From a japanese blog:
“The GL1 is about the same size as the E-P1. With EVF without the body’s built-in IS“
Our opinion:
Our sources told us the compact Micro Four Thirds Panasonic camera will have EVF and NO in body IS. The image is a FAKE ! But may close to the real camera…

Something like that would be lovely – a digital Leica CL. This would be the fake I would produce!
I hope this is true. I know the G1 & GH1 are both really good cameras, but I simply couldn’t get past the look of them. If I wanted a Canon Rebel I’d buy a Canon Rebel.
As the proud owner of the Panasonic LC-1, it is little to say that I hope that this fake image is close from the actual forthcoming m43 camera. Still skeptical though: the recent Panasonic are uniformly ugly (hence ”mainstream”, see G1 / GH1) to my taste. On top of this, the exceptional build quality of the LC-1 has its price: something circa 1600 USD upon release.
That’s a photoshopped picture of the Panasonic L1 so I don’t see how it could be close to the real camera.
I told you already that it is a fake image. But the designer has been close to the real camera- So sources told me…
NO in body IS
oh NOoooo….
Just another piece of hardware Panasonic can’t deliver. Nothing to get excited about.
Panasonic can deliver, but they don’t want to due to strong Yen compared to the other currency. They can’t make money selling those thin profit high-end camera overseas, so they decided to export cheap cameras only.
nevre,
So then Nikon, Canon, and Sony must be using some other Yen?
me likey!
MOAR!
Yes please!!!
Clean design…. I need it!!
excellent design
design of gh1 is so bad, it’s the only reason i will not buy it
I like this…looks weird but good, so even if its a fake, it still looks better than the GF1 mock-ups seen on this site…
Pinch me!!!!!!!!!!
Boyz n girlz, if it’s true, I’m selling my Canon gear. The DMC-LC1 is a fabulous camera, I used one for 3 years. I only wished for:
– higher resolution with bigger sensor for DOF
– interchangeable lenses (Leica M or dedicated)
– better EVF
I can’t see the pop-up flash on this one, though. The one on the LC-1 with the bounce option was a stunner. I actually regretted selling that baby and decided to buy the successor if there is one. However, Pana has not matched that beast yet.
The Digilux-3 with the porro finder was a dead end, and hugely overpriced.
G1 and GH1 — good concept but the ugliest buggers ever (red and blue body? Yuck)
Fingers crossed it is true. Countdown on the microsite says twoo weeks and a bit to go.
tha’ts just a photo of a really old pany model called the lc-1, it never really flew, but it’s a nice thought though
