The DMCGX1 will hit stores in the next few weeks and design wise it looks like a cross between the Lumix DMCGF1 and the DMCLX5.
The camera looks cool though!

Panasonic Announce New Lumix GX1
Panasonic have announced yet another addition to their ever growing family of G series system cameras.
The DMCGX1 will hit stores in the next few weeks and design wise it looks like a cross between the Lumix DMCGF1 and the DMCLX5.
In keeping with the retro styling of the camera, Panasonic seem to have gone back to the 1990's for the concept of this promotional video.
The camera looks cool though!

Panasonic Lumix DMCG3 Review
After having seen a pre-production version at Panasonic UK last month, the waiting is over...... and it was worth the wait!
This latest addition to Panasonic's G series range is the successor to the phenomenally successful DMCG2.
The camera body is significantly smaller than the G2, but still has a good ergonomic feel, in size it sits between the G2 and the slightly slimmer GF2. Unlike the GF2, The G3 retains the 3 inch free angle touch screen and an improved electronic viewfinder.
New improvements include an amazing Light Speed 0.1 second auto focus, pin point focus mode for super accurate focusing, an incredible 20 frames per second burst shooting mode (resolution is reduced from 16 megapixels to 4 megapixels), full screen touch focusing, 1920 x 1080i resolution HD video, a new stereo microphone, and intelligent auto plus, which allows for fine tuning of colour preferences, but retaining the point and shoot simplicity of the standard intelligent auto mode.
The camera is available in a kit with a lumix 14-42mm lens or body only. The body is available in choice of black, red or white finishes.
There are eleven micro four thirds lenses currently available from Panasonic at the time of writing, with adaptors available to enable use of Leica R mount and M mount lenses, and an adaptor to allow the use of full size four thirds lenses
I have only had it a day, so I haven't had too much time to play with it, but the experience so far is great. There are some really neat touches, like the peripheral de-focus feature, which allows you to pick out an area on the touch screen to focus on, and the camera does the job of blurring the surrounding area for you, creating artistic looking shots within seconds.
I love this camera, it's small enough to be practical to carry around, but with all the creative control and quality of a bigger SLR camera.
