Just days before its reported official unveiling on November 8th, Panasonic accidentally (or intentionally) leaked the first promotional video for the Lumix GX1 on their website, which has since been removed. However, thanks to the quick actions of some, the video has now found its way to YouTube and can be viewed below:

Confirmed specifications found in the video:

• 16MP live CMOS sensor
• Venus engine
• High precision contrast AF
• Touch to focus and shoot
• 0.09 seconds (with X-lenses) “Ultra high-speed light speed AF”
• Built-in flash
• Customizable function buttons
• Tilt-shift live view finder (1,440,000 dots, 100% coverage)
• Silver and Black body
• 3 inch touchscreen LCD

Rumor: Panasonic to release consumer 3D camcorder next week

Some unnamed sources have revealed that Panasonic will be unveiling a new 3D camcorder next week — one intended for consumers, unlike its semi-pro AG-3DA1, which we saw at CES. We’ve seen other 3D cameras out there but not a lot of excitement yet, likely because the means to view the content are still expensive and inconvenient. The new Panasonic model is reported to be the same size as a normal camcorder and (this is my guess) will probably cost around a thou. If you consider that a normal consumer Panasonic camcorder costs around $500-700, and then add on the extra lens and stuff, plus the early adopter fee… a thou sounds right to me. It could be less, though. We’ll find out next week.
