Panasonic have gone official with their new Lumix DMC-GF1 interchangeable lens camera which is based on the Micro Four Thirds standard – eliminating the internal mirror box traditionally found in SLR and DSLR cameras, in favor of a drastically reduced body size. Tuesday, 28 July 2009
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 is a high-end, point-and-shoot digital camera announced today that sports a 12.1-megapixel resolution, HD recording capability as well as an impressive 18x optical zoom lens. Tuesday, 28 July 2009

Tokyo University students and Matsushita Electric (Panasonic) have created the world’s first light emitting device using nano silicon. The technology produces light that is 50% brighter than a fluorescent lamp and uses no mercury whatsoever, reducing the presence of the toxic substance in our lives. The prototype generates light by discharging electrons from a <5nm silicon device into xenon gas. The electrons excite the xenon molecules which creates ultraviolet light with a wavelength of around 200nm. Visible light is formed when the ultraviolet light collides with a phosphor element. Theoretically, it would consume less power than current fluorescent lighting, which places it well above light-emitting diode (LED) technology in the green stakes. The technology will be presented at the International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference which starts July 13 in Poland. Sources: Monday, 7 July 2008
Panasonic, the company formerly known as Matsushita in some parts, has announced its Lithium Vivi RX-10S regenerative electric bicycle which powers you around town, up and down hills or even to the countryside thanks to a range of 125km. This two-wheeler uses regenerated energy from braking force to charge a secondary Lithium-ion battery which extends the range of the bike. It only gets 90km without the system. In a new approach, the motor is mounted on the front wheel and the bike features a one-way clutch on the pedal shaft. There is a foolproof automatic mode that senses which level of assistive force is required. “High” would be selected when going uphill and “Off” when riding downhill, for example. There are also “Low” and “Medium” settings in between to accommodate a range of riding conditions. The bike ain’t too cheap. It has an expected price of $1,395 but Panasonic is still expecting to ship 3,000 units annually. I guess the money you’d save on fuel would pay off one of these puppies pretty quickly. It will be available in Japan on August 20.

Panasonic has today announced its new HDC-SD100 and HDC-HS100 camcorders which claim to be the world’s first AVCHD camcorders to utilize the new 3MOS system for higher image and video quality. The 3MOS system is said to have twice the sensitivity of Panasonic’s own 3CCD camcorders, delivering improved low-light recording abilities. The two models differ by storage mediums. The HDC-SD100 records to, naturally, an SD Memory Card. The HDC-HS100 is a hybrid capable of recording to either SD memory or an internal 60GB hard drive. These 1080i AVCHD camcorders have 12x optical zoom, HDMI-out, 5.1 surround mic and improved optical image stabilization. The camcorders are expected to be released in Japan on July 12 at will fetch ¥130,000 / $1,205 for the SD100 and ¥150,000 / $1,390 for the HS100. Sources: | SUBSCRIBE:  Stay up to date!
