    Panasonic made small but effective improvements, this is really good improvement over G3. It also gives %95 of what Olympus OM-D offers for %60 of the price. Here is a comparison of G5 and G3:

    Sorta looks like the handgrip is bigger than the one on the G3. That’s a good thing in itself, (for me, anyway) but maybe it also means they’ve gone back to the bigger and stronger battery of the G1/G2?

    Also, did I completely miss the G4? Why G3 to G5?
