Brand of digital cameras made by Panasonic

the brand of digital cameras

Lumix is Panasonic's brand of digital cameras, ranging from pocket point and shoot models to digital SLRs. Compact digital cameras DMC LC5 and DMC F7 were the first products of the Lumix series, released in 2001. Most Lumix cameras use differing releases of the Panasonic Venus Engine for digital image processing; the original version (2002) was followed by II (2004), Plus (2005), III (2006), IV (2008), HD, V (2009) and VI, HD II, FHD (2010). Some Lumix models are branded with Leica lenses (e. g. Nocticron or Elmarit lenses), although Leica does not manufacture the lenses. Others are rebranded as Leica cameras with different cosmetic stylings. Despite shifting focus to full frame cameras, Panasonic continues to release and support micro four thirds (MFT) cameras. As of 2023, the Lumix G9II is the flagship MFT camera of the range.

Some cameras are available in a choice of color, indicated by a suffix letter: K is black, S silver, A blue, R red, W white. Most lower priced models have small sensors of about 10.2 mm / 1/2.5". More expensive ones often have sensors of about twice the area, 14.1 mm to 15.4 mm / 1/1.65" to 1/1.8". dSLRs and Micro Four Thirds system cameras have much larger sensors. Larger sensors produce a better image signal to noise ratio and better dynamic range. The GH series of Micro Four Thirds cameras, and the LX100, have a unique "multi aspect" sensor, that is larger than the lens image circle. This allows three different aspect ratios, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9, to be used natively. As a result, the image diagonal remains the same in all three aspect ratios and provides full coverage of the sensor, and a larger field of view with higher resolution than one would get by simply cropping the 4:3 aspect to the narrower ratios.

DMC FX: ultra compact high end, relatively typical cameras. Unlike most of the other Lumix lines, the FX series tends to have a more stylish look (as opposed to the generic silver or black), targeted at social photography. The FX30 was announced as the world's slimmest camera with a 28 mm equivalent wide angle lens. The FX500 is the first Panasonic to feature a touch screen interface. DMC FZx (excluding DMC FZx0 models): compact ultra zoom higher end cameras. These cameras are described as compact but are relatively large, have extensive controls (although models earlier than the FZ7 do not have manual focus), and long zoom ranges, typically 12x with extending zoom lens. DMC FZxx: bridge digital cameras, resemble digital SLRs in many ways, but have a non interchangeable, non extending zoom lens. The FZ70/72 bridge camera is as large and heavy as a medium sized DSLR, has a 1/2.3" sensor, a very wide zoom range (20 1200mm, 60x) and extensive manual controls, including fully manual focus, and zoom rings on the lens. The FZ200 has a 25–600 mm lens (35 mm equivalent) superzoom with f/2.8 light sensitivity through the whole range and shoots 12 MP stills and full HD video with 24/30/50/60 fps and 120 or 200 fps for slow motion. FZ1000 uses a 1" sensor (as does the Sony RX10). Compared to the RX10, the FZ1000 can shoot 4K video, is priced considerably lower and has double the optical zoom, but no built in ND Filter and no fixed aperture. DMC/DC G: Micro Four Thirds system line, advertised as a "reinvented DSLR" without mirror. DMC G: SLR style mirrorles cameras, from the mid range to the high end category. G1 G9, G80/85, G90/95: standard mirrorless line. G100/110: simplified SLR style mirrorless camera, intended mainly for vloggers. G9: Panasonic's highest end photography orientated Micro Four Thirds camera. DMC GH: video orientated high end SLR style mirrorless line. DMC GF: lower end rangefinder style mirrorless cameras without a viewfinder or a hot shoe. DMC GX: rangefinder style mirrorless cameras in the mid and lower range. GX1: rangefinder style mirrorless camera without a viewfinder, but with a hot shoe. GX7 9: rangefinder style mirrorless camera with an electronic viewfinder and similar capabilities to the DMC G line. GX80/85/7 Mark II: lower end version of the GX8, but maintaining the electronic viewfinder and the hot shoe. GX800/850/GF9: the continuation of the GF series, but named as GX800 in Europe and GX850 in North America. DC S: full frame mirrorless line using the L mount. S1: high end full frame mirrorless camera with contrast detection autofocus. S1R: ultra high resolution version of the S1 series. S1H: video orientated version of the S1 series. S5: mid range full frame mirrorless camera with contrast detection autofocus. S5II / S5IIX: successor to the S5 with phase detect autofocus, real time LUTs applied in camera, and 3:2 aspect ratio open gate recording mode in 6k. DMC L: DSLR line. It uses the Four Thirds system lens mount and, along with the Olympus E 330, was one of the first DSLRs capable of displaying a live image view on the LCD screen. DMC LS: cheapest line, budget plastic compact cameras powered by two AA batteries. DMC LX: compact high end camera line, with full manual exposure and focus controls (with joystick control rather than focus ring), and RAW recording, unusual in compact cameras. DMC LZ: budget, but more advanced and with more user control than many other digital compact cameras. The most notable feature is a 6x (37–222 mm) optical zoom range. DMC SZ: mid level compact superzoom cameras. SZ series stands for "style zoom". Introduced in January 2012, these cameras use the 25 mm ultra wide angle LEICA DC VARIO ELMAR lens, have a 10x optical zoom, and shoot high definition video. Models include the SZ1, SZ5, SZ7 and SZ9. DMC TS / DMC FT: waterproof, shockproof and dustproof point and shoot cameras. DMC TZ: (Travel Zoom) compact, point and shoot zoom cameras with image stabilization. The TZ1 uses folded optics, with a prism. TZ1's successors use a traditional design without folded optics, hence the barrel extends further out during operation. The TZ series stands out against other compact digital cameras by achieving up to 30x optical zoom with a 24 mm wide angle lens (equivalent to 35 mm camera) in a small, compact body. DMC ZS: alternative names for certain DMC TZ models, used for marketing in North America.

DMC FS: ultra compact mid range, relatively typical cameras. The FS range was launched in January 2008. DMC LC: medium compact size, mid range, but also included high end models. DMC GM: marketed as the smallest interchangeable lens camera.
