Panasonic Lumix L1 Details

Editors' Comments

Panasonic reveals their first ever Digital SLR after years of cameras that straddled that fine line between the mainstream and the professional. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 is the result of a partnership with Olympus, and as such, the L1 has a little in common with the Olympus E-330, like the real time, live view LCD and 7.5 megapixel CMOS sensor. For an SLR, the L1 looks remarkably clean and straightforward, with a simple, smooth body design that makes it look stylish and approachable to all users. The SD card storage makes this a lightweight and compact construction, and with the new SDHC cards, you can achieve storage capacities up to and potentially greater than 2GB.

Panasonic L1 Specifications
