Panasonic unveils Lumix DMC-G5 and DMC-LX7 cameras
« Back to Article
'Light Speed AF' promises fast auto-focus across 23 focus points on the Panasonic G5, with multiple-area AF, Face Detection, and AF Tracking
Because the Panasonic G5 is part of the LUMIX G system the Micro Four Thirds camera is compatible with LUMIX G lenses specifically designed for movie shooting
An Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) with eye sensor is joined on the Panasonic G5 by a fully articulated 3.0-inch LCD with 920,000 pixels
The Panasonic G5 has an ISO range of 160–12,800 - meaning that even images shot in low-light situations should be relatively noise-free
With the introduction of the Lumix DMC-G5, Panasonic has also started using the acronym DSLM (Digital Single Lens Mirrorless Camera) to refer to mirrorless cameras
The Panasonic LX7 has an aperture ring and rear dial for scrolling through manual options
Video options on the Panasonic LX7 have also been increased from the LX5 and now include Full HD with AVCHD (1080p at 50 fps)
The LX7 features a LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMILUX F1.4-2.3 lens with a 35mm effective focal length of 24–90mm
An ISO range of 80-12,800, will be good news for low-light shooters, while those who prefer a bit of speed should be impressed by the ability to shoot full resolution images at 11 fps with the LX7
Article Summary
Panasonic has recently announced a selection of six new cameras for 2012, with the compact for enthusiasts, the LX7, and the mirrorless G5 being the most news-worthy.
