Functionally, the G-series has been very good. Accessible controls, comfortable to hold, like mini-DSLR. A very utilitarian camera, one you don't have to feel uncomfortable holding or "fearful" that some grip mishap will hurt it, unlike the GF series. This seems like a good offering shape-wise, better than the G3.Hmmm, I think G5 is not sooooo "the hit" ... compared with G3 ... a weak update.

That's a good point. Having not shot the G3 myself I can't comment on the handling issues, but that can be a make or break kind of thing for a camera. So if the G5 is just a better handling G3 that could be a big improvement itself. I have read people annoyed by G3 handling but not thrilled about having to go up to the GH2 to resolve the problem.

which has in my opinion been what the G cameras have been all about since they started (G1), although have recently lost their way....this has become a very competent little camera and at the same price as an advanced p&s.
Just as I notice that Pana have not come up with yet another new battery (G5 can use the same battery as the GH-2) why bring that up?Wouldn't it be nice if it goes back to the same battery as the G1/GH1
