One of the most underrated mft camera
Excellent evf and lcd which is fully articulating
If you go through reviews you wont find a single unsatisfied user


I bought it yesterday. For this price of 22300rs you will never get a decent mirrorless!!


Go for it
This is my second G5 and after trying 4 mirrorless bodies i realised how much i missed its features

Isn't the Nex 3 priced around the same?

Nex 3 is outdated
Yeah its apsc sensor but the lenses are also similar in size to dslrs!!
A miniature body with a gigantic lens and imbalance!!

Micro four thirds is all about size, fast af speeds
Lenses are small and cute
Much better lens selection that one or two sony shit and overpriced Zeiss

I also reckoned getting a nex sometimes back but they don't even have a good prime lens which is sharp

If u only stick to kit lenses and not bothered about size of the lenses then yeah Nex 3 may be option for u

Can you link us to an example prime lens that is small and cute but fast and sharp and also cheap?

Sony has a 50mm f/1.8 lens that is pretty good and fairly cheap (300$/19k INR) and easily available in India. Not sure about small and cute though.
I did a quick search, and the closest Panasonic 4/3rd lens with similar performance to the Sony seems to be this Panasonic Leica DG Nocticron 42.5mm F1.2 ASPH :

Doesn't really look small and cute. Also its 1500$. Overpriced Leica?

Panasonic 25mm 1.4
Panasonic 14mm 2.5
Olympus 17mm 1.8 and 2.8
Olympus 45mm 1.8
Olympus 75mm 1.8
Sigma 19 and 30mm 2.8 as available for sony nex



All are much much smaller than sony nex lenses
