New Small Panasonic LCD TV is Really a Digital Photoframe, CD Playing iPod Dock

by Jay Garrett on November 12, 2009

panasonic-mw10First picture I saw of this little Panasonic lead me to believe that it was a neat portable LCD Television.

Gah – how wrong and foolish do I feel now?

What it is, in fact, is Panasonic’s new MW-10 “multimedia audio system photo frame”.

Not only will it show pictures held on either its 4GB of internal memory or stuff held on SD cards shoved in the units slot it sports an FM tuner and a built-in CD player to complement the iPod dock.

I’m a little dubious regarding the “audiophile-quality sound” that its supposed to pack but hey – until I hear it then we have to take the word of the press-release I guess.

It was released in Japan last month and is set to hit the states next month for an asking price of $299.95

Panasonic GF1 – Retro Inspired Micro Four-Thirds Leaked

by Jay Garrett on August 7, 2009

Panasonic GF1I loved the Panasonic G1 and it proved itself to be idiot proof as I almost won a competition with it when I had one to review.

Now it seems that Panasonic has checked out the Olympus E-P1 and thought retro is where it’s at.

Say hello to the Panasonic GF1.

So, what’s the difference ‘tween the G1 and GH1 compared with GF1?

Well, remember that they had modern little DSLR-type bodies? The Panasonic GF1 is much squarer and is more like the nostalgically styled Panasonic LX3 in the looks department.

The new old-looking Panasonic GF1 get’s a 12.1 megapixel sensor, a 3 inch screen and AVCHD Lite 720p video.

You also get a pop-up flash and a hot shoe for attaching accessories – Panasonic also followed Olympus by dropping the viewfinder.

Lens-wise, in the leaked pics there’s a compact 20mm F1.7 and a Leica 45mm F2.8.

As you’d expect from leaked news – no other firm details out there just yet.

I have a soft spot for Panasonic cameras and now they’ve announced that it is updating its FZ28 model with a new version packing an 18x optical super zoom.
The new snapper was announced on Monday and is named the DMC-FZ35 in the US and the DMC-FZ38 in the UK – slightly confusing for the likes [...]

This odd Dali-esque gel remote comes courtesy of Panasonic’s concept dept.
The control lays limp when not in use, pulsating with a soft light.
But when it detects a warm hand coming to grip it and put it to use it stiffens – ready for action!
The remote is made from soft, flesh-like gel and appears cold [...]

If you have hardwood floors and love robots to do the tedious task of wiping up after you then the Fukitorimushia floor-cleaning robot should be on top of your wishlist.
It inches along wriggling your floor clean like a cleaning compulsive caterpillar.
The Fukitorimushi (“wipe-up bug”) has been thought-up by Panasonic and is wrapped-up in a sticky nanocloth sleeve which [...]

Panasonic G1 – So Simple To Use I Almost Won A Competition!

November 13, 2008 Click to read more →

You may have read my review about the Panasonic G1 a week or so ago.
I was impressed and found it pretty easy to use – this comes from someone who basically points and shoots.
The people that Panasonic allowed to run rampant with the pre-production models in order to review and feedback to the company were [...]

Panasonic G1 Hands-on – HD Version To Come

October 30, 2008 Click to read more →

Cast your minds back to September 12th where I wrote about the new Panasonic Lumix G1.
Well, I’ve spent a week with the clever four-thirds camera and have been pleasantly surprised.
I’m not a photographer; never claimed to be, and probably never will be classed as such – but I do enjoy taking snaps.
So, for me, a [...]

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 – Best of Both Worlds?

September 12, 2008 Click to read more →

What’s not a full DSLR but not a standard point ‘n’ shoot camera?
Not sure?
Check out Panasonic’s first Micro ‘Four Thirds-standard camera’, the Lumix DMC-G1.
It has the bragging rights to being the world’s smallest and lightest camera that takes interchangeable lenses.
The 12.1-megapixel camera uses a format that ditches the internal mirror and prism while maintaining a DSLR-sized sensor.  
It [...]

Panasonic DMC-TZ5 – No More Rubbish Snaps?

April 9, 2008 Click to read more →

Fresh from the Panasonic Imaging Event I have news about some new Lumix cameras that you might be interested in.
First off I had a grope around with the new FX500. It’s a good looking machine and the main draw for me was its touch screen LCD viewer. It actually made me want to explore what [...]

Panasonic Lifewall

January 7, 2008 Click to read more →

There has been rumours of a 150″ Plasma being produced by Panasonic.
What has been spotted was possibly the most well guarded thing the sleuths from Engadget saw.
They couldn’t manage a good gawp at the front but did get round the back of the substantial structure.  At first it was thought that they had also discovered what could have been [...]
