A Panasonic Lumix LX7 replacement is rumored to be announced on July 16. The new camera might be weathersealed, the rumor mill says.

The updated Panasonic Lumix LX8 specs list will make this shooter even more desirable. A source is now claiming that the device might be weathersealed, allowing photographers to capture photos and videos in harsh weather conditions.

It appears that there are still discussions whether the LX8 will be weathersealed or not because the company is fearing that the system will not be good enough. This would mean that owners will have to service their camera often, so Panasonic wants to be certain that the weathersealing will withstand the users’ endurance tests.

This new compact camera will feature a built-in electronic viewfinder. It has been mentioned by multiple sources and now we have managed to find out its resolution. The new source says that the Panasonic LX8’s viewfinder will have a 1.44-million-dot resolution.

The image sensor will be a 1-inch-type model that may or may not be identical to the one of the Panasonic FZ1000 bridge camera. What appears to be certain regarding its features consists of a built-in 5-axis image stabilization technology.

The system will correct camera shakes during video recording as well as when capturing photos. Nevertheless, these are unconfirmed reports therefore we will have to wait until a more reliable source verifies their accuracy.
