Some buzz is flying around about the
Lumix LX3 being discontinued. This is very hectic and we should all relax, but maybe it is time for some fun speculation?
Lumix LX4? Already soon? What if? Maybe this is a great time to communicate some of the users request for the future LX3 upgrade that is going to happen anyway. Just some inspiration. I have rarely seen so much hype about a digital compact camera and I am sure we will know what is going on really soon.
In the meantime here is what I think.
So the real deal,
Lumix LX4. I am dropping some (
speculated) specs as well as personal requests that will hopefully match with most of the users expectations.
LX4 (reasonable & necessary upgrades):- ISO 800 should look like the current ISO 400
(or even better)- All film modes should be usable in any shooting mode (ex: movie)
- 1080p HD video mode (with black and white dynamic !!!)
- Improved and consistent menu
- Intervalometer function
- Less expensif and diverse accessories (remote controller, filter holder,...)
- Mechanical lens cap
(if it stays with a single zoom lens)- Longer zoom 24-105mm
(if it stays with a single zoom lens)- Better grip
- Bulb mode
- . . .
LX4 (dream ful & unreasonable specs):- Interchangeable lenses introduced with the
micro 4/3- Integrated automated HDR function
- Polaroid , lomo, .. just some fun color modes
- Square image format (1:1)
- Built in Wifi (image transfer)
- mini USB plug
- charging via USB
- 1000 fps recording (just kidding, well the
EX-FH20 does it)
- . . .
