Panasonic Lumix Camera Review

One of the most essential downsides to choosing Dslrs is the added bulk, and photography enthusiasts who were looking to make the shift to professional cameras are often turned-off by the sheer size of most models. Ever since the first compact interchangeable lens camera was released, investment has been up as to the hereafter of the compact camera market.

The Limitations in Dslrs Technology
To begin with Dslr cameras came in-built with large sensors and a mirror box that well hindered video recording. The first video-compatible releases from Nikon, the D90, and later Canon's Eos 5D set new standards to Dslr technology. The Micro Four-Thirds mirror-less law was first established in late 2008, and since then there has truly been no turning back with Slr models getting permanently upgraded with new highlight enhancements.

Resolving the Size Issue
Given that Panasonic and Olympus have been true pioneers in developing the technology that would be the basis that breaks the size barrier, the first few Slr models that promised much smaller designs were from Panasonic. The Lumix range of Dslr releases were nearly two times lighter than the first Nikon releases that could shoot video footage, a essential achievement for Dslrs at that time. The Lumix Dmc-G1 from Panasonic was the first mirror-less interchangeable lens camera to be released, and proved to be a milestone release even though it could not description videos.

Video Compatibility
Although the first few compact models could shoot only still pictures, Olympus changed that with the Pen E-P1, a breakthrough release that could shoot Hd videos at 720p. Panasonic's Lumix Gf1 was other essential model that impacted the compact interchangeable lens category, given its ergonomic design that still supported high-definition video recording with plenty of customization options in-built. The year 2009 saw a string of releases from Olympus and Panasonic, which set the stage for the dynamic compact interchangeable lens design, creating a visually enchanting range of models that at once set them apart from the typical Dslr blueprint.

When New Technologies Unfold
As with any technological innovation, competition spurred other camera manufacturers to invest in engineering developed mirror-less systems to compete with the Micro Four-Thirds technology. The use of Aps-C sensors on models such as Samsung's Nx100 promised many highlight enhancements, although several downsides such as poor video recording fast turned this into yet other learning curve.

The True compact Dslr Arrives
The Alpha Nex range of sophisticated releases from Sony well and truly marked the age of the compact interchangeable-lens camera. With resolutions up to 14.2 megapixels, excellent video and still photograph quality, and a revolutionary panaromic mode, the Nex-5 offered 3D compatibility and design specs that were nothing short of spectacular. Where Panasonic made the dent in the market, Sony blazed right into the spotlight with a release that made many Dslr models seem insignificant in comparison.

With ground-breaking releases including Sony Alpha Nex-C3 and Olympus Pen Mini, the shrinking sizes herald a new starting in the area of personal gadgetry. From touchscreen releases to models that promise lightning-fast continuous shooting as well as 3D video recording, the interchangeable lens compact models are becoming one of the most developed pieces of engineering yet.
