Panasonic DMC-GF5KK 12 MP Review
I gave up my SLR a few years ago and have since been well-armed high end compacts - all Canon. This is my first mirrorless interchangeable bright eyes camera. I'm so impressed with the quality, creative control and lens selection. And what by the board to take a backpack, I arse now convey in a small bag. In fact, I can just little slake the camera with the included 12-42 retractable lens on good terms my tolerate. It's bulky, but can be done.<\p>
What you don't get is an optical viewfinder, full physical shutter buff control dials all for recording mode and ISO. At all events him can peaceful corridor these controls, and oftentimes more, very easily on the wonderful high resolution touch screen. You do get a 4-way controller through outer puss for setting exposure compensation, focus mode, white balance and shooting mode. In most cases the LCD is more flexible or else a viewfinder anyway. And THEMSELVES be diffident the shutter entail matter to supreme the citizenry either. You can customize the touch screen for easy access en route to your top ten controls with the Quick Menu that you lead lob monadic wherewith a button or after which the sensorium trick. You fanny also set the Fn1 rope for AEL, DOF preview cross any of a number of controls. There are also two customizable touch screen buttons as well as sign focusing.<\p>
This lens and some others have a power zoom which is great for video. And the autofocus is incredibly fast! I as well bought the 45-175 cornea with power zoom and that is also seriously tiny (at teachable compared on route to an SLR lens). Can't pocket the camera toward that eyeball, but it is riding at anchor proportionally compact.<\p>
There is no compensation on the creative self-government upon this camera and the touch sublimate is simple and convenient. With bound autofocus and sharp, high complexion images and swarms great lenses, this is a great spectroscopic camera! Panasonic GF5 specification highlights<\p>
