Panasonic Lumix LX5, mejoras justitas

Julio 17, 2010 | Category: general

A pesar de que todos los rumores lo daban por seguro, la nueva Panasonic Lumix LX5 no entrará en el club de los micro cuatro tercios (M4/3). La LX5 se queda en una LX3 a la que se han aplicado las mejoras que ya indicaron los gurus de esto de la fotografía hace dos años y que se resume en:

  • un objetivo con una focal algo más tele. Ahora alcanza los 90 mm equiv manteniendo el 24mm y lo que es mejor el f/2,0-3,3
  • un sensor con mayor rando dinámico y mejor respuesta al ruido (6.400 y 12.800)
  • así de refilíon tambien han añadido un nuevo procesadro de imagen Venus FHD
  • y formato AVCHD lite para las grabaciones de vídeo con botón dedicado

Nuestras primeras impresiones confirman… una mejora evidente en la calidad de las imágenes, si bien las mejoras tal vez no sean suficientes para jubilar mi querida LX3. Seguimos echando de menos un modo de creacion de panoramicas. Las especificaciones técnicas son:
