This is the Panasonic G5 (plus LX7 and FZ200 details)

By PR admin | Published: July 17, 2012

The first images of the Panasonic G5 camera are out. This is what Telegraph UK wrote about the new camera:

"The new DMC-G5 features a 3-inch fold out screen and a top of the line 16-megapixel sensor powered by Panasonic's Venus Engine VII."

There is also some information on the upcoming Panasonic LX7 and FZ200:

"Also launched is the DMC-LX7 and DMC-FZ200. The former is a top of the line compact camera with a fast f1.4 Leica lens, 10.1 megapixel Mos sensor and 3-inch screen. The DMC-FZ200, which is due for release in late August or early September, replaces Panasonic's FZ150 as its new flagship bridge camera. Included is a highly formidable 25-600mm lens, which is incredibly wide yet capable of zooming extreme distances. Even more impressive is that the lens on the FZ200 maintains a constant f2.8 aperture throughout."

Few more images after the break:

    600mm f/2.8?!? How is this physically poasible?

    It’s 100mm f2.8 and a tiny sensor! That’s no problem!

    Great, now Leica can brag about their superior optical feat of making a f/2.8 superzoom with the V-Lux 4 launch…

    - I’m sure the G5 will be a fantastic camera, but in the first photo it looks kind of ugly.
    - The 14-42 lens attached to it looks slightly different from the current one.

    Stupid Telegraph reporter. Look at the photo of the camera. It has a 2.8-4.5 variable aperture. 600mm 4.5 is still pretty good, but it’s not 2.8.

  • kBJunior

    Whoops! It looks like the 4.5 is the starting focal length in the zoom.

    G5 looks promising. Proximity sensor for EVF, and a few more hard controls.

    Appears to be one more button on the back, one more on top, and what might be a jog/toggle switch near the shutter button — perhaps this serves as a ‘front e-dial’. If it is such a toggle, I think it’s OK for it not to be a proper ‘dial’, as it’s difficult to make the tiny dials on smaller cameras travel more than 1-2 clicks at a time anyway.

    Better placement for ‘play’ (review) button and less need for use of EVF/LCD due to proximity sensor are wins. The grip appears to be more significant as well, sort of a reversal of the small-gripped G3 and LX1.

    Wow. That lens is almost as good as my camcorder.

  • Albert

    It appears as though above commenters don’t know how to read the specs on the lens itself. It is f/2.8 throughout. 4.5 to 108mm is the zoom range. 4.5 is NOT the max aperture at 108mm.

    That G5 relatively thick 14-42 kit lens size in relation to the very tiny piece of glass in front looks absolutely ridiculous ! ! ! LOL

    I have been wondering a long time is this some kind of gimmick to make the lens BIG to make the camera appear more “professional”??
