The new Panasonic LX100 II<\/strong> was announced a couple of months ago and should start shipping this week.\u00a0 This camera is the successor of the LX100 which was a very popular underwater camera with both Ikelite and Nauticam<\/a> housings.<\/p>\n

What have Panasonic \"Panasonic<\/a>improved ?<\/h3>\n

First and foremost a bigger sensor.\u00a0 This camera has a micro 4\/3rds mirror-less sensor but does not use the entire surface of the sensor but generates 17MP from the 20MP sensor.\u00a0 We still believe this camera will have a significantly better image quality and low light capabilities than its predecessor.<\/p>\n

The LCD has been improved and is now higher resolution (1240K dots) and the screen is now a touch screen (which is often problematic for underwater housings to use).<\/p>\n

What stayed the same?<\/h3>\n

The LX100 II has the same lens as the previous model and that is an excellent 24-75 mm F1.7-2.8 Zoom Lens with optical stabilization.\u00a0 The camera shoots the same 4K high quality video and also shoots the same 11fps continuous shots.<\/p>\n

The 2 cameras are also very similar in dimensions but are not likely to fit into the same housing since the position of the buttons and dials have changed slightly.<\/p>\n

We expect at least Ikelite and Nauticam<\/a> to announce a housing for this camera.\u00a0 When comparing it to the RX100 V or VI, we expect slightly better image quality, closer focusing and perhaps better quality video. \"Compact<\/a> \"Panasonic<\/a> \"Panasonic<\/a><\/p>\n
