Panasonic’s full-frame mirrorless S1R is loaded with potential
Yesterday, Panasonic made a big splash by announcing the L-Mount alliance with Leica and Sigma, and unveiling its first full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Lumix S1 and S1R. The 24- and 47-megapixel cameras, respectively, are still prototypes and the specs aren’t final, but they look promising. Both have built-in image stabilization, a large, high-resolution EVF, triaxial […]
Panasonic’s LX100 II gets a resolution boost and touchscreen
Panasonic has launched the Lumix LX100 II, a compact camera for photographers who might want a bigger sensor than on models like Sony’s RX100 VI. The biggest change over the last model is a higher resolution 17-megapixel Four Thirds MOS sensor, a large boost over the 12.8-megapixel chip on the last model. It has much […]
Panasonic’s Android Toughbooks can swap batteries on the fly
Panasonic has launched two new handheld Toughbooks for the workplace, and in addition to being rugged, they also have removable batteries. To be precise, the company says their batteries are “warm swappable,” which likely means they be replaced without rebooting the devices. The Toughbook T1 phone has a 5-inch display and runs Android 8.1 Oreo […]
Panasonic’s ZS200 compact camera doubles down on zoom
Along with the all-new GX9, Panasonic launched the ZS200 compact superzoom, a successor to the excellent ZS100. The new model hasn’t massively changed, as it still offers a 1-inch, 20.1 megapixel sensor, 5-axis stabilization, 4K, 30 fps video and more. However, there’s enough new stuff there to make it interesting. Mainly, the Leica-built zoom lens […]
Panasonic’s LiDAR sensor will stop embarrassing robot falls
Far from the killing machines many fear, most commercial robots are tipsy contraptions that can barely see in front of them. Panasonic wants to help them out with its new 3D LiDAR specifically designed for mobile robots rather than autonomous cars. It can scan as wide as 60 degrees vertically and 270 degrees horizontally, allowing […]
Panasonic’s GH5 can now shoot widescreen 6K video
When Panasonic first unveiled its 4K powerhouse GH5 camera, it seemed to promise 6K, 30fps video. That only turned out to be a burst mode for stills, but now, Panasonic has actually made good by unveiling a 6K anamorphic, 4,992 x 3,744, 10-bit resolution video mode. On top of that, it made 4K more useful […]
Panasonic’s compact camera gets upgrade, while mirrorless models get ultra-wide lens
Panasonic’s pocket zoom camera is getting a makeover. On April 18, Panasonic launched the Lumix DC-ZS70, a compact camera with a 30x zoom. Along with the travel-friendly new point-and-shoot, the company also announced a new mirrorless lens, the Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 8-18mm f2.8-4 ASPH. The ZS70 is an update to the ZS60, launched in 2016, […]
Panasonic’s latest super-zoom camera also shoots selfies
Point-and-shoot cameras have had a bad rep lately, since they’re neither as convenient as a smartphone nor as powerful as a mirrorless cam or DSLR. However, there are a few areas where they still excel: they can include ridiculously long-zoom lenses in small bodies, and take selfies that would be difficult or impossible to manage […]
