Contact me at 43rumors@gmail.com if you want share your “rumors”. We really want to know when Panasonic is going to announce the camera :)

UPDATE: We were told that there is a large sensor compact camera (announcement in July) AND a LX3 small sensor successor (announcement in September). We don’t know yet if the first camera will be called LX5 and the second something else or viceversa. Sorry for the confusion! Some of our sources can help us to clear that open question? Thanks!
