Image on top: Just an imaginary fixed lens FT sensor camera based on the design of older Panasonic cameras.
Panasonic will soon announce the new LX100 with Four Thirds sensor and fixed zoom lens. It will record 4K video too 馃檪
Stay tuned!

Wouldn’t that be a new GX ?
no, this camera has a “fixed” (read: not interchangeable) zoom lens.
Should it mean it will be a fixed lens comact (something like Ricoh GR or Nikon Coolpix A)? Or it is supposed to have a zoom (so a competition to G1x II or RX100 III)?
That’s precisely my query all this time! I prefer a GR competitor than a zoom compact.
i shoot with a GR and i think the best competitor to the GR would be the same camera but with zoom capabilities.
Works like a LC1, with a big 16MP Sensor and 4k, a good idea !!!
I am confused – So this is not the new LX8 soon to be announced ? as it is a fixed zoom lens as well –
So this cannot be an update to the GX7 as it is not a fixed lens body –
So is Panasonic releasing the LX8 with a 1 inch sensor and this LX1000 with a m43 sensor ?
I think the LX1000 will be the update to the LX7, will have a fixed zoom lens, but the only thing in question is if it will have a 1″ sensor or 4/3 sensor. It would be pretty amazing to have a 24-90mm f/2-2.8 with a 4/3 sensor and keep it under the size of the G1X Mark II!!
I think it would be more than pretty amazing , I think it would defy the laws of physics even the smallest mFT body { gm1 with no VF, no flash mount etc] when mounted with either of the fixed F2.8 zooms is far larger than the G1X . You actually want a faster F2-F2.8 and longer 90mm instead of 70 or 80mm. I appreciate that a certain amount of size can be saved by having a built-in lens but it would be huge thus removing the main advantage of it.

Sounds pritty interesting! Still a GX8 (with 4K – wow) as a back up to the GH4 shall suit me better.
What i wish to have in my bag? A Fujifilm X 200 (expected), the GH4 and the GX8 (expected) plus some top lenses from 7 to 100 mm. Some accessories, but nothing more and nothing less.
