PanasonicPanasonic L10 review : Panasonic carefully made a start with their first digital SLR camera. The L1 was mainly meant to gain some experience in this class and to establish a name as DSLR supplier. No high production figures were expected and the L1 found itself in the top segment straight away. The second digital SLR camera Panasonic introduced, the L10, is a lot less modest. The appearance might have become more conservative, but that is only the cover of what may be looked upon as a real revolution. Panasonic is redefining the DSLR with the Lumix L10. At the time the L1 got introduced, together with the Olympus E-330, we were somewhat scornful about the Live View function.

Panasonic L10 - Live View LCD screen
Most of us, definitely including me, doubted if Live View was of any use on a digital SLR. We know better now; Live View is on its way to become a standard option on the new generation digital SLR cameras. However, Panasonic is now far ahead of the brands already applying Live View. The Panasonic DMC-L10 offers Live View on a free-angle LCD screen inclusive face detection. This is what we call revolutionary.

Panasonic L10 - Lens with Mega OIS
The Panasonic Lumix L10 is clearly ranked below the L1 but does offer more pixels. No less than 10 Megapixels are found on the new Live MOS sensor. Of course the Panasonic L10 has been built according to the FourThirds System. A new lens has been introduced together with the camera, naturally equipped with Mega O.I.S. Like the L1, the Panasonic Lumix DMC L10 features a Leica kit lens with a zoom range of 14-50mm, equivalent of 28-100mm on a 35mm camera.

Panasonic L10 SLR review
The Panasonic Lumix L10 processes all data through a Venus Engine III processor just like its bigger brother. And the image sensor obviously carries the Supersonic Wave Filter for dust reduction. I can imagine that this brief introduction of the Lumix L10 DSLR camera asks for more so move on to the Panasonic Lumix L10 review.
