Photokina 2014: Panasonic’s LX100 is a P&S Camera that Shoots 4K
Thursday, September 18, 2014
If you think that the Samsung NX1 is still a bit bulky for your taste, you should definitely consider Panasonic’s newly announced Lumix LX100.
The camera boasts a 12.8MP sensor with an 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 aperture lens. The LX100’s lens is composed of five aspherical lenses including two ED lens elements. It has a maximum ISO range of 25600 and is capable of recording UHD video at 30 fps in mp4 format. It is also capable of recording Full HD clips at 60fps in AVCHD Progressive or MP4 format.
At the back of the camera is a 2764-dot LCD electronic viewfinder with 0.7x equivalent magnification and a 3-inch display that is unfortunately, non-touch. The LX100 also features two dials at the top for basic modes and exposure settings. Other notable features of the LX100 include built-in Wi-Fi and NFC as well as in-camera Raw conversion.
The camera doesn’t have a built-in flash, but does have a hot shoe on which other accessories can be connected. Panasonic will start shipping the LX100 by November for $899.
