasonic customers.
