Panasonic has revealed that it will launch a new digital camera to add to its Lumix range on September 12th.

Its new SLR will be the natural successor the successful DMC-L10 and will be a single lens reflex camera, reports NetworkWorld. com.

While no details have been released by the manufacturer, the product is going to take the number of Lumix digital SLR’s in the range to three.

The DMC-L10 was unveiled last year at the Photokina show in Germany and it is thought that at this year’s event, Panasonic’s new offering will feature prominently in its line-up.

A statement from the company said that its latest camera “offers unique features to set a new trend in digital SLR photography.”

The Lumix LX3 features a wide-angle lens, three-inch LCD screen and a 1/1.63 inch 10.1 megapixel CCD.

Panasonic’s website claims that this enables pixels to be 45 per cent larger, which results in sensitivity and saturation being up to 40 per cent higher than in standard models.
