Panasonic has today announced the Lumix DMC-LC43 and DMC-LC33 digital cameras. These two cameras are based around the same camera body with a Leica branded three times optical zoom lens, the DMC-LC43 has a four megapixel CCD, the DMC-LC33 has a three megapixel CCD. One thing that is interesting about the DMC-LC43 is that it uses a 1/2.5" type 4.23 million pixel sensor, to my knowledge this is the smallest four megapixel CCD so far used in a digital camera.
