Posted by Photo-John on May 2, 2013 · 0 Comment
There have been a lot of interesting compact cameras announced this year. But the new Panasonic Lumix LF1 is one of the most interesting yet. It’s the first of a new line of “LF” cameras from Panasonic. Note the similarity to Panasonic’s high-end “LX” designation. That’s no accident. Like the LX cameras, the new LF1 has a large 1/1.7-inch sensor, a fast (f/2.0) Leica zoom lens, manual [...]

Panasonic Lumix LX7 – Premium Compact Camera With f/1.4 Zoom Lens
Posted by Photo-John on July 23, 2012 · 0 Comment
Last week, Panasonic announced their latest high-end compact camera, the Lumix LX7. It’s been two years since the LX5 was introduced and there’s some serious competition in the high-end compact camera space so an update was long overdue. The Panasonic Lumix LX7’s new 3.8x 24-90mm f/1.4-2.3 Leica zoom lens has the largest aperture of any compact camera currently on the market, including the Sony’s [...]

Posted by Photo-John on July 18, 2012 · 0 Comment
Panasonic just announced the 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-FZ200, the world’s first superzoom camera with a large, f/2.8 aperture – a fixed f/2.8 aperture, I mean. The FZ200’s Leica zoom lens can open up to f/2.8 across the whole 24x zoom range, from 25 to 600mm (equivalent). That’s an impressive achievement for a compact, consumer-level superzoom camera. Most superzoom cameras have lenses with [...]

Panasonic Lumix SZ5 Wi-Fi Pocket Superzoom Camera
Posted by Photo-John on July 18, 2012 · 0 Comment

Case in point – Panasonic’s new SZ5 pocket superzoom camera makes it easier to share photos on the Web by using a smartphone as a wireless router so you can transfer images to the phone and then upload them to your favorite social networking site.

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.

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 on the inside of the GF5.

Panasonic Lumix ZS20 – Pocket Camera With 20x Optical Zoom
Posted by Photo-John on February 1, 2012 · 0 Comment
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 was the perfect pocket travel camera – able to take pictures [...]

Hands-On With The Panasonic Lumix GF3

Panasonic Lumix ZS10 Review
Posted by Photo-John on October 13, 2011 · 0 Comment
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 Levis. Because they’re so versatile and easy to carry, pocket superzooms like the ZS10 [...]
Panasonic Lumix FZ150 Superzoom Camera
Posted by Photo-John on September 6, 2011 · 0 Comment
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 also faster adding full HD video at 60 frames-per-second [...]

Posted by Photo-John on September 2, 2011 · 0 Comment
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 VARIO PZ 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./ POWER [...]
