Panasonic unveils new compact camera

It features a new Leica 24mm ultra-wide-angle Vario-Summilux lens with 3.8 optical zoom (the equivalent of a 24-90mm zoom lens on a 35mm format camera).

The lens also offers superior capabilities in low light conditions, thanks to its super wide f1.4 aperture, with f2.3 at the tele-end. According to its press release, the f1.4 lens is about 400 per cent as bright as a f2.8 lens, which is, in itself, considered a bright lens.
The camera sports a 1/1.7-inch 10.1 megapixel MOS Sensor that has improved signal-to-noise ratio over its predecessor, and its image processor Venus Engine boasts advanced signal processing - which keeps resolution high by optimising the Noise Reduction (NR) on each part of the photograph. The multi-process NR quickly detects brightness in each part of the picture and applies optimum noise reduction in multiple steps.
The LX7 puts control in the hands of the photographer with its Program, Aperture, Shutter and Manual modes.
The light source can be adjusted via its newly equipped aperture ring, internal Neutral Density (ND) filter, focus level and rear dial.
The internal ND allows users to open the aperture to get visible defocus or to slow things down to express the flow - or splash of water - by using a slower shutter speed. Its new focus level feature detects the horizontal and vertical angle of view with an acceleration sensor so pictures are kept straight.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 is available at a retail price of S$799 for both black and white colours.
