Panasonic have just announced the New Panasonic Lumix GX1 to join their Lumix G range of interchangeable lens cameras. The specifications are as follows:

• LUMIX G Micro System - Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera
• High Image Quality with 16.0 - megapixel Live MOS Sensor and Venus Engine
• Advanced AF System with High Speed, High Accuracy and Touch Operation
• Easy Manual Control with a Variety of Shooting Assist Functions
• Finest Tuning in Every Part of the Camera
• 1920 x 1080 Full-HD High Quality Video Recording
• Outstanding Performance in Power, Speed and Image Processing

Initial thoughts on the Panasonic Lumix GX1 are very positive. Its design shows that it has reverted back to traditional mode wheels and hot-shoe which will be a welcome change, and will also still maintain a touch-panel LCD (not just touch screen, like the Panasonic Lumix GF2 & GF3). As most general photography is impulsive, this means functions can be more quick & easy to change and this will be far more popular amongst traditionalist photographers.
