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
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:
Without sensor improvements, G5 is vulnerable to the heavily discounted G3.
You do realize that the G5 and the G3 do not use the same sensor?
The G5 sensor is more sophisticated in that it has the A/D converters on the chip vs later in the processing circuit. It has lower noise at low ISOs, and, with the current JPG engine, better overall color rendition than the G3.
yes, but it is still overshadowed by the new Sony sensor offered in the Olympus cameras.
In addition, the handling and the button access is better on the G5 than the G3....and it has a better LCD.
well that is jst repackaging. I updated my G3 to an E-M5, but won't have felt the need to go from the G3 to the G5, even if the new Olympus weren't yet issued.
007 Peter is right about that and the lack of buzz on the forum just reflects that fact.

I guess you haven't tried the camera or read the review on IR, but it's all about lack of 'buzz'.
Each to his own, but the OMD feels like a little brick in comparison to the OMD. But don't forget the all important buzz, which I guess it must have that overcomes it's shortcomings.!
