Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 Review

10 Feb

For the full Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 review, go to www.infosyncworld.com We had to wait two years for Panasonic to revamp the LX3, so when we initially locked eyes with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5, a tidal wave of question marks bombarded our minds. How is this a different camera? Why has hardly anything changed on the outside? However, upon further investigation, it was apparent that nearly all of the LX5’s improvements resided under the hood, including AVCHD Lite with full manual video controls, gaggles of Art filters for creative expression, new image processing, and other enticing features. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 battles the Canon PowerShot G12 and Nikon Coolpix P7000, and we’ll tell you that the little LX5 gives both of the aforementioned giants a run for their money.

Panasonic promises high sensitivity sensors using ‘Micro Color Splitters’

04 Feb

Panasonic has devised a method to increase the sensitivity of image sensors, by replacing the near-universal colour filter array with prism-like ‘Micro Color Splitters’ to generate colour information. The key advantage is that all of the incoming light is directed to the sensor, instead of half or more being absorbed by the color filter dyes. This promises to deliver images with less noise in low light. The development is published in the journal Nature Photonics, and outlined in a press release on Panasonic’s website.
