Panasonic is on the verge of releasing a retro Micro Four Thirds camera

23/05/2013 By Heather

Let’s travel back in time by almost a decade to the 2004 release of the Panasonic DMC-LC1. Though it had a purely digital brain, its body paid homage to the classic 35mm design of film cameras. It featured a modest 5MP sensor, a shutter speed dial on the top of the camera, as well as zoom, focus and aperture control on its high-performance Leica lens.

Two years later, the Panasonic DMC-L1, a digital SLR, was announced. It, too, featured that deliciously attractive retro body we know and love. It was also the first non-Olympus Four Thirds camera ever to be released.

Now, according to Mirrorless Rumors, Panasonic is on the verge of releasing a new Micro Four Thirds camera based on the beautiful retro design of the Panasonic DMC-L1-LC1 series.

The Internet is currently flooded with news and rumors about new mirrorless cameras set for release in 2013. Since work and family commitments have stopped me from writing a post about each specific model, I’ve decided to sum up the news that has been deemed official here, in one post.

The Panasonic GF6 is on its way

Update: The official images have now been released by Panasonic. You can see them on Mirrorless Rumors.

It looks like TechRadar made a small blunder by leaking its Panasonic GF6 hands-on review a tad before schedule. While the review has since been taken down, you can still find images of the new camera on Gizmodo and Imgur. From what we can see, it has an attractive and functional build, with a silver accent along the body and a useful mode dial on the top.
