The fast F2.0 LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens boasts excellent image quality with outstanding quality and performance with 7.1x high optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 28-200mm), making this camera even more versatile. The 1/1.7-inch large High Sensitivity MOS Sensor and the high performance Venus Engine achieves clear image recording even at high sensitivity setting.

Through Wi-Fi® connectivity with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, the LUMIX LF1 features “Touch & Share” feature in which users can connect the camera to their smartphone/tablet anywhere at just a touch to share a image easily right on the spot. It is also possible to use a smartphone/tablet as a multi-purpose remote shutter with a monitor. With the new Instant Transfer function, photos are automatically sent to the smartphone/tablet right after shooting. On the other hand, both photo and video can be archived to the registered digital equipment such as a personal computer automatically via a wireless access point (router) at home.

For step-up users who pursue higher expressive performance, the LUMIX LF1 comes equipped with a variety of manual functionalities. With the newly integrated Control Ring and Composition Guide, one can experience advanced photography with ease. A variety of special effects adding more fun to shooting experience are also integrated in the LUMIX LF1–Creative Panorama, Creative Control and Creative Retouch featuring a total of 15 attractive filter effects*.

I was wondering why there was no discussion on this new release.

Waiting for review of this.
