Panasonic Lumix LX5
This is about Panasonic Lumix LX5, Panasonic may be pushing Micro Four Thirds tech these days, but that doesn’t mean it’s forgotten about the pocketable high-end — in fact, full spec sheets and pictures have just leaked from the company’s technical support website, detailing the unannounced latest in the Lumix LX lineup.
The 10.1 megapixel DMC-LX5 doesn’t have any revolutionary new features, sadly, but it certainly brings the 2008 LX3 predecessor up to spec in nearly every way, with a longer 3.8x optical zoom lens by Leica, 12,800 ISO mixed-pixel sensitivity and a familiar-sounding AVCHD Lite 720p video recording mode. Slightly heavier due to a larger 1250mAh battery, the camera supports SDXC memory cards this time round, has an anti-glare coating on the 3-inch LCD and thankfully replaces those bulky breakout component cables with a mini-HDMI out. There’s also an optional electronic viewfinder and a jog dial on the back, but we don’t want to ruin all your fun unearthing these gems; peruse the specs yourself at our source link.
