By Drew Prindle January 8, 2013

They’ve already released new lines of earbuds, over-ears, speaker docks, and bluetooth streaming players — and Panasonic’s just getting started. Today at CES they also dropped their latest line of Lumix digital cameras on the world. Here’s a bit more info on each one:

The SZ3 is a point and shoot that has 10x optical zoom, 20x digital zoom, and a 35mm wide angle lens. Like some of the other point-and-shoot’s Panasonic unveiled, this one comes with a handful of creative control filters that can be applied to your photos directly after you take them.

The Lumix DMC-LZ30 is a 16.1-megapixel powerhouse that sports a 35x optical zoom (25mm focal length at the wide end), and an extra optical zoom function designed to increase zoom power to 78.8x at 3MP resolution.

FH10 is a 16.1 megapixel compact point-and-shoot with 5x optical zoom and 4.3mm focal length. It’ll come in pink, purple and black.

Lumix F5 is a slim, pocket-sized camera with a 14-megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom, Mega optical image stabiliser and 13 built-in creative control filters. It is available in a range of four different colors including, red, purple, black and white. It’s also got a 2.7” screen and offers 720p HD video recording in addition to stills capture.

But wait, there’s more! To see the rest of Panasonic’s Lumix lineup, check out part two!

This Norweigian Airbnb is the fairy-tale retreat of your childhood dreams

airbnb in gudbrandsdalen noraway air 1

Airbnb recently added its 4 millionth listing worldwide -- for perspective sake, that ungodly number is more than the combined listings of the top five hotel chains. Needless to say, with this much real estate there are plenty of options to choose from, to say the least. We've covered a number of dreamy Airbnbs over the years and this latest listing in the Land of the Midnight Sun should be on your wanderlust bucket list. If you've ever wanted to stay in a 17th-century Norwegian guesthouse, you're in luck.

Nestled in the quaint town of Gudbrandsdalen, Norway, the Nordigard Blessom is situated on a sprawling, functional 17th-century sheep farm that has been maintained continuously by the Blessom family for several hundreds of years. A series of 16th- and 17th-century wooden loghouses pepper the property as well as a livestock barn.

A faithful satellite drifts stunningly close: The best supermoon photos

best supermoon photos moon 2

From the first total solar eclipse to grace the continental United States in nearly 40 years to the recent Leonids meteor shower, we earthlings have been spoiled with a regular collection of astronomical events this 2017. And although the year may be coming to an end, the awe-inspiring events just kept coming over the weekend. Recently, skywatchers had the opportunity to take in a rare supermoon overhead -- the first and last supermoon of this year. Above, we curated a list of some of the best supermoon photos snapped around the globe but what exactly is a supermoon?

Rather than a perfect circle, the moon orbits around our home planet in an elliptical pattern and one full orbit around our planet takes roughly 29.5 days. Depending on the moon's location on this elongated orbital trajectory, our faithful natural satellite is sometimes closer or farther away from our planet. At the closest point of this orbit (perigee), the moon is a more than 31,000 miles closer to our planet than it is during its farthest point of orbit (apogee).

With its starburst design, the Joshua Tree Residence thwarts sand and spectators

Joshua Tree Residence

With its futuristic build and opaque exterior, Whitacker Studio’s Joshua Tree Residence is a diamond in the California rough. Architect James Whitaker designed the structure using a series of shipping containers arranged in a clever starburst formation. Even though the design may look a bit chaotic, it was intentional, as each container was positioned to provide privacy for residents.

The privacy is an essential part of the interior, which is minimalist and filled with natural light. Despite the asymmetrical design of the private residence, there is an openness to it, namely due to the open living area located in the heart of the home. This privacy aspect also extends to the back of the home, which features a secluded deck that's built into a cove of rocks, thus providing protection from the desert winds.
