it looks great, but are they selling it for $400? Cant see this camera selling well when you have great m4/3s available. Take the design, give if an interchangeable lens and call it the GF2.
hey, what’s wrong with white? I have a white BMW F61 and just ordered a white F11. But I agree – a camera should be black. My LX3 is also black I don’t like the “fashion” colors of the G-Models that come in blue, grey or red.
Looks like a smart, nothing-radical upgrade. The longer focal range will be very welcome and I wish my Lx3 had it. It would be especially nice if it would remember your last zoom distance when you turn it on, so that you don’t always start wide.
That’s two (cameras) out of three disclosed. It seems that what we have seen so far are anticipated upgrades. When will the much anticipated third break cover? Will it be a rangefinder with a decent sensor?
Here are bigger pics of both the white and the black version. Where did they find those big pictures I thought the ones of the panasonic leak were smaller
Mmmm interesting! Maybe panasonic leaks more things to online magazines to create buzz!
FT= FourThirds
FT1=probably fake rumor
FT2=rumor from unkown sources
FT3=50% chance it is correct
FT4=rumor from known sources

it doesn’t seem so much different from the lx3, does it?
if the lx3 price comes down to the 200-250 Euro range I may get one instead…
what do you think for now?

Looks cool, but still I think the black is more serious looking for this camera!

Two thumbs up for Panasonic!!

The LX3 already remembers the last zoom position with the latest firmware, so probably the LX5 will do the same.
