the dream came true. only bad things are: 4K 26mm widest, no 5axis for fullhd, no mic port, no slow motion no timelapse

The lx line has very good manual video control, I would expect this to continue with the lx100. I do hope Panasonic give this a decent bit rate!

beautiful...but no 120p ?

More specs to d universe / sold to the dark force

• EVF - 0.7x (35mm equiv.) magnification / near AdobeRGB / eye-detection
• AF - 49 area DFD Contrast AF
• Metering - 1,728 zones
• UHD - 100 mb/sec
• Manual Focus Assist / Focus peaking
• 4K photo priority mode (30fps)
• 22 filters

Opt Stab indicates Power OIs; Regarding EVF

This is a beauty of a finder, and quite similar to that in the Panasonic GX7. It sports a high-definition 1,280 x 720 pixel array, and uses a field-sequential design. In plain English, that means every single pixel provides all three colors -- but only one color at any given time. By cycling through the colors repeatedly, your eye gets the impression of a sharp, full-color image. Lining the right side of the viewfinder is a proximity sensor used to enable or disable the viewfinder and LCD automatically as you raise the camera to your eye, or vice versa.

300 shots battery :( and shitty tripod mount though

 
@fosterchen {Vitaliy mode on} simple, buy 2 and start 1 when the other stops {Vitaliy mode off}

Adorama had more detailed specs than B&H. I'm sure the limitation is due to the heat issue.

is this camera a gopro 3 drone killer?

4k limited to 15 mins. The 30 mins limit for 1080p could be the EU limit (the Panasonic USA site still don't have the LX100).

No touchscreen, too.

The Panasonic preview video states that Depth From Defocus is limited to the still image mode - but DFD would be most relevant for videos, to achieve some decent continous autofocus!

Does the GH4 suffer from the same limitation?

From @Sph1nxster 's (pana official uk) link, mic is stereo and

Panasonic's 4k sample video allows some conclusions:

• Excellent absence of aliasing artefacts (see window shades at time 00m:34s)

• Strong rolling shutter effect visible on moving public transport at 01m:56s, minor rolling shutter effect visible in bicycle at 02m:01s

• Overall image quality looks very good, but all the stuff was shot in bright daylight, so no challenge here, and low-light abilities cannot be seen.

• No "difficult to focus" scenes included in this sample, and also no scene that would have been difficult to shoot steady.

• Extreme compression artifacts visible in moving water at 02m:19s - but that is probably from the insane youtube typical compression to ridiculously low bitrates, and hopefully not from the camera. If you pixel peep the upper left corner at 02m:23s you'll see awful pixel steps at first, which suddenly disappear after a few seconds, probably due to the encoder spending some more bits at this time.

I'm confused about what frame rates are actually supported. It seems that once again, regionally sold models differ (for no good reason). Some previews state that 2160p30 and 2160p24 are supported in the "NTSC region", while "PAL regions" are inconsistently said to either support both 2160p25 and 2160p24 or only 2160p25. Obviously, I would not buy a camera crippled to 25p, only.

dpReview says "no timelapse". Yet (at least the German) press release from Panasonic mentions a "Miniatur-Effekt" that would result in a 1 minute video from 10 minutes of recording. Sounds like a timelapse to me...
