Let’s travel back in time by almost a decade to the 2004 release of the Panasonic DMC-LC1. Though it had a purely digital brain, its body paid homage to the classic 35mm design of film cameras. It featured a modest 5MP sensor, a shutter speed dial on the top of the camera, as well as zoom, focus and aperture control on its high-performance Leica lens.
Two years later, the Panasonic DMC-L1, a digital SLR, was announced. It, too, featured that deliciously attractive retro body we know and love. It was also the first non-Olympus Four Thirds camera ever to be released.
Now, according to Mirrorless Rumors, Panasonic is on the verge of releasing a new Micro Four Thirds camera based on the beautiful retro design of the Panasonic DMC-L1-LC1 series.
