Panasonic will launch new compact cameras on July 21. The most advanced compact camera will be the Panasonic LX5.
For those of you interested in FourThirds and MicroFourThirds only: Panasonic made a very advanced new sensor for the LX5. It is very likely that some of those new features will be inside the new FourThirds sensor.
Bye the way, the same korean website that leaked the FZ100 also leaked the LX5:
Say bye bye to the gloriuos Panasonic LX3!
Last minute update -> Panasonic also registered the FX700:

Haha I knew I was right about the release rate. 😀
Lets hope the new sensor is something really great and better in performance compared to competition (maybe backlit?). Or there will be no point in buying it.
well! Panasonic finally revealed LX5! I’m now waiting for the camera to be offically released. It’s being a pleasure for person like me……… because I would have bought lx3 if 43rumors didn’t told me real-time rumors!
I’m trying to guess what it would look like^^ It should be fantastic!
So basically buying a LX3 right now could be an investment and become a legendary piece of equipment.
Let me see where I can get one just for keeps.
I have really high hopes in that sensor… hopefully bigger and backlit
finally, the LX3 successor is coming soon. Panasonic! surprise us wit all the killer features on the LX5!
And no, I won’t sell off my LX3. It’s been doing a great job and it deserve to be a legendary piece of equipment!
I agree. I am curious about LX5, but LX3 will remain one of the best compact camera till now.
anyone know any information or rumors about gf2, the features and possible announce time? can’t wait. thx
Wait one month brain 😉
So it seems that panasonic releases the successors of its important cameras exactly one or two years after the release of the previous model.
For the LX series replacement time is 1-2 years, for the GF is 1 year and the TZ/ZS again 1 year.
Cant wait for the first review of the lx5 and comparisons with s90 and LX3!
What will be the price of the Lx5, anyone wants to guess?
ynx

My guess about the price is 450-500 $. But there is a lot of competition so if might fall soon!
So do we have any new infiormation on the actual specs? Whats so different about the new sensor?
