Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 Doesn't Shoot
Ah, shucks—it looks like Panasonic's funky new non-DSLR DMC-G1 camera actually doesn't shoot HD video after all. Those photos are of a mock-up of a future version of the cam, possibly due next year sometime. We know this 'cause DPReview got their mitts on a pre-production G1—

On Friday, we introduced you to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, a tiny interchangeable-lens camera that's not a DSLR, but rather built on the new Micro Four Thirds standard. Now it looks like the G1 will shoot HD video, even though last week's US press releases were mum on the subject. Update: Although Panasonic Japan showed off these photos, the company's US office tells us that the G1 "will not have any video capabilities," but that future models would include HD recording. My advice? Wait for the future models.

At its unveiling, it's the world's smallest and lightest camera that takes interchangeable lenses. Here are the details on this incredibly cute not-quite-pro, not-quite-'sumer camera.

Panasonic Lumix Camera Summer Sequels: FZ28 18x Zoomer, 14.7-Megapixel FX150 and Ultra-wide Angle FX37
Panasonic has a nice set of digital camera summer sequels to last year's lineup. Here's the rundown, with full releases below:•Panasonic's FZ28 updates its original 18x super-zoomer FZ18 with a higher res, and some new software features, autofocus tracking and more robust face detection, plus it shoots HD video, like every new Panasonic camera. Out in Aug. for $399.
•The ultracompact FX150 bulldozes the FX100 with a ridiculous 14.7-megapixel resolution (hopefully not with meteor-size noise, but probably), RAW recording, HD video shooting, and a 28mm wide-angle lens. Available Aug. for $399.
•Finally, the FX37's raison d'etre is its 25mm ultra wide-angle 5x zoom lens. It's tiny, has a 10MP resolution and also shoots 720p HD video. It's available in Sept. for $350. More »

Panasonic Lumix LX3 High-End Point-and-Shoot Dumps Pixels to Stay Sensitive
Panasonic's new high-end LX3 point-and-shoot totally bows out of the megapixel war, keeping the same 10-megapixel resolution as its LX2 predecessor for a 40 percent bump in sensitivity and 35 percent greater saturation, plus it can shoot up to 3200 ISO in full res, or 6400 at a reduced one. As a semi-pro point-and-shoot, it has an F2.0 2.5x 24mm ultra-wide angle lens, full manual controls and RAW output, though it still has more consumer-y stuff like Intelligent Scene Selector and HD video recording. Out in August for $499. More »

Panasonic Picks Picasa for Wi-Fi Lumix TZ50
As you can see in the clip above, Panasonic's Wi-Fi enabled Lumix TZ50 connects to most wireless networks—including T-Mobile Hotspots—and uploads your pictures directly to a Picasa account. It works in reverse also, photos placed online are browsable by the camera. When we tried it out, a picture took about 25 seconds to upload, which is a bit slow but a small price to pay to never worry about wires. The TZ50 will sell for $450 starting in May. [Panasonic]

Fingers-On Panasonic's Lumix FX500 Touchscreen Digital Camera
I just got my greasy hands on the FX500, Panasonic's touchscreen point-and-shoot. As you see in the video, by pointing to a certain object in the frame, the camera stays focused on it even if either the camera or the object goes in motion. Also, manual options could be changed using a slider on the screen, which I found cool. If you don't always like using a touchscreen, you're in luck; there is also a joystick to control the action. The camera is $400 and will be on sale in mid-May. [Panasonic]
