Shortly after being spotted in a promo video that may or may not have been posted early on purpose, Panasonic has officially announced the Lumix GX1, the first in a new series of compact Micro Four Thirds cameras. The real thing confirms a lot of info that’s been leaked earlier, with details that include a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor high sensitivity that tops out at ISO 12,800, and a fast AF that can lock in on a subject in 0.09 seconds. Full press release after the break.
Panasonic has unveiled their first 3D-capable cam, the Lumix DMC-3D1. Like Fujifilm’s Real 3D W1, the 3D1 is highlighted by a dual lens feature that gives it the ability to shoot stereoscopic 3D photos and videos. The cam rocks a pair of 25mm ultra wide angle, 4x optical zoom lens, along with a 12-megapixel sensor, making for a compact point-and-shoot that’s capable of shooting 8-megapixel 3D stills and clips, or 12-megapixel 2D photos and videos with a 1920 x 1080 resolution.
Officially, this cam shouldn’t exist… or at least not yet. But thanks to a number of leaks that go back as early as late October, we’re already aware that Panasonic has a new Micro Four Thirds cam called the Lumix GX1 up their sleeves. Right now, the cam still hasn’t been officially announced, but this latest “leak” pretty much spoils the (official) surprise. It’s a video of what looks to be the GX1’s official promo videos, posted on Panasonic’s own site. [video after the break]
Unless you already own a Leica, you already know that a Leica isn’t the type of camera you see often. To be fair, cameras are getting more and more uncommon these days thanks to the improving quality of phone cams…but you know what we mean. In a world where you rarely see someone pull out a real camera, the chances of seeing someone pull out a Leica at the company picnic are pretty slim, which makes these luxury cams really exclusive pieces of photo-snapping tech. But what if just owning a Leica wasn’t “exclusive” enough for you? Well, then Leica just came up with this cam for your plush-cam-loving elitist behind: the Leica D-Lux Titanium.
