Panasonic announces a new hybrid camera, the LUMIX S1IIE. Moving forward with their lineup rehaul, Panasonic addresses the 24-megapixel segment with the S1II and S1IIE duo, shortly after announcing the impressive S1RII, aiming at an emerging hybrid standard.

It will also affect burst shooting, which will “only” go as far as 30 fps, compared to the S1II’s 70 fps. The older sensor technology will probably also affect read speed, but we will have to take the...
