Small size, Viewfinder builtin, Wide range of compatible lenses
Fixed screen, Unbalanced with larger lenses, Comparatively small sensor
Although the image quality aspects (sensor and image processor) of the GM5 are the same as the GM1, the addition of a viewfinder should make the camera more attractive to a wider audience. There are also times when it seems more natural to hold a camera ...

Fits in a pocket when certain small lenses are attached, Uses standard lens mount, Manual controls, Built-in EVF
Small size can lead to cramped user comfort, Big lenses won't allow you to carry it in your pocket
The GM5 is a fun camera that not only looks great, but is also small and lightweight enough to fit in your pocket or pack into the daysack when you head off on holiday. With a robust build quality, your investment of £649 is likely to stand the test of ti...

Small and lightweight design, fast autofocus (including pinpoint mode), good overall image quality, better materials choice than GM1

Electronic viewfinder helps with shooting in bright light, Good image quality for its size from large four-thirds sensor, Good build quality and attractive retro styling
Small and cramped controls can be fiddly to use, Short battery life compared to similar larger cameras, No NFC slows down Wi-Fi setup
Considering the cameras size, the GM5 is capable of some amazing things. In a body not much larger in length and height than a credit card, it packs a huge four-thirds sensor, which gives great image quality. Weve seen it used in many Panasonic cameras...
Small size, quality build, Builtin EVF, Image quality, Responsiveness, Hot shoe, Quality video, Lots of settings, Good battery life (400 photos)
No builtin flash, No NFC, Touchscreen doesn't tilt or pivot
Small, reliable, elegant and well-built, the Lumix GM5 is a good buy, both for people who like a good-looking camera and for people who like a camera that takes a good-looking photo. By including an EVF, Panasonic has one-upped the GM1, a model we already...
