Good image quality thanks to MFT sensor ; Tiny body

Poor battery life ; Fiddly controls ; No 4K video

It’s an improvement, but unfortunately not a particularly drastic one. We still found the DMC-GM5 quite cramped in use, especially when trying to compose through the EVF. There just isn’t enough room, and as an interchangeable-lens camera it can’t rely...

Built in EVF ; Very good noise performance ; Fast focus and shutter response ; Good touch screen ; Excellent image quality ; Excellent remote control Wi-Fi app ; Extremely small Micro Four Thirds camera body ; Small lenses available ; Quiet mechanical...

Macro performance of 12-32mm lens is disappointing ; Short battery life

The Panasonic Lumix GM5 is priced at £699 with 12-32mm kit lens, which makes it quite expensive for a mirrorless camera, and it's designed to compete with other premium compact cameras, such as the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III , with 1inch sensor,...

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...

Fits in a pocket when certain small lenses are attached ; Uses standard lens mount ; Manual controls ; Built-in EVF
