Roughly a couple of months after Canon released a webcam update for its PC software, companies like Fujifilm and Panasonic are quickly following suit. This isn’t much of a shock as Canon is easily considered one of the biggest brands in DSLR photography. Much like Apple, the company can throw some effort at a new feature and the rest of the market really has no decision but to quickly adapt. The new Panasonic LUMIX webcam update allows makes it easier than ever for the company’s customers to add yet another feature to its high-end cameras. Continue reading to learn more.

When considering how easy it has become to stream almost any song from a wide majority of eras, it’s a bit of shock just how popular turntables have become. One could argue it is extremely inconvenient to rely on vinyl with so many digital options looming, but there’s certainly something nostalgic about rewinding to the older medium. Panasonic is celebrating its time spent in the hi-fi space by bringing a new Technics limited edition turntable to market. Only a small number of SL-1210GAE units will be made available, and they exist to commemorate the 55-years that the Technics brand has existed. Continue reading to learn more.

Back in January, Panasonic HomeHawk FLOOR was an uncertain product. The company launched an Indiegogo campaign which narrowly beat its goal, sliding past by a mere 4%. While the campaign wasn’t a runaway success, the Panasonic HomeHawk FLOOR has officially made it and is readily available to the masses.

Panasonic’s new floor lamp joins the fairly expansive HomeHawk lineup which covers both indoor and outdoor camera solutions. It is easily distinguishable from its competitors thanks to a hybrid design that discreetly wields a built-in camera.

This morning, Panasonic has unveiled a pair of upgrades to its already popular Lumix point-and-shoot cameras. Today’s announcement includes the launch of the Lumix DC-FZ1000 II and DC-ZS80. Both continue Panasonic’s legacy of excellent prosumer-grade cameras thanks to a refreshed physical design and a bevy of features. Head below for a quick look at each.

Not only is Panasonic’s new HomeHawk FLOOR a strange device, but the debut of said product is also a bit odd. I feel this way because the company is testing the waters through a new Indiegogo campaign. While it is not rare for large companies to test the reception of a new product on a crowdfunding site, it is certainly not a common practice.

The HomeHawk FLOOR’s greatest strength is also its biggest weakness. This is its ability to blend in without making folks feel like they are being watched. While this is a step forward in many ways, it is also a tad creepy.

This morning, Panasonic officially unveiled its new Lumix DC-TS7 camera, the first consumer-focused waterproof device of its kind to sport an electronic viewfinder. While GoPro has been offering integrated displays for sometime, this new option from Panasonic is decidedly more rugged. It’s built to withstand 6-foot drops and up to 220-pounds of pressure. That takes it to the next-level of action, with scuba divers and other extreme sports at the forefront of any design considerations here.
