The ultra-cool Panasonic DMC-G1 is now shipping directly from the Panasonic store at an expected $800.  While it may not be that other G1 you and I have been lusting about, this ain’t small news on its own. Go ahead and pick one up if you want in on the red styling and portable design. [Panasonic]

Lost in the HD hysteria is the fact that projectors can often be the best way to get that theatre feel right in the comfort of your own living room.  The new Panasonic PT-AE2000U is a full HD-capable projector which means it can output images at 1080P with a 16000:1 contrast ratio.  Also, in spite of its size, it’s whisper quiet. With a remote controlled zoom and the capability of producing a 200 inch image, all you need is the popcorn and a sticky floor to give you the full movie going experience.  [$3499 at Panasonic]

Earlier today, Panasonic revealed the world’s smallest digital camera with an interchangeable lens.  The Panasonic Lumix G1 is a 12.1MP digital camera with the ability to swap lenses like the big boys.  If you’ve outgrown your point-and-click but don’t have the scratch for a high-end Nikon, this is a pretty nice start for the pro-sumer in you.  The Lumix G1 is available in three colors, blue, black and red as shown above.  Pricing details haven’t yet hit the street, but we’ll be sure to update you when they drop.

If you’ve outgrown your point-and-click camera and want to finally make that leap to a high quality SLR, you won’t want to overlook this one.  While we know you’ve likely been lusting over Nikons and other DSLRS, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 Digital SLR Camera has one huge selling point…  This 10.1 MP DSLR is fronted with a lens by one of the most reknown lens makers in the business, Leica Camera.  With the Lumix DMC-L10, Panasonic has considered what any camera buyer should– tha a high megapixel count is useless without a high quality lens.  The rest of the features, from a 2.5″ screen to on-board editing functions are nothing more than a bonus.  Whether or not this is the camera you pick, be sure to look at the lens, then the megapixel sensor, then the added functionality.

Panasonic has a history of saying “mine is bigger”. At CES 2008, they’ve unveiled the biggest yet–a staggeringly huge 150-inch plasma TV that can probably burn the eyelashes off a gnat at 50 paces if you turn the contrast up high enough. It has 4096×2160 native resolution and is the equivalent to nine 50-inch plasma TV screens. We can’t think of any possible use for this without the word “cinema” involved, but the maniac home theatre purist in us is desperately seeking a price tag.
