Panasonic unleashed the world’s smallest and lightest digital interchangeable lens camera. The mouthful title actually means that the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G1 is a hybrid between digital single lens reflex cameras and traditional point-and-shoot digital cameras.
The LUMIX DMC-G1 employs the unique Micro Four Thirds system that eliminates the internal mirror structure of the camera therefore making it lightweight and more compact without losing superb image capturing capability.
The 12.1-MP camera can render images of up to 1.44 million pixels.
Aside from being the first of its kind, the camera also showcases other amazing features. It has a Live MOS Sensor which allows it to capture images in superb brilliance and clarity.
It also has an HDMI output and Venus Engine HD system, a technology that reduces noise in pictures while allowing customization of R, G and B colors of images.
It has the Supersonic Wave Filter Dust Reduction System that prevents dust accumulation in the image sensor, thereby protecting one of the most delicate parts of the camera.
The only sad news is that you will have to wait until October if you want to grab this camera.
