The video clip released on the Panasonic website a few months ago had caused major discussion, the newest model from the Micro 4/3 lineup-the Lumix GX1 is finally launched in Hong Kong. The external design of Lumix GX1 carries forward the form factor and styling from GF1, such as the prominent mode dial and the metal body. GX1 is further improved with a faux leather handle for steady grip as well as enhancing the texture of the camera. It features a 16.01 megapixel Live MOS sensor and the powerful Venus Engine image processor which allows low light images to be taken at ISO 12800. The focus speed clocks in at an astonishing rate of 0.09 seconds and is able to produce full-resolution images at a speed of 4.2 frames per second. In addition, GX1 is the first G-series camera with AF-F to avoid out focus and less predictable movements. By half pressing the shutter, GX1 can detect the subject’s movement and minimizes the chance of a blurring image. Without a doubt, the mirror-less compact Lumix GX1 can surely perform at a professional level.
