The Panasonic Lumix range has been a favorite of ours for many years, next to the Ricoh line-up and of course the offering of Leica. With the GF1, Panasonic once again introduces an interesting new camera that you should have a closer look at. Just like with former G-series models, also the lenses of the GF1 can be exchanged, probably one of the most interesting features of this very compact camera.

“Though small in size, the LUMIX GF1 does not compromise in advanced features. The LUMIX GF1 thoroughly optimizes the advantages of a system camera to ensure high performance, whether capturing photos or HD video. The LUMIX GF1 also comes fully-equipped with a built-in flash and a large, 3.0-inch Intelligent LCD with a wide viewing angle and a 460,000-dot resolution.

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF1 will be available in early October 2009 with the option of two kits – both with a suggested retail price (SRP) of $899.95. One kit option includes the newly-announced LUMIX G 20mm/F1.7 ASPH, a compact and lightweight “pancake” lens, while the other kit features the LUMIX G VARIO 14-45mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH/MEGA O.I.S. The optional Live View Finder DMW-LVF1 has an SRP of $199.95; while the DMW-MA2M and DMW-MA3R both have an SRP of $249.95.”

The camera will come in a series of colorways from October 2009.

Panasonic presents the update to their popular G1 camera, which was the first camera in the Lumix range with exchangeable lenses and overall a big success. The DMC-GH1 comes packed with new features, some of which are very interesting. The camera is now also suitable for video production, as it does not only record in full HD, but also records Dolby Digital sound, which is quite impressive. The camera is now available in stores for about 1500 USD.

Take a detailed look at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 after the jump.

The Panasonic Lumix range has been interesting since its inception, bringing high quality Leica lenses into the mass market and thus making a quality camera more affordable. Their latest model to release is the DMC G-1, which is the first larger size camera to come from them, bringing the functionality of a big reflex camera, the G-1 gives you the choice between the two at all times. Also it is very light and still compact.

Now, what does this have to do with Busy “P”? Well, we were asking ourselves the same question. The DJ and producer took the G-1 to the Justice tour and the 200 pictures that he took are preloaded on each camera! It is now available for 850 Euros at colette.

These days its hard to imagine living without a digital camera. Everybody always seems to have one around and that is most of the time a good thing.
We have always been fans of quality digital cameras with a bit of a retro look, lots of options, but when needed the camera can do it all by itself. In that category are most notably the Panasonic Lumix range, Ricoh, Canon G-Series and a couple of others. We want it compact, but full of options and all these cameras offer that.
Now Panasonic just released their new DMC-LX3K. From the look we definitely like it, especially the added grip that the LX2 did not have. The Leica technology also does not disappoint and the camera comes with the a 24mm wide-angle – perfect. Off of the sheet it all sounds good. We have not tested it, but it is worth checking out, if you are looking for a new digital camera.
