- Part number: CNETDMC-GF5KIT
- Description: The LUMIX GF5 features a newly developed 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor and redesigned Venus Engine, helping to ensure true-to-life images through exceptional resolution, image rendering and color reproduction. Even in low-light situations and at a maximum high ISO sensitivity, the LUMIX GF5 produces stunning photos and videos. The noise reduction system allows for both bright areas and dark areas to be faithfully reproduced with minimal noise in high sensitivity image recording. Sporting a sophisticated and stylish design, the LUMIX GF5 features a compact, lightweight body with built-in flash. A rubberized grip makes it easier for users to comfortably hold the camera in one hand. A wide range of interchangeable lenses is offered to expand photographic experience even more broadly at higher level of photo quality.
