Image on top: The NEX-7 could get a strong competition from the Panasonic GX1?
I got one more prof that the rumored Panasonic GX1 camera is real! One of my trusted sources sent me the official product codes of the camera:
DMC-GX1k: That’s a camera with lens (no idea which one)
DMC-GX1x: That’s the camera with the new [shoplink 25104]14-42mm X lens.[/shoplink].
Usually when I get the product codes we can expect the new camera to be announced within the next 3-4 months. I bet the camera will be announced right before the CES which starts in early January in Las Vegas.
I have no specs about the camera yet. The big question is if the camera has a Sony NEX-7 (Click here to see that camera) alike built-in viewfinder. A sort of m43 verison of the [shoplink 23692 ebay]Panasonic L1 (See that cam on eBay)[/shoplink]. If you have some rumor to share feel free to send me a text by using the anonymous contact bar on the right sidebar! Thanks!
P.S.: EosHD got some specs about a camera he calls GFX1. It should have a built-in EVF, 920k LCD, new sensor, Full HD video at 60p and 24p and Same battery as the GH2. One of my trusted sources said that the rumor is wrong.
