Panasonic Announces 12-35mm f/2.8 Pro-Level Micro Four Thirds Zoom Lens
This is a great announcement for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera owners. Panasonic has announced a much-needed addition to the Micro Four Thirds lens options, a fast, fixed-aperture zoom lens. The new Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm/F2.8 Asph./Power O.I.S. zoom lens has a large f/2.8 aperture and the 12-35mm focal length is equivalent to […]
Read More »New Panasonic Lumix GF5 – Super Compact Interchangeable Lens Camera
Panasonic has a new, consumer-friendly Micro Four Thirds camera designed for people looking to step up from a point-and-shoot to their first interchangeable lens camera. With the exception of a new rubberized grip, the Lumix GF5 looks pretty much just like last year’s GF3. In spite of the similar styling, there are some significant changes […]

Panasonic has updated their venerable ZS line of pocket superzoom cameras with the new Lumix ZS20. Last year, one of my favorite compact cameras was Panasonic’s wonderful ZS10 pocket superzoom. Panasonic packed so much into the ZS10 – it’s the Swiss Army Knife of point-and-shoot cameras. I took it to Europe last summer and it […]
Read More »New Panasonic Lumix TS4 And TS20 Rugged Point-And-Shoot Cameras
Panasonic announced two new rugged outdoor point-and-shoot cameras, today. The 12-megapixel Panasonic Lumix TS4 is their new top-of-the-line, GPS-equipped waterproof, shockproof compact camera; and the Lumix TS20 is an affordable outdoor camera with a sub- $200 price tag. Both cameras are waterproof, freezeproof, dustproof and shockproof. But as Panasonic’s top dog rugged camera, the TS4 […]
Read More »Panasonic Lumix TS3 Rugged Outdoor Camera
The Panasonic Lumix TS3 is one of the best spec’d rugged point-and-shoot cameras available and one of the most popular cameras on PhotographyREVIEW.com. It’s got a 4.6x 28mm wide-angle Leica zoom lens and Panasonic reduced the resolution from 14 to 12-megapixels to improve image quality and it can capture 1920 x 1080 HD video as […]
Read More »Hands-On With The Panasonic Lumix GF3
The Panasonic Lumix GF3 camera was announced this June and I believe it’s the smallest interchangeable lens camera Panasonic has ever made. Its part of the Micro Four Thirds partnership between Panasonic and Olympus, who both make compact, interchangeable lens Micro Four Thirds cameras. I finally got a chance to see the GF3 in person […]
Read More »Panasonic Lumix ZS10 Review
The Panasonic Lumix ZS10 is what I call a pocket superzoom camera – it fits in your pocket and it’s got a ton of zoom – a 16x 24-384mm image-stabilized Leica zoom lens, to be exact. That’s a crazy amount of lens reach – especially for a camera that fits in the pocket of your […]
Read More »Panasonic Lumix FZ150 Superzoom Camera
The Panasonic Lumix FZ150 is a compact superzoom camera with a 24x 25-600mm (equiv.) zoom lens. One of the things that makes the 12-megapixel FZ150 interesting is that Panasonic actually lowered the resolution compared to the older, 14-megapixel FZ100. Why would they do that? Simple – lower resolution means better image quality. The FZ150 is […]

Last week, Panasonic announced a new point-and-shoot camera with built-in Wi-Fi. The 12-megapixel Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX90 has a fast 5x f/2.5 24mm wide-angle zoom lens, full HD video and a 3-inch 460k-dot touch screen LCD display. Those features alone add up to a great pocket camera. But of course, what really sets the FX90 apart […]
Read More »Panasonic Announces Two Micro Four Thirds Power Zoom Lenses
Panasonic made an interesting announcement last week – two new power zoom lenses for their G-Series Micro Four Thirds cameras. I believe these are the first compact system camera lenses with power zoom – usually that’s a point-and-shoot camera feature. The Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 45-175mm/F4.0-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. and the LUMIX G X […]

Read More »Panasonic Lumix GF3 Micro Four Thirds Camera Announced
Panasonic has a new compact, interchangeable lens Micro Four Thirds camera, the GF3. The Panasonic Lumix GF3 gets many of the features introduced a few weeks ago in the G3 (Panasonic Lumix G3 announcement) but in a smaller package and with a lower resolution 12-megapixel sensor. As far as basic specs, it’s very similar to […]

Leica announced a new pocket camera at the end of May, the V-Lux 30. I got in touch with them immediately and got what I believe is one of the first V-Lux 30s to reach the hands of a journalist. The V-Lux 30 is the latest compact camera from the Leica / Panasonic partnership, which […]
