Panasonic: Announces Two New Cameras and High-Speed Compatible Zoom Lens
LUMIX GM5 Interchangeable Single Lens Camera (DSLM) plus 12-32mm Kit Lens
This full-featured, micro four-thirds DSLM captures superior images with its high-resolution live viewfinder and 16MP Digital Live MOS Sensor that enables image recording with far less noise, even with a maximum ISO of 25600.
The Panasonic LUMIX GM5 offers additional features such as Focus Peaking; Face, Eye and Low Light AF sensor; built-in Wi-Fi® and remote functionality with mobile devices using the Panasonic app. It is available in black or red and retails for USD 899.00.
LUMIX LX100 Integrated Leica DC Lens Zoom Camera with Advanced Controls
The LUMIX LX100 is Panasonic’s third 4K camera and fifth 4K capture device – far ahead of today’s market. The LX100 uses dedicated lens rings and dials, and incorporates a large 4/3-inch, high sensitivity MOS sensor with selectable, multi-aspect ratios. An integrated Live View Finder with 2,764-dot equivalent high resolution delivers approximately 100% color reproduction for excellent visibility when shooting under strong sunlight.
In addition to 4K Ultra HD video recording, the LX100 can make amazing prints from 3840 x 2160 MP equivalent stills pulled out of 4K video footage. The sophisticated LEICA lens system features F1.7-2.8 brightness, high speed and crisp detail corner-to-corner, and ultra-high speed AF in approximately 0.14 seconds.
The LUMIX LX100 has additional features such as built-in Wi-Fi® and remote control availability with mobile devices using the Panasonic app. It is currently available in black and has a retail price of USD 899.00.
LUMIX G VARIO Ultra Compact Zoom 35-100mm / F4.0-5.6 Lens
Complementing the LUMIX DSLM cameras, this lens has an ultra-compact profile and a versatile focal distance of 35-100mm (equivalent to 70-200mm on a 35mm camera). With its impressively defocused background, this is the ideal lens for shooting powerful portraits and close-ups with any micro four-thirds camera. Its retail price is USD 399.00.
