The Micro Four Thirds manufacturers have left their historic buyers behind. They have focused on equipment specialized in professional video, often much larger than a full frame. And they have neglected those of us looking for a compact, portable, yet robust system. If manufacturers want to keep the Micro Four Thirds system alive, they need to go back to producing more compact mid-range and high-end equipment. In this regard, I fondly remember David Thorpe's channel, which always showcased the essence of what Micro Four Thirds used to be.

Panasonic should make a GX10 with weather sealing like the GX8, but the GX9 form factor and tilt screen with a modification that allows the screen to tilt all the way under like the PEN E-P7. The GM5 is small, but has its limitation with fixed screen. The GX9 is much slimmer than the GX8 so if they could make a new GX10 that is the same size as the GX9 but include the weather sealing, it would be a winner!

I bought my GM-5 a year ago (like new, only 250 shutter release count). This is my no 1 camera now (I have many more G9, E-P7, GM-1, GR III, LX100II but they are too big for me). I have been using m43 from its day one with Lumix G1 and still today I love m43 for what it was and for what it is. During my journey I lost joy of photography for sometime with all these big cameras I owned, but GM-1 and now GM-5 brings smile on my face every time I use these tiny gems. If Panasonic release GM-5 successor I am the first in line to buy it :)

​​@@martingreenberg870I think therein lies part of the problem: people who really want a small, pocketable camera that they can use their collection of m43 lenses on will mostly be happy with a second hand GM5, or a GM1 or GX1/7/9/80, and turn tracking them down into a branch of their hobby. They may buy a GM5ii if it is made, but might decide not to if the screen is or isn't fully articulated, or is or isn't fold-out. Equally, they may buy a second hand GX80/850/GX9/ GX7. Meanwhile a sizeable chunk of folks using a GH5 upgraded when the GH6 arrived, and again with the GH7.

Certainly a great find. People are going to talk about 4 things it doesn't do: 1) flip-out screen; 2) IBIS; 3) meagre 1/50 sync; 4) 4k video. I'm sure Panasonic would say: "get the G100D", which is a good compromise, but it doesn't really solve many problems either. What about "get the S9", but then you don't get any small lenses or a shutter/possibility for flash. Those compromises are nothing when considering the size and it still is the smallest DSLM with a hotshoe and EVF.

@winc06 23 дня назад
I have a red one. A little rubber finger grip on the front from Amazon made it much more pleasant to hold. I live in southern California and the back screen frequently is unusable because it is just too dim in bright light. EVF saves the day. You can find an extended rubber eyepiece for the EVF that prevents the washout from sunlight coming in from the side. I do love it though. It stopped working once and found that my local camera shop was able to get it repaired. I do wish that Fujifilm would study it and the Sony RX100 to truly learn how to miniaturize. Love your videos.

Did you know that it originally came with a tiny mountable flash? But to be honest, I feel the G100 is a much better camera, though it is a bit larger, but that actually makes it easier to use. And I have 2 of those! I agree with you about begging LUMIX to please make more small cameras! Thanks for another great video.

Nice find! Love the GM5! I must get one again sometime. I'd love for them to pop in a modern sensor BUT fear there's some serious heat management to take care of. The new sensor would probably need a new processor, which would probably also need a new battery, and the three of them will also probably generate more heat - and there's nowhere for it to go in a camera this size. Hence the S5, which is probably about as small as they can now go with a modern processor and battery. That's my fear. I hope I'm wrong.

I also have a GF3, GX1, G9, and G95. I'm hoping to go to Tokyo soon and I'll be on the lookout for a GM5.

I have both, the GM5 as well as the GX8. GM5 is the best for travelling and as soon the weight and size is impotant. The EVF works better than I thought first. Even the cam is 10 years old, the noise is not dramatically higher than the GX8. I have used it during some business trips also for TWAN (the world at night) as well as for Astrophotos (using a simple Genie mini as a tracker). The 12-32mm and the low end 35-100mm are a good choice zoom lenses - but also the 42.5 F1.7 prime fits very well to the camera. I love it and have it often along with me as an additional backup or as second cam. Thanks for the video. Ralph

I have and use both cameras, GM1 and GM5. In my experience both have the same quality regarding materials and build. Besides the obvious differences with EVF, hot shoe, and scroll wheel another advantage of the GM5 is the possibility to quickly toggle the screen's touch function on and off. The lack of this is in my view the biggest nuisance of the GM1. And I fully agree: this is how MFT cameras should look like.

@@GrahamAtDesk heh I wasn't but I suspect there was an issue with my GX9's EVF. It was blurry so there was no way for me to see the entire image in one clear shot. It was like the Diopter adjustment didn''t go far enough. The thing is I'd used a GX85 before and don't remember having an issue with that. Eventually I sold the GX9 because of that and the AF missed too many easy shots, compared to my other cameras. LOVED the form factor tho

I love GM1&5 too : ) As a Lumix user I'm so frustrated that the MFT compact is being left behind by Panasonic. Isn’t DJI OSMO Pocket 3 enough to prove that compact products with 1" sensor can also sell very well? They still think Lumix compact can't!? XD

The GM5 was my dream tiny Micro Four Thirds camera, but it's extremely hard to find used. The ones I could find are asking as much as when the camera was new! ($800+). I also looked for the GM1, but it's too pricey used too, so I ended up getting the GX850. Good compromise between tiny and cheap, with good quality (no AA filter). If Panasonic could revive the GM series with just the 20MP sensor, never mind the new 25MP sensor, it would be a dream!

I replaced my too small GM1 with the E-PL7. GM5 and E-PL7 were released at the same time. Yes the E-PL7 is slightly larger but we get what the GM5 missed out on. The extra weight of the E-PL7 is its mostly metal construction. We get an excellent tilt screen and a great swivel EVF with the add-on 2.4 million dot VF4, and it has IBIS. Whilst the single wheel around the shutter button gives you the primary parameter, a prod of a button brings up the other two. The GM and GF got assimilated into the GX line-up.

Totally agree with you (and I have been shooting with this for a few years). Just be careful with the on/off button and treat it very gently, as that's the only weak spot in its design (better to let it go to sleep than turning it off and on all the time). What a shame the S9 is not built to the same specs WITH a viewfinder, even a small one!:)!

Agree! Also just want to leave a comment, that Panasonic needs to focus on cameras like this! I sold my GM5, because it wasn't that great in the low light. But oh man, when paired with 14 2.5 or 15 1.7 on the wide and 45 1.8 or 42.5 1.7 on the tele it was great. Also kit lens 12-32 together with the small 35-100 made great combo! I wish there would be mark 2. If they could do this 10 years ago, imagine what they could do now!

Bought the gm5 new 10 years ago (already!) after going through a number of g series canon point and shoot cameras (that I loved using). Limited by the fixed zoom lenses it was time to get back to an interchangeable lens camera. I didn’t realise this camera existed at the time and was eyeing the Olympus em5 (but thought it a little large) and then I chanced apon the gm5….and the body was smaller than the g15 I had at the time! I still remember the salesman saying it was too small for my large hands. 😂 Needless to say I still have the camera, along with a couple larger cameras, but the gm5 still gets the most use simply because I can throw it into my coat pocket with the tiny 12-32, 15 or oly 17mm lens. I dread the day it should stop working….come on Panasonic, give us an update pleeeeeease! Oh, and I use it with a wrist strap to avoid dropping it. The thing is so light and small that putting a camera strap on it makes it look silly 😁

I really love my Olympus PENs, a PL2, PL6, and PL8, because they are small and just do it all, and the built-in waggy sensor works better than a dog's tail for correction shake! More importantly, regarding your painted beater cam, when travelling, there are places, where a cruddy looking camera with gritty graffiti spray-paint is actually a good thing, because it's like WHO WANTS IT??? If you can disguise a Ferrari as a golden-beige BMC Princess or a totally rusted out Fiat Uno of unidentifiable colour, that is a good thing Try going there with a high end Leica instead, and see what happens to your neck strap and accessory bags

Yes, yes, yes, we want updated small MFT cameras! The GX80 has become the digital camera I carry when I'm shooting film to grab some video and to continue shooting after I finish my roll. I'm really enjoying it. If it had Real Time LUT, v-log, PDAF and an EVF that doesn't give me rainbow vision I'd be even happier, but it's like 90% there for the perfect camera, especially for street photography.

@@benkwongcw I'd manage without IBIS since it's meant for fun and can't be a serious camera like the G9ii anyway. Fast wide f1.7 eliminate shake and the 42.5 f1.7 has optical stabe. If it gets too thick and heavy by adding IBIS and a flip screen it becomes a GX9 and not a GM5. But obviously it needs phase detect and the new sensor.

Look at how many people say they want on of these with PD auto focus, weather-sealing, and a flippy screen, only to have someone else say they'd only want it with a tilting screen. Suppose they make a GX10: should it be as close as possible to a GX9, or to a GX8? Would GX8 afficionados buy it if it were more like a GX9, and vice versa?

It's not possible to fit an IBIS system and a flip screen in a tiny camera body. You have to make sacrifices somewhere. Thats why Panasonic only made two of these and neither sold very well. Most people would rather have a larger body and have Panasonics fantastic IBIS and a flip screen.
