How small is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1? This small

The strength of the Micro Four Thirds standard is the compact size of the models that will use it, but the product shots of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 didn't give us a true sense of the camera's size. Drawing a box on paper the size of the 124 x 84 x 45mm dimensions didn't tell us much -- the lines don't seem much smaller than our trusty Olympus E-510 -- so we've been itching to see it in scale. We previewed the G1 upon its anouncement, but thanks to Flickr user Luc Saint-Elie we've got a chance to see it in the wild, and we're finally starting to get a sense of its proportions.

Panasonic announces pricing for Lumix DMC-G1 compact interchangable-lens camera

Panasonic announces pricing for Lumix DMC-G1 compact interchangable-lens cameraAs promised when the company announced its first camera to support the new micro Four Thirds standard that allows for SLR-esque features (such as interchangable lenses) in smaller cameras, Panasonic has just put out a press release to announce official pricing. The Lumix DMC-G1 will sell for $799.95 with a 14-45mm (28-90mm equivalent), f/3.5-5.6 kit lens when it ships in mid-November, putting it a lot closer in pricing to entry-level dSLRs like the Canon EOS XSi ($799.99) and EOS XS ($599.99) or Nikon D80 ($899.95) and D60 ($649.95) than high-end compact cameras like the Canon G10 ($499.95) or Panasonic’s own Lumix DMC-LX3 ($499.95).

How Micro Four Thirds has managed to make DSLRs look big and bulky

The first Micro Four Thirds camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, goes on sale at the end of this month. The G1 looks like a DSLR in miniature, even compared to today's smallest DSLRs. You can change lenses with the G1, but it's not actually a DSLR as there is no reflex mirror and prism for through the lens (TTL) viewing. Instead, there is a state of the art 1.4 megapixel electronic viewfinder. But this is no fancy bridge camera. The G1 has a DSLR-sized sensor, so just how can the G1 and, especially, its lenses be so small?

Panasonic officially prices Lumix G1, lens

Panasonic on Thursday announced more details regarding its Lumix DMC-G1 digital camera, first introduced last month.

Around the same time, Panasonic will release a telephoto lens for the camera, in the form of a 45-200mm Lumix G Vario, which will be priced at about $350.

Panasonic Lumix G

PanasonicPanasonic LUMIX G prototype : During a Panasonic Press event, at which the new Micro Four Thirds system was evaluated and further explained, Panasonic also revealed the development in process of a new Micro FourThirds system camera. Panasonic already claims that it will introduce the world's smallest High Definition system camera in 2009. More information will probably be revealed at the upcoming PMA 2009 in Las Vegas. The prototype referred to as Panasonic LUMIX G, seems quite similar to the new Panasonic LUMIX G1 however, at first sight a number of striking features stand out. On top of the body a (stereo) microphone is positioned and on the back, top right side, a red button especially for HD movie capture is placed.

I found some time to work with the new Panasonic G1 for a short period of time. As far as I'm concerned, this is the most interesting development of the year 2008. A while ago, Panasonic introduced the Micro FourThirds system in cooperation with Olympus, which is a further developed camera system based on the Four Thirds standard, shortly after which Panasonic introduced the new G1. This is even more surprising since you would not expect this kind of innovative modification to the interior of the traditional camera by an electronics manufacturer. On the other hand, perhaps you would expect it from a manufacturer as Panasonic, who might have a different view on photography.

Employees are clogging up small business servers with personal data warns Connect Small business servers are plagued with employee personal data and non-business related files

Connect, the IT services and support company for small to medium-sized businesses, has conducted a detailed audit of a range of enterprises to assess how much space non-work related software and data was taking up on the clients' servers. The server audit unveiled a significant increase in the amount of personal data stored on company servers. In some cases, up to 30% of the server was being taken up by personal data.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 Review: World's First Micro Four Thirds Digicam

Companies that aren't Canon or Nikon have it rough in the digital camera market—particularly outside the cheap point-and-shoot area. Some band together for strength in numbers, creating cooperative standards like Panasonic, Olympus and Leica's new Micro Four Thirds system—a spec for smaller cameras with digital viewfinders like a compact, but interchangeable lenses, manual controls and higher performance like a DSLR. We tested Panasonic's 13-megapixel Lumix G1, paying close attention to the fact that it's the first contender in a totally new camera category and—like that other G1, the Android smartphone—it sets the stage for what's to come.
