3 Comments

Panasonic is going to release the LUMIX DMC-LX100, the world's first compact digital camera with 4/3-inch sensor built-in, for about 103,000 yen on November 13.

By using the same 4/3-inch sensor as Panasonic's mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras supporting the Micro Four Thirds system, LUMIX DMC-LX100 brings equivalent image quality to that of mirrorless cameras.

The LUMIX DMC-LX100 features a LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMILUX lens covering focal length 24mm to 75mm, 4/3-inch MOS sensor, 2.75MP dot finder, 3-inch LCD monitor, and Wi-Fi ability.

In addition, it has the same rapid auto-focus system as Panasonic's mirrorless flagship model DMC-GH4.

Regarding videos, LUMIX DMC-LX100 takes 4K video (3840×2160/30p) and full HD video (1920x1080/60p). You can save photos and videos in an SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card.

Size: 114.8x66.2x55.0mm Weight: 393g including battery and memory card Color: Black, Silver

Costs more than a mirrorless interchangeable micro 4/3rds camera, and would be arguably the same size, so what exactly is the benefit i wonder?

Please stop using "4K" to describe "UHD" video. 4K equals 4096 X 2160 pixels and is a cinema standard. UHD equals 3840 X 2160 pixels and is a display standard. Marketing lingo shouldn't be used when describing technical specifications.

Guess I'd have to agree.
