Panasonic launches the Lumix DMC-LX3 camera
21 Jul 2008
Panasonic has launched the successor to the DMC-LX2, according to CNNMoney. com.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 digital camera has 10.1 megapixels, an ultra-senstivite 1/1.63-inch CCD and a F2.0 24 mm Leica DC Vario-Summicron lens.
Panasonic said: “The DMC-LX3 is ideal for professional photographers and serious amateurs looking for a compact digital camera that furthers their creative photography.”
The company said it specifically chose 10.1 megapixels for the camera so it would work well with its 1/1.63-inch CCD as each pixel has more space.
Noise generation was also minimised so saturation increased by 35 per cent and sensitivity grew by 40 per cent when compared to the technology company’s ten MP digital cameras.
The lens has also been updated so it is now twice as bright as the F2.8 lens. Combined with the ability to take a picture at a higher shutter speed, pictures taken in a dimly lit space will be clear and blur-free, according to Panasonic.
Last month the company announced it will officially be known as Panasonic, instead of Matsushita which the company was legally called.
