Sony and Panasonic reportedly calls off OLED TV collaboration

Panasonic launches tiniest Micro Four Thirds camera to date

At around 98.5 x 54.9 x 30.4mm and smaller than the Sony RX100, the Panasonic Lumix GM1 is considered the smallest Micro Four Thirds camera to date. Tiny doesn’t mean feature-less though. The Lumix GM1 is equipped with a 16-megapixel sensor, 3-inch touchscreen, pop-up flash, built-in Wi-Fi, and a retro-inspired look similar to the Lumix GX7.

Panasonic created new kit lens for the compact shooter: a collapsible 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.  The company also plans to release a Leica Summilux-branded 15mm f/1.7 lens. The GM1 is priced at US$749.99 but no word on its release date at the moment.

CES 2013: Panasonic's 20-inch tablet has 4K resolution and a pen

Talk about ambitious design. Panasonic showed off a 20-inch tablet at CES 2013 in Las Vegas today that features four times the resolution of a 1080p HDTV, accepts pen input from a stylus and runs Windows 8 Professional. Morea concept than an actual product, the tablet does show that 4K or Ultra HD technology can shrink (from th 60"-80" HDTVs around) and can easily take multi-touch input as well as pen input. The 20-inch LCD panel delivers "4k" resolution (3840 x 2560, 9.83 million pixels), more than twice the horizontal and vertical resolutions of Full HD (1920 x 1080) and has a density of 230 pixels per inch. How long before we see 4K capable 7 and 10-inch tablets?

SlideShow: Canon's EOS M mirrorless compact camera leaked

It seems that Canon has finally decided to launch a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera line with this EOS M camera that has been leaked. Seems rather compact and more similar to a point-and shoot with basic controls  than some of the more complicated models. The design is very minimalist and seems to be touchscreen driven with quick controls for stills or video.

The beauty of a Canon mirrorless system is that it will likely have access to all the great lenses. If this new camera has an APS-C sized sensor and sells at a reasonable price with good lens choices, it will surely shake up the mirrorless camera market.
