I'd just like to support my edits by stating I have owned one of these cameras since new, and it is definitely not named "I" on the camera or in any of it's documentation.--Johnbear (talk) 16:33, 1 June 2016 (CDT)

Does it not say Digilux 1 on the base of the camera? I have digital manuals that call it the Digilux 1.--Tkmedia (talk) 18:45, 1 June 2016 (CDT)

OMG! so it does! I stand corrected! --Johnbear (talk) 02:47, 2 June 2016 (CDT)

You mention the DMC-L40 having the same lens. I cannot seem to find any info on that model, is there a equivalent model?--Tkmedia (talk) 23:53, 2 June 2016 (CDT)

The closest I've got to finding any information about this camera is a German camera forum, where there is a post about buying one secondhand, and the dates of the posting suggest the camera is from 2001/2. http://szene.digitalkamera.de/forums/t/210635.aspx This provides a link to a review, which gives details of the lens. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://szene.digitalkamera.de/forums/t/210635.aspx&prev=search --Johnbear (talk) 03:04, 3 June 2016 (CDT)

So is the L40 the same as the LC40? I just dont have any references to the L40 model name, that you say is the same lens as the Digilux 1.--Tkmedia (talk) 23:21, 3 June 2016 (CDT)


I would guess that L40 is an error and the LC40 is the correct name. I can't find an L40 either. Logic can often prove inappropriate, but Panasonic cameras usually had two letter names. The lens on an LC40 is ... LEICA DC VARIO-Summicron 7-21mm f / 2-2.5 ASPH (Equivalent to a 33 - 100mm zoom on a 35mm camera).
