Panasonic (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Panasonic/) has the news day all to itself with its newfangled pair of Micro Four Thirds (http://www.engadget.com/tag/MicroFourThirds/) shooters, and in case you were wondering -- yeah, this is the exact same duo that we saw slip out (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/panasonic-leaks-own-g2-and-g10-micro-four-thirds-cams-in-macro-f/) on Friday. Up first is the Lumix DMC-G2, which looks an awful lot like the G1 (http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/panasonics-micro-four-thirds-lumix-dmc-g1-reviewed-only-knock/) it replaces and is touted as the first interchangable lens system camera with touch-control shooting. Granted, we haven't exactly warmed (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/) to the idea of using a touchpanel to fire off a shot, but hey, it is what it is. Other specs include a 12.1 megapixel Live MOS sensor, Venus Engine HD II technology, a 3-inch rear LCD and a 720p (AVCHD Lite) movie mode, though curiously enough a price and release date eludes us. Moving on, there's the DMC-G10, which is supposedly the "world's lightest" interchangeable lens camera with a viewfinder; this one packs the same 12.1 megapixel sensor and Venus Engine HD II as on the G2, but the 3-inch LCD lacks tilt / swivel / touch options. We're still waiting on pricing for this one as well, but now is as good a time as any to mention that both fully support those obnoxiously expensive SDXC (http://www.engadget.com/tag/SDXC/) cards. Huzzah!Panasonic gets official with Lumix DMC-G2 and DMC-G10 Micro Four Thirds cameras (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/panasonic-gets-official-with-lumix-dmc-g2-and-dmc-g10-micro-four/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Sun, 07 Mar 2010 10:06:00 EST.
