Got an e-mail today from Nauticam regarding the new Panasonic GX1 camera which is being released in Nov/Dec this year. It seems Nauticam will release a housing for the GX1:
"Actually we just decided to housing the camera, but as the camera will be available after new year, the soonest shipment we are looking at is possibly after Feb. 2012. "
Could be an interesting choice for anyone wanting a compact solution with good control. From what I understand the GX1 will use the same sensor as G3, which produces IQ very close/the same as GH2. For video GH2 will still be hard to beat though. Some specifications from dpreview:
16MP Micro Four Thirds sensor
ISO 160-12,800
Orientation sensor (providing information with non-OIS lenses)
3.0", 460k dot LCD
Full AVCHD 1080/60i video (from 30fps sensor output)
Continuous shooting up to 20fps (at reduced resolution)
Electronic level gauge
Four available Fn buttons (two onscreen)
Differences between the GX1 and the GF1
Looking forward to see what this little camera can do!
