Panasonic Corp. has today announced its third Lumix G X branded Micro Four Thirds-mount lens, the Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm/F2.8 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. With the addition of this new model, the premium X-series lens lineup now covers focal lengths from a very generous 24mm-equivalent wide angle to a powerful 350mm-equivalent telephoto, with only a very small gap in coverage...
As a digital camera made expressly for enthusiasts, the Panasonic GX1 is a little larger than the smallest compact system cameras, but is still small enough to bring along easily. While the GX1 is in some ways a return to an older design, it still includes improvements in resolution and image quality. Its new touchscreen interface also manages to add a bit of utility as well; and...
Panasonic has today announced the Lumix DMC-GF5 compact system camera, a new model that revisits the design of its earlier GF3 model, and makes refinements in a number of areas.
Most significantly, the Panasonic GF5 has a new image sensor and processor combo. Sensor resolution is unchanged at twelve megapixels, but the GF5's imager has lower-profile, better-positioned circuitry...
Panasonic has apparently heard that old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", because last year's darned-near-bulletproof TS3 digital camera has today been refreshed with the Lumix TS4, and at first glance it's hard to spot the differences.
The Panasonic TS4 is near-identical to its predecessor externally, save for a small red detail in the handgrip, and a rearrangement of...
Panasonic Corp. has today announced the Lumix TS20, a replacement for its 2010-model Lumix TS10 camera with a variety of changes including a new, more water-resistant body.
The Panasonic TS20 can be used at depths of up to 16 feet, a full six feet deeper than its predecessor. It also has a slightly higher-resolution 16 megapixel image sensor, and a wider 4x optical zoom lens...
Panasonic Corp. has today revealed two new ZS-series digital cameras, including one that it says sets a world record.
According to the company, the Panasonic ZS20 is the world's slimmest digital camera with a 20x optical zoom lens. At 1.3 inches thick, you won't be slipping it in a shirt pocket, but it's plenty slim enough to make an attractive travel-zoom camera, offering all...
Do you own (or plan to buy) a Panasonic Lumix GH2, but haven't quite come to grips with all those buttons and dials? Maybe you have one that already feels like an extension of your hand, but you still suspect there are a couple of hidden features you've missed.
Either way, O'Reilly Media's Rocky Nook brand just might have the book for you...
Just released, the 272-page 'The...
Rounding out its camera announcements for the Consumer Electronics Show, Panasonic has revealed two new long-zoom models that look well-suited to fans of traveling light: the Panasonic SZ7 and Panasonic SZ1.
Of the pair, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ7 is the significantly more powerful, largely thanks to its use of a MOS image sensor. This lets the SZ7 shoot full-resolution 14...
Continuing its CES show announcements, Panasonic Corp. has unveiled the Panasonic DMC-FH8 and Panasonic DMC-FH6 ultracompact digital cameras.
Of the duo, the Panasonic FH6--known in some markets as the FS40--is aimed more towards the entry level. Features include 14 megapixel resolution, a 5x optical zoom lens, 2.7-inch LCD display, and 720p MotionJPEG movie capture.

Panasonic Consumer Marketing Company of North America has announced a new entry-level digital camera for the Consumer Electronics Show which updates last year's Lumix DMC-S1 model, the Panasonic DMC-S2.
Accompanied by the launch of the DMC-S5 in some markets (as an update of the DMC-S3), the Panasonic Lumix DMC-S2 is a fairly straightforward update of its predecessor, with...
We roundly criticized the Panasonic FZ150's 14-megapixel predecessor as quite a step back when compared to Panasonic's other ultrazoom digital cameras, but they're back with a significantly improved design that actually reduces resolution and improves image quality enough to put them back in the winner's circle. The FZ150's excellent optics, 3-inch LCD, and solid build are now...
