PanasonicPanasonic offers one D-SLR, the Lumix DMC-L1, which has the classic look and feel of a rangefinder film camera, but is actually a Four Thirds System D-SLR that shares some technology with the Olympus EVOLT E-330 and Leica Digilux 3, including the 7.5-megapixel LiveMOS image sensor and mirror box and the Supersonic Wave Filter that keeps dust off the sensor. The DMC-L1 utilizes Panasonic’s own Venus Engine III image processor, which was designed especially for the LiveMOS sensor. The DMC-L1 shoots in three aspect ratios, uses SD cards (including SDHC cards) and features simple, intuitive operation. System Accessories: The
DMC-L1 is sold with a Leica D Vario-Elmarit 14-50mm ƒ/2.8-3.5 zoom that
incorporates a MEGA O.I.S. system. But all Four Thirds System lenses
can be used with the camera. Other accessories include the FL-360 and
FL-500 flash units, a wired remote control, camera bags and filters. Pentax The middle-of-the-line K100D sells for under $600 and provides excellent performance and a host of features, including effective in-camera Shake Reduction, 11-point AF (with nine cross-type sensors), 16-segment metering, ISOs from 200 to 3200, a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, many picture and scene modes, and more. The K110D is essentially the same camera but without the Shake Reduction function and a $100 lower price.
