Panasonic is proud to announce the launch in the Middle East of the LUMIX LX100 II with a large, 4/3-inch High Sensitivity MOS Sensor for the 7th generation model of Panasonic’s world-renowned LX high-end compact camera series.

The LUMIX LX100 II boasts a total 21.77-megapixel sensor achieving an effective 17.0 megapixels in 4:3 aspect ratio. This new high-resolution MOS Sensor maintains an excellent S/N ratio, allowing the device to capture even the finest details of the subject.  Likewise, the high pixel count ensures sufficient image resolution for photos even in 3:2 and 16:9 aspect ratios. Together with Panasonic's latest Venus Engine image processor, it achieves superb image quality with natural, true-to-life description.

The Panasonic LX100 II is built with a Leica DC Vario-Summilux lens, offering a 24 – 75mm (35mm equivalent) focal length and fast aperture of f/1.7 – f/2.8 on a nine-blade aperture, which can focus as close as 3cm (1.2 inches) at wide angle.  The lens also features Power O.I.S. image stabilization.  

“The LUMIX LX100 II is a perfect second camera for professional photographers as well as photography hobbyists, with its sophisticated technology that allows you to express your creativity.  It has one of the largest sensors – 4/3 – you can get on a compact camera.  Panasonic also retained its well-loved and standout features, its super bright Leica lens in a stylish, neo-classical camera design,” commented Hitesh Ojha, Deputy General Manager – Audio Video Department, PMMAF.
