Panasonic has launched a new Micro Four Thirds mirrorless interchangeable lens (MIL) camera.
It is available now at S$1,099 for either the single-lens or twin-lens kits (details within).
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF5 comes in five colours: Black, White, Red, Brown, and Gold (limited edition).
The LUMIX DMC-GF5 is the latest member of the LUMIX G Micro System.
The GF5 remains compact despite having a built-in pop-up flash.
As an MIL camera, it marries the image quality and lens-changing flexibility of DSLRs with the compactness of point-and-shoot cameras.
The DMC-GF5 includes a built-in flash, 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity Live MOS sensor and an improved Venus Engine for image processing.
Maximum ISO settings reach a maximum of 12,800.
The DMC-GF5 has a 920,000 dots, 3-inch touch display, which allows the user to choose where to focus and to release the shutter upon focus.
Compact enough to fit in the trousers pocket.
Touch zoom is also available simply by mounting the LUMIX G X Power Zoom Lens (H-PS14042 lens or H-PS45175).
The DMC-GF5 uses Contrast Auto-Focus (AF) to capture and lock on to fast-moving subjects within 0.9 seconds.
There are 23 scene modes with pre-canned settings for various photographic situations.
A Creative Control mode increases filter options to 14 from 6 in the DMC-GF3.
The GF5 has a 920k dots, 3-inch touch display.
The new filters are: Soft Focus, Dynamic Monochrome, Impressive Art, One Point Color, Cross Process, Low Key, Toy Effect and Star Filter.
The existing six filters are the conventional Expressive, Retro, High Key, Sepia, High Dynamic, and Miniature Effect filters.
A dedicated video record button records 1920 x 1080 Full HD video with stereo sound, in either AVCHD or MP4 format.
The DMC-GF5’s Intelligent Auto (iA) mode includes AF Tracking, Face Recognition, Intelligent D-range Control, Scene Selector and ISO Control.
Nice muscular design in the GF5.
iA Plus mode adjusts exposure compensation and white balance for superior image output.
A newly added angle detection sensor makes it possible to tell whether the photo was taken horizontally or vertically, whatever lens is used.
The
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF5 is available now and is priced at S$1,099 for either of two kits:
- GF5X: Body with 14-42mm LUMIX G X lens
- GF5W: Body with 14mm F2.5 pancake lens, and 14-42mm standard kit lens
Note: the Micro Four Thirds lens has a crop factor of 2, so a 14-42mm lens has a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 28-84mm.

Leica M Monochrom with the APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH lens, Leica M9-P »Edition Hermès«, and the Leica X2.
“Das Wesentliche” means “The Essentials” in German.
It reflects Leica’s intent to focus on just the essentials in the design of their slew new products – to the point of being minimalistic.
The new products are:
- Leica M Monochrom

- Leica M9-P »Edition Hermès«
- Leica M9-P »Edition Hermès« – Série Limitée Jean-Louis Dumas
- Leica X2

- Leica S-Adapter H
The first Das Wesentliche event debuted in Berlin on 10 May.
The new products that were launched in Berlin are now being brought around the world to Leica’s main markets, including Tokyo and Singapore.
The Leica M Monochrom is an 18-megapixel full-frame digital rangefinder camera that shoots only in black-and-white.
It will be available in Singapore (S$12,260) in black chrome from August onwards.

Leica describes it as its most outstanding lens. It will be available in Singapore (S$10,900) from the end of July 2012, in black finish.
Two limited editions of the Leica M9-P have been introduced to commemorate the close relationship between Leica and renowned Parisian house Hermès.
The limited edition Leica M9-P »Edition Hermès« is already available now (US$25,000) although only 300 will be available worldwide.
It comes in either single-lens or triple-lens kits. Both the camera body, lenses, camera bags and accessories have been specially designed by automotive designer Walter de’Silva.

An even more exclusive Leica M9-P »Edition Hermès« – Série Limitée Jean-Louis Dumas will be available (US$50,000) in June 2012. Only 100 sets will be available worldwide. Each set will come with three lenses.

It is targeted towards semi-professional photographers and photography enthusiasts. It will be available in Singapore (S$2,980) from June 2012.
Leica V-Lux 40 with 20x optical zoom
Another new compact camera is the 14.1-megapixel (effective pixels) Leica V-Lux 40, with a 20x optical zoom from 24 to 480 mm (35mm equivalent).
