Panasonic Lumix L1 - Exposure
According to Mark Goldstein: "Though there’s little evidence of purple fringing unless you really, really look for it, even on an overcast day it’s easy to lose highlight detail unless you underexpose by a couple of stops, a slightly underexposed image being preferable to one devoid of detail. Though the above concerns are being picky, the biggest bugbear I found with the L1 was its inability – if left on auto - to determine accurate focus in low or filtered natural light. For me its performance in this respect was far less reliable than the likes of Nikon’s D40, which costs a third of the L1."

Mark continues: "In terms of portability the Panasonic L1 is rather weighty and unwieldy, not to mention prohibitively costly, though that added heft – and to be fair, very nicely constructed build – somewhat cushions the blow. The L1 is certainly a high quality if slightly flawed product that I feel is more a way of Panasonic establishing itself as a premium brand among DSLRs than actually producing something it is going to sell in any great numbers."
