They promised more info for this week, and they gave us new info. Unfortunately… it’s not quite shaping up to what we were hoping for. Budget Sony Ericsson with 13MP camera, anyone?
They may not sell many mobile phones outside Japan, but considering how well respected Panasonic’s Lumix camera range is around the world, a “Lumix phone” would actually do very well. Given the OS matches up to the phone’s awesome-sounding specs, of course.
DigitalCameraInfo got some hands-on time with the LUMIX DMC-GH2, Panasonic’s new micro four thirds, and while they had some quibbles about its lack of true 1080p, 60fps video (or 3D video), they still think it’ll be best of class. [DigitalCameraReview]
Both CNET and PhotographyBlog have pressed the shutter button on Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-LX5 in the past week, reviewing the new F2.0, 24mm Leica lens with 3.8x optical zoom and image processing engine. Canon’s S95 should be scared. [PhotographyBlog, CNET]
Well, lookee here. Panasonic has released local details for their Lumix range of point and shoots, as well as the “world’s first 3D consumer camcorder”.
