surprising lack of interest in G5 review

Exactly.  I'm not interested in a 2 yrs old Repackage camera at a higher price without sensor improvements.

The lack of excitement for G5 MIRROR the lackluster debut for Panasonic GF5

• GF5 is just a repackeage GF3 with rubber grip

• G5 is also a repackage G3 with a rubber grip

I havt yet to find any worthy upgrade in G5 over G3 to justify the expense.  Making it worst is that G5 is 240% more expensive than an older G3 @B&H Video:

• $598 Panasonic G5 Body
• $249 Panasonic G3 Body

Without sensor improvements, G5 is vulnerable to the heavily discounted G3.
