Well, it's Panasonic's big day today! First up, we have a new Micro Four Thirds camera, the DMC-G5. In fact Panasonic lists 2013 to 2014 as possible dates.ĭ: Panasonic Lumix G X 35-100mm f/2.8 Lens Also, Panasonic teased two lenses, a 42.5mm f/1.2 and a 150mm f/2.8, but since these are development "announcements", don't expect them to come soon. ![]() Again, no word on pricing or availability. Compare this to the 70-200/2.8s legacy DSLRs have to use. It weighs 360g, or 12 oz, and is about 10cm/4" long. Weather-sealed as well, like the 12-35mm f/2.8, this is a small small lens. Panasonic also announced the optically stabilised 35-100mm f/2.8 lens. I hope it's the former and not the latter. There is no word on availability or pricing, but the latter figures I have been seeing include US$1300 to US$2000. The layout system looks really good (ISO button in the right place), and yea, you can tell, I am smitten. It features a new AF system that promises to be really fast with a claimed 0.07 seconds acquisition speed, a new weather-resistant magnesium alloy body, twin control dials, new OLED 3" VGA screen and OLED HD EVF, 6 FPS continuous stills shooting, and the star of the show: 1080p videos at 60 FPS, in codecs that go from 50 Mbps to 72 Mbps, depending on the type. ![]() ![]() Who wants to donate? The new Panasonic GH3 is my current mirrorless camera of choice, provided the new 17 megapixel (16 megapixel output) sensor delivers on its image quality promise.
