Awesome Lumix

Panasonic’s latest micro 4/3 camera has the fastest autofocus among interchangeable lens models at just 1/10th of a second. It is also compatible with the world’s first 3D interchangeable lens.

Unveiled at CEATEC 2010, Panasonic’s latest addition to the Lumix digi-cam line is also a mobile phone, equipped with a massive 13.2-megapixel CMOS senso and a 3.3″ touchscreen.

Panasonic’s mid-size digicam snaps 14.1-mp stills with a 24x optical zoom 25mm wide-angle lens and full manual controls. Grabs up to 60 fps (at 3.5-mp) for quick action shots, and 1080/60i HD video.

The Big P’s latest digicam features an ultra wide-angle 28mm F2.0 Leica lens, a high-sensitivity 10.1-megapixel CCD, and a hi-res 3-inch LCD. Shoots 720p HD video in AVCHD Lite mode too.

Panasonic makes an incremental (but essential) update to their four-thirds line with the Lumix DMC-GH1: it’s essentially the G1 but with the ability to record 1080p/24p HD video.
