No, it looks a bit like a Leica M-series. Strange coincidence, eh?

The referenced article doesn't actually seem to mention whether the
lens is interchangeable, which seems like a pretty big oversight!

Second text paragraph reads:

"Having announced our entry to the digital SLR market in 2005, Panasonic
is pleased to update you on the development of the state-of-the-art Lumix
DMC-L1 - our first interchangeable-lens digital SLR camera, distinguished
from conventional digital SLRs by combining the operating feel of an
analogue camera with innovative features unique to digital cameras."

Does the camera use a mirror for reflex, or is the reflex electronic?
