Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 Reviewed
CNET have reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1, 7.5-megapixel digital camera. 'Physical design is probably the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1's worst attribute. As they admitted at the Photo Marketing Association trade show last February, the body shares much of the internal design with Olympus's Evolt E-330, including its side-swinging Porro Mirror view finder, which provides a through-the-lens view without the prism that causes most SLRs to have a hump in the middle of the top of the body. The cameras also share the same 7.5-megapixel Live MOS sensor, which lets them offer a live view from the sensor on the camera's LCD screen, so you can frame your shots as you would on a compact camera. Unlike the Evolt, which has a second CCD sensor for a second live view mode, the Panasonic has only one sensor and one live view mode.'
