This will also eliminate vibrations that occur in certain shutter speeds that you normally hand hold a camera for. This has major advantages for those who shoot still subjects on a tripod or with large telephoto lenses since there is absolutely zero vibration caused by the camera in this mode. The second main advantage with the electronic shutter is the complete lack of shutter vibrations during certain exposure times. The G5 is probably the quietest camera I've ever used to date when the above preferences are made in the menu, impressively quiet. Shooting sleeping daughters or sons, cats or dogs, just doesn't get any more stealthy. First, its silent, so if you turn off all the beeps and noises in the G5's menu, then activate its electronic shutter, this camera is just as quiet, if not quieter than digicams such as the G15. The G5 can be set to use an electronic shutter if you prefer, and this has at least a couple of advantages.

Panasonic Lumix G5- Full Review: Features My standard for good battery performance is being able to shoot all day and not have to worry about the battery going dead on me when I need it most- usually at the end of the day. The Li-ion battery is a decent sized 7.2V 1200mAh 8.7Wh unit, and even during its break in period allowed for all day shooting (typically 200-400 shots is the average all day shooting) without needing a re-charge. The G5 can be powered on focused and shot made even in dim light in under a second, that's great.īattery life is good to very good, not excellent but certainly not dismal either. The NEX6 for example takes 3-6 seconds to fully power on and be ready (full display etc) which is abhorrently unacceptable to me. Modern day cameras should never take more than a second to turn on, so anything otherwise gets a frown depending on how badly it performs. On and Off speed is really fast, it beats the pants off of the NEX6 and NEX7 by far, and in some circumstances that can be a life saver to grab an image quickly. Overall the G5 operates quickly, it wasn't notably slow in any function of its performance that I recall. Me quite a bit actually, to me its the small attention to details that count. Is a bit nostalgic in that regard and how I prefer them to sound like. This trait alone endears the G5 to The sound is akin to what the rangefinder filmĬameras I've used in the past sound like, so it Or weird noises- you know you've just made a photograph with its crisp I particularly like the sound of the shutter, it's just snappy- clean and eager sounding, but also relatively quiet. Using a pancake prime lens such as the 17mm f/2.8 or 20mm f/1.7 just doesn't seem as comfortable because the quirks I mentioned are magnified when using this camera one handed. I like how the two pair up, the camera becomes soft and precise in hand, giving gentle but direct feedback. In fact, so much so, that I think the engineers designed the body of the G5 to be used two handed with the kit lens (arguing that most buyers will only ever use that lens with this body). Handling the G5 overall is pretty nice for such a small camera, and quite nice when the 14-42mm II kit lens is attached and using both hands. The turn and push rear dial is my favorite type, but the G5's is a bit stiff, plasticy, and oddly placed. Personally I'd switch the Q.Menu button with the DISP button on the back side, as that change would seem more intuitive. The rocker switch behind the shutter release too, it'sĪ perfect place to put something to adjust your exposure value- or The AEL lockīutton is in the perfect position, the thumb rest while tight, isĬomfortable, and the shutter release falls to hand very nicely. It's the good kind of cramped - full of stuff you'll use. Large EVF housing and 16:9 format LCD screen, and thus, does feel a bit cramped.
