Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 is a versatile mid-range mirrorless camera featuring a 16-megapixel Live MOS sensor and a built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF). It introduced a redesigned grip and a silent electronic shutter option, making it well-suited for wildlife or event photography. The fully articulated 3.0-inch LCD screen provides flexibility for high and low-angle shots, while the Micro Four Thirds mount offers access to a vast ecosystem of lenses. Check the G5 for wear on the articulated screen hinge and the eye sensor that switches between the EVF and LCD. SDS technicians inspect the sensor for any marks or cleaning scratches. The rubber grip is prone to slight lifting near the thumb rest, so this should be examined. Ensure the 'function lever' near the shutter button operates smoothly, as this is a unique control point on this model that can attract dust and become intermittent.
