Davide DB 494 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) The new G5 has been announced. http://www.dpreview.com/previews/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g5 While I'm sure that we will never see a uw housing for this camera. I'm sure that most of the features will be present in the upcoming GH3. I think that if Panny doesn't make a false step, it will rule 'em all again Rumours on the GH3 says that it will be water sealed as the latest power zoom lens. A new sensor is arriving and finally we have the 1080/50/60 (28Mb on G5) The most interesting is the second small lever near the shutter button that can be programmed for zoom or aperture. On the G5 all rumors pointed towards it having the same G3 sensor, but instead it has an improved one seemingly based on the GH2's technology. So lets count some of the imrpovements: 1) Return of the EVF proximity sensor 2) Larger, more comfortable hand grip at nary a size expense. 3) Higher Res LCD(920k dots vs 460k) 4) Programmable Function Lever, can be used for powerzoom or exposure compensation/aperture changes). Essentially like having a second dial. 5) 1 additional programmable function button, AF/AE button, better button placement 6) More clicky buttons with better build 7) 9 more Art modes, if you're into that type of thing 8) 6fps at full res, vs 4fps. 3.7 fps with continuous AF 9) Can continue to shoot and access menus with a full buffer 10) Control the AF point using the touchscreen as touchpad while using EVF! Seems super useful. 11) 1080p60, at 28mbps! Real slow-mo footage possible. 12) Improved battery life rating(320 vs 270, uses GH2 battery) 13) New, Multi-aspect-ratio sensor(This might not seem significant, but is actually very useful when shooting in aspect ratios other than 4:3, particularly for wide-angle lenses.). 18.3 total megapixels vs 16.8. On-chip processing. 14) Iso 12,800 15) 3 frame HDR mode Edited July 19, 2012 by M43user Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
