The editors didn't like
Physical controls could be a little better
What you see on the screen is not always what is captured
The various additions and upgrades over the G3 essentially put the G5 back in the game as far as enthusiast-level users are concerned, and this is further cemented by the recent arrivals in the Lumix G lens system. It is a very different animal to the Oly...

Auto white balance sometimes inaccurate, Using touchpad AF in portrait mode is tricky
