Panasonic Lumix TZ100 review by CameraLabs

TZ100

The new Panasonic TZ100 is not a MFT camera but one of the best fixed lens compacts on marked. CameraLabs posted their TZ100 review and writes

There are 1in class cameras with pocket bodies and brighter lenses, but their zoom range is much shorter, typically 4x or less – for example the Canon G7X, Canon G9X and Sony RX100 IV. There are 1in class cameras with longer zooms, but their bodies are much larger too – for example the Canon G3X or Sony RX10 II. But right now there’s nothing out there which couples a 1in sensor with a 10x zoom in a pocketable body, and impressively also gives you a built-in viewfinder and 4k video.
As of early 2016, there’s nothing to match it if you desire the quality of a 1in sensor with a longish zoom that will fit in your pocket.

Panasonic says Android-powered cameras are in the works!

[shoplink 58774 ebay]androidPana[/shoplink]
The so far only Android powered Panasonic “camera” is the [shoplink 58774 ebay]Lumix CM1[/shoplink]

StuffTV reports:

At a round table session at Panasonic Benelux, Panasonic’s Michiharu Uematsu told Stuff Netherlands that an Android-powered camera would be on the way “very soon”. “The interface from our cameras is sometimes experienced as too difficult,” Uematsu explained. “This will be solved quickly [with Android]. It’s an open OS and easy to use.”

I would be surprised to see Panasonic using Android on MFT cameras. So far the implementation we saw was made on the [shoplink 58774 ebay]Panasonic Lumix CM1[/shoplink]. What do you think about it?


Thanks Jan for finding and sharing this!

a bit of everything…

Tropischer Orchideenzauber – Blumengärten Hirschstetten (Christian Mari).

Anonymous:just for fun ;) This is what I imagined, with the help of a little photoshopping, a FourThirds 300 f4 might have looked like back in 2009. That dream never came to fruition but after 7 long years we finally have a 300 F4 for Microfourthirds! I think it has some similarities to the current lens, but I didn’t foresee the lens IS system…

JR:I would like to share my short action-comedy miniseries shot primarily with the GH4. In particular for Episode 1, we acquired a pair of massive Fujinon Cabrio Premier PL lenses, which allowed us to execute some very fun and retro crash zooms in addition to delivering tack-sharp, quality footage.
