Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1

Panasonic has placed intro and demo videos for the Micro Four Thirds DMC-GX1 on its website, just in time to whet our appetites for the camera's rumored November 8th announcement. The intro video confirms previous leaks of a built-in flash,16-megapixel sensor from the Panasonic G3, and an improved imaging engine we now know is called "Venus." The camera also has the interchangeable X lenses we've been expecting and a roughly 1.44-megapixel attachable viewfinder option. We'll find out if it lives up to the promise of out-shooting any previous Panasonic Micro Four Thirds camera when we get our hands on one; in the meantime, hit the source for …

Panasonic GX1 Mobile01

It's a rare camera that makes it to market without getting leaked, and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 is not one of those - as you can see from this leaked pic, it just happens to be a stunning black Micro Four Thirds shooter paired with one of the amazingly compact X-series lenses Panasonic introduced a few months back. The shots, out of Taiwan's Mobile01 forum, don't reveal much about the innards beyond a retractable flash, stereo microphones, full HD video recording and the lack of an electronic viewfinder, but rumors detailed some other possibilities a few days ago. Reportedly, it'll have a 16-megapixel sensor, a new and improved image proc …

According to the report, the image quality improvement will beat out any Panasonic Micro Four Thirds camera to date, even though the GX1 has the same 16-megapixel image sensor as the older Panasonic G3. It's an interesting move - the G3 has an excellent reputation for capturing detail, and the new processor is said to improve low-light performance above ISO 1600, all the way to ISO 12800.

The GX1 is expected to be announced in the next fe …
