Pros: dimensions, weight, quality of raw files, fast autofocus, efficient touch screen for manual focusing

Cons: poor quality of the viewfinder, sometimes disappointing Jpeg, heats up a lot, little battery life

Opinion: the advanced settings of the high and low lights can lead to Jpeg of poor quality, with chromatic flatness and very bad rendering on the skins, but the Raw files are excellent. It is completely silent only if the lens is at full aperture (or with a mechanical diaphragm lens) and the automatic closing of the diaphragm induces a delay in release (about 1/10 of a second), which can be detrimental when looking for the perfect moment. The dynamic range is a little lower than that of the LX100 for example. Of course it is not stabilized and therefore it is very difficult to focus with a manual lens on medium and long focal lengths. But the GM5 remains excellent: it would be silly to ask the impossible for such a small interchangeable lens camera!

Pros: All

Cons: Poor battery life

Opinion: I've had it for a few years and I can't replace it. Small, really small, very transportable. I used it with the 12-32 but the extraction of the lens and the choice of the focal length slows down the action. Then I used it with the 20mm and I think it is a formidable combination for practicality and quality. I recently took the Summilux 15mm, but although I have not yet experienced the pairing in the field for various reasons, just handling it gives me hope. Aperture on 5.6, priority of apertures and ISO free to fluctuate. It will be necessary, in low light, to keep the move under control. There is no stabilization but you cannot have everything. There is the flash slide and allows the use, in addition to its tiny accessory flash, of also powerful flashes . About the battery, it depends on how much of the photographer. The batteries are small and bringing a spare pair of them is certainly not a problem. The only drawback is that it often makes the main car stay at home. It has not had great commercial success: professionals, however few, do not need it and amateurs love to appear and this is minimalist. It is rare to find it on ebay and the quotes are surprisingly high, I would say too high

Pros: Size and weight, picture quality, quality of some optical, build quality, presence viewfinder

Cons: some limit handling for its small size, the viewfinder that could have more definition, drums with little autonomy

Opinion: let's face it: the GM5 is a compromise choice, so closely linked to the specific needs. I have chosen (after having also had the GM1) to have an apparatus which assure me good performance in the face of absolute portability. Now, on a belt inside a neoprene case, I always carry it behind; mountain, city trip. Any opportunity is good. In short, the times when hiking in the mountains provide for a backpack dedicated to all the dimensions of the Nikon FA, and the Nikkor 25-50, 35-200 and 20 have a (good) memories ... rnLe qualities of GM5 are then clear: a decent sensor in a small body; very small. Combined with Panasonic 20mm then, he did discover a very beautiful view of the images; lose some oppotunità provided by zoom and focal most extreme (which I have in the kit 12-32 and 35-100), but I can cover 90% of my needs compared to a final quality superiore.rnSe then size and weight are not the priority is clear ch and there are many other machines that can do the same, and maybe more, for the same amount, but for the moment I hold me tight and I will enjoy it. But a second battery to carry around and a must ...
