The LX100 will look very close to the “old” LC1 you see here on top.
Panasonic is going to launch a little fixed lens compact camera on September 15! The new LX100 is said to have a large Four Thirds sensor with a bright and very useful 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 lens! The camera is very compact and can record 4K video too! Still, we don’t know what the price will be…
And here are two more images of the other fixed lens compact from Fuji (via Digicameinfo). The Fuji X100t will be announced tomorrow (Sept 10):

Hello,
this LC-1 / L1 (I still have both) look sounds attractive but highly unlikely to me, for these date back a time where Leica and Panasonic were working hand in hand on new models. The LC-1 design borrowed from the Leica Digilux 2, up to a modified shape from the upper corners of the camera and the fact that it was solely available in black while the Leica rested on silver.
I’m confused by this statement:
“The new LX100 is said to have a large Four Thirds sensor”
4/3 camera sensors come in only one size and I’ve never seen the adjective “large” used to describe them.
hello khurt,
guess that by saying “large M4/3” he refers to the fact that those sensors are larger than the 1′ sony rx100 series sensor. after all, the MIII of the sony CSC is the “hype” of that category, and it is fair if we compare those new bodies to it.
This mft goes to 11.
I somehow still do not believe such camera will come. But if it was true, it would be the best fixed lens compact by now: bigger sensor than RX100, a bit faster and longer lens than the Sony, and with EVF (if it is built-in) better than Canon G1x II. The FZ1000 has a swift AF, so I guess it will be the same here. So we will see soon.
