Panasonic to deliver a record-breaking 12,000 TVs to London Olympics

Panasonic to deliver a record-breaking 12,000 TVs to London Olympics

Posted on Jun 01, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: TVsPanasonic

Panasonic has just dished some of the statistics from its Olympics sponsorship this year, the highlight of which is a record-breaking number of TVs provided — over 12,000 — that will span a total display area of 1,730 square meters. That comfortably beats the Beijing Olympics of four years ago, when the relevant numbers were 10,000 TVs and 1,312 square meters, and includes 45 large-screen LED TVs, 47 103-inch plasmas, and two pairs of 152-inch and 145-inch plasma TVs. In Panasonic's words, "anything that has to do with the acquisition or transmission of image" during the London 2012 Olympics will be handled by the company. A small caveat to that statement is that the BBC will be recording an...

Panasonic spins off Sanyo DI Solutions, keeps the digital camera OEMs happy

Panasonic spins off Sanyo DI Solutions, keeps the digital camera OEMs happy

Posted on Apr 26, 2012 by MG3

Panasonic and Sanyo have only been life partners for about a year and a half now, but already the relationship has created a bundle of joy -- of a sort. Hot on the heels of some less-than-chipper financial news comes word that Panasonic is spinning off a portion of Sanyo. Sanyo DI Solutions is the name for the new creation, which will represent the company's efforts in producing OEM digital cameras -- cameras that get slapped with other manufacturers' labels before being sold as such. According to AV Watch, Panasonic's ownership had put a strain on Sanyo's fragile manufacturing partnerships, partnerships that can now bear beautiful, rebadged fruit. Sanyo DI Solutions will start with 10 milli...

Panasonic reveals GF5 compact system camera

Posted on Apr 06, 2012 by MG1

Panasonic has unveiled the latest compact system camera to sit in its beginner range, in the shape of the GF5.
The update to the GF3 features what Panasonic claims to be the world's fastest autofocus (0.09 seconds), and a completely new 12 million pixel sensor.
A fast Venus engine combines with the new sensor to produce image quality which Panasonic says is comparable to the G3.
Other new features include higher ISO capability, 4fps shooting and a newly designed user interface which includes on-screen help to guide new users.

Panasonic Eluga available in Japan on March 29th, Europe in April

Panasonic Eluga available in Japan on March 29th, Europe in April

Posted on Mar 22, 2012 by MG1

Panasonic's 4.3-inch water- and dust-resistant P-04D Android handset — also known as the Eluga — is coming to NTT Docomo on March 29th. The device is an experiment from Panasonic to see if it can appeal to international customers with a good-looking, stripped-down experience free from the bells and whistles typically found on phones for the Japanese market — say, like the Disney branding on a nearly identical handset.
While the European and Japanese versions of the phone are both launching with Gingerbread, Panasonic is claiming an update to Android 4.0 will be available by summer. The Eluga was originally expected to land in Europe in March, but Panasonic's European site now says that the s...

Panasonic Lumix GF5 accidentally leaked by Hong Kong spokesperson?

Panasonic Lumix GF5 accidentally leaked by Hong Kong spokesperson?

Posted on Mar 19, 2012 by MG1

Frequent social networkers will tell you that Instagram's usually plastered with food photos and self-portraits, so we were quite surprised to see a product leak over there. After some careful inspection, we're pretty certain that the above picture shows a legit Panasonic Lumix GF5, which from this angle bears much resemblance to the GF3 bar the grip. To add credibility here, the uploader is none other than Hong Kong celebrity Angelababy who happens to be the brand ambassador for Panny (oopsie!). Unsurprisingly, the twee model has already removed the offending picture from her account, but the direct image link still works.

Panasonic predicts record $10 billion annual loss

Panasonic predicts record $10 billion annual loss

Posted on Feb 07, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: Panasonic

Japanese electronics giant Panasonic has revised its annual net loss forecast to a record ¥780 billion ($10.2 billion) in response to a year that has seen the firm battle two massive natural disasters, as well as a slower economy and the strong yen eroding foreign earned revenue when repatriated to Japan.
The company was forced to halt operations in October at its three Thailand factories making home appliances and other products following the nation’s worst floods in 70 years. The magnitude 9.1 earthquake in Japan last March also disrupted the supply chain and impacted heavily on the firm.
In October, the world largest maker of plasma TV’s, had predicted loses of around ¥420 billion ($5.5 b...

Panasonic brings out ZS15, ZS20 compact superzooms

Panasonic brings out ZS15, ZS20 compact superzooms

Posted on Jan 31, 2012 by MG1

Panasonic used the lead-in to the CP+ show to introduce even more Lumix point-and-shoot cameras past what it showed earlier in the month. The 20X, 24-480mm ZS20 as the flagship hopes to cure some of the problems of compact superzooms with a new internal structure and nano surface-coated lens that hope to cut back on lens flares and ghosting. A new GPS system both handles the usual geotagging and can even load map data from a DVD like one would car navigation, filling in much more information for 82 countries, such as landmarks.

Filed in: TVsPanasonic

Move over, Microsoft Kinect. Panasonic said Tuesday that it will begin building in speech recognition into future televisions and other consumer electronics devices.
In addition, the CE giant also said that it would begin putting the Flixster application on Panasonic's Viera Connect devices including HDTVs and Blu-ray players, allowing users to tap into their UltraViolet content.
Panasonic said that it had licensed a large-vocabulary speech library from Novauris, which co-developed the NovaLite speech recognition software product for use with Panasonic, and to license to other TV and CE makers who wish to build in speech recognition.
