Panasonic has been in the digital camera arena for a while now and there are a few, very interesting cameras. One of them was the Lumix DMC-G2, which was a micro four-third camera with a 12.1 MP sensor. If rumors are true, the DMC-G3 is going to be launched really soon. 43 Rumours believes that the camera might be launched as early as tomorrow.

G2 on its way out, G3 coming soon

The DMC-G3 might be 25 per cent smaller than the older DMC-G2 and should come built with a 15.8 MP sensor. The sensor on the camera should allow it to shoot videos in full HD – 1920x1080, which should be a good addition. ISO sensitivity range will be extended to ISO 6400 and burst mode shooting performance will be around 4 frames per second. It’ll come with a 3-inch foldable screen as well. 43 Rumors claims that the camera will use touch sensitive buttons in place of traditional dials and buttons. The DMC-G3 should launch with a pricing of $649.
