The G5 includes HD video recording capability in AVCHD format. The G5 is the successor to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3, and is Panasonic's most junior MFT camera.

The G5 differs from the G3 principally by offering a higher maximum ISO (12,800 vs 6,400), a continuous shooting frame rate (6 vs 4 fps), a higher resolution screen and a new image sensor and processor.

Physically, the G5 is very similar to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3, but it has a larger hand grip. However, most of the camera's functionality is also accessible through the touch-control LCD panel.
