That is about the typical reaction amongst the female colleagues at the office when I handed it around to see what kind of reaction it would elicit
Its definitely more pocketable than the LX100 which is HUGE as the GM5 is an interchangeable lens system while the former is not
Without a doubt, ladies love its small size and the red leatherette (WongLP passed it to me a couple of days back) ... thank God he did not hand over one in hot pink haha
OK while the camera is definitely small (its aout the size of my mouse and narrower than my spectacles) I like it that all buttons and dials are firm and assured without any risk of accidentally tripping anything
The Kit Lens...... its something quite different from its earlier cousins from Panasonic and Olympus. The previous kit lenses you needed to activate an unlock button to extend and retract the lens to ready-to-shoot or ready-to-keep-away .... not with this kit zoom lens on the GM5.... just twist the zoom ring to extend the lens and its immediately ready to go and vice versa when closing it
To toggle between Exposure +/- compensation and f-stop just press that dial to select between the 2
Love the dedicated WIFI button which can be reset to another function if you so wish
OK the weather has been a little hazy but still shot with it a little this evening around Marina Bay betweeen ISO 100 and ISO 1600 with a 2sec timed delay shutter release
At ISO 100
At ISO 1600
At ISO 100
At ISO 1600
