With the summer in full swing, you might be looking for a handy point-and-shoot digital camera to take some proper pictures. Sure you could always take great shots and lots of videos using your camera phone, but it’s still not a real camera, is it?

Panasonic seems to have a couple of compact cameras for you, part of the LX5 line, but they’re not quite official yet. That doesn’t mean we don’t have specs and features for you. In fact we definitely do as two cameras of the new Lumix LX 5 line, the DMC-LX5K and the DMC-LX5W have been leaked in all its glory.

They are both point-and-shoot cameras and here’s what you can expect from them:

• 10.1 megapixel F2.0 Leica DC Summicron Lens (10 elements in 9 groups)
• 3.8x optical zoom
• 4x digital zoom
• Focal length: f=5.1-19.2mm (24-90mm in 35mm equiv.)
• (25-95mm in 35mm equiv. in movie recording)
• Focus: Normal / Macro Quick AF On/Off (On in Intelligent Auto), Continuous AF On/Off
• AF/MF Switchable, Manual Focus (Jog Dial), One Shot AF, AF Area Select, AF Tracking

If you happen to be a hardcore photographer interested in all the details of these two new Lumix LX5 cameras then you can check this link for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5K and this one for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5W. The two cameras are virtually similar, and the only difference we can spot at this time is the color. We have no idea how much these babies will cost but we know they’re expected to hit on July 21. Only a few more days to go until that happens, so stick around for more details, folks!
