When did the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 come out?
Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 Review. On February 26th 2006, in a packed press conference on the first day of PMA 2006 Panasonic revealed their first digital SLR, the DMC-L1. The DMC-L1 represents another first, it’s the first non-Olympus Four Thirds digital SLR which has to be good news for the system which has up until now been an Olympus only affair.
What kind of sensor does the Panasonic L1 have?
The L1 features the same 7.5 megapixel ‘LiveMOS’ sensor used in the E-330 (which we now know is manufactured by Panasonic), this provides the camera with TTL live view capability in a similar manner to the E-330.
Is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 a NFC camera?
The DMC-LF1 is also one of the first cameras to feature NFC (Near Field Communication) technology (the same technology that’s used for mobile payments), which allows you to connect the LF1 to a compatible internet enabled device or another NFC-enabled camera by simply tapping them together.
What are the specs of a Panasonic Lumix LF1?
The LF1 offers a 7x, 28-200mm f/2.0-5.9 zoom lens, large 1/1.7-inch 12 megapixel MOS sensor, integrated 0.2″ electronic viewfinder, 3-inch rear LCD display, 10fps burst shooting, an ISO range of 80-12,800 and 1920×1080 50i Full HD movie recording.
How much does a Panasonic DMC-L1 digital SLR cost?
The L1 is a 7.5-megapixel digital SLR featuring live monitor view (only the second digital SLR to do so) and supplied with a fast f/2.8–3.5 Leica-branded lens. It currently sells on the high street for a whopping £1,349.99, although it is available from at least one online retailer for around £1,150.
What kind of monitor does the Panasonic L1 have?
The L1 has a nice sharp 2.5-in LCD monitor with 207k pixels, but whereas the E-330 had a hinged monitor which was useful for overhead or waist-level shooting using the live view mode, the monitor on the L1 is fixed so it doesn’t have this advantage. In fact it’s hard to name any advantage that the L1 has at all.
What’s the difference between the DMC-L1 and E-330?
Unlike the E-330 however the DMC-L1 does not have a secondary Live View CCD and so provides only one Live View mode, this is known as ‘B mode’ on the E-330 and utilizes the main image sensor. The downside to this is that although the DMC-L1 provides auto focus in Live View it requires the mirror to be lowered and raised again during focusing.
