Check out the classically designed Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1.
Panasonic moved confidently into the interchangeable-lens digital SLR camera market Sunday when it showed its first offering – the Lumix DMC-L1 – at the PMA Show in Florida. The DMC-L1 is clearly designed to appeal to traditional silver-halide enthusiasts as the controls and classic design are reminiscent of traditional analogue cameras – there’s a shutter speed control dial on the camera body and an aperture ring on the new Leica D Vario-Elmarit 14-50mm/F2.8-3.5 lens (with with Optical Image Stabilization).
Panasonic has proudly developed the new Live MOS sensor using its original Maicovicon technology. The 4/3 type Live MOS sensor with 7.5 million pixels helps capture the beautiful images of a CCD sensor with delicate gradation and a wide dynamic range, whilst suppressing energy consumption as only a CMOS sensor can do. Noise is also minimised thanks to a special processing technology that runs on voltage as low as 5V.
