I hope the new LX100 looks like the gorgeus [shoplink 46868 ebay]Panasonic LC1[/shoplink] you see here on top :)

Good news folks! The Panasonic LX100 fixed lens and Four Thirds sensor camera will come with an exciting zoom lens: 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8!!! The camera can record 4K, has built-in EVF and will be announced next week on September 15!

I have no info about the price yet and no info about the sensor but I suspect it will use the same 16 MP GH4 sensor. I have been told the camera is surprisingly compact too! Here is the short question:

Stay tuned on 43rumors and follow the event live on September 15!

Note: One source told me initial aperture is f/1.8 and another f/1.7. But I “believe” the second source is right ;)

UPDATE: I have been requested to remove the image from Martin Wagner who posted the Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO lens and 1.4x teleconverter pictures apparently without Olympus approval. Curious though that Olympus Australia itself posted an image of the lens yet. Sounds like there is a communication problem within Olympus :)
