Digital Camera Reviews

The Lumix DMC-L10 is Panasonic’s second digital SLR, and unlike its debut model, this one’s aimed squarely at the consumer market.Eighteen months ago Panasonic’s first digital SLR caused quite a stir at an otherwise lackluster PMA 2006, due in no small part to its unique Leica-inspired styling and Vario Elmarit 14-50mm optically stabilized lens.  Panasonic has further exploited the benefits of Live View to support contrast-based AF which allows the L10 to focus during Live View without flipping its mirror back and forth. The L10 even supports Face Detection – a first for a DSLR.

Panasonic Digital Camera Reviews:-

# Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 Review is take from Dpreview:- The L10 is a very different beast to the camera that came before it, and is obviously aimed at a very different segment of the market. Where the L1 was a solid, heavy lump of a camera with a semi professional build, traditional ’shutter speed and aperture dial’ operation and styling that owed more than a nod to Leica’s rangefinder models, the L10 is a lightweight, conventionally styled SLR with a control interface and feature set that matches mid-range models from the bigger players in the market. You don’t get the L1’s tank-like build, and some users will bemoan the loss of the unique ‘bounce’ 2-position flash and aperture ring, but I think it’s safe to say that the L10 is going to be a far easier camera for Panasonic to sell.

# Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 Review is take from Imaging-resource:-The Panasonic L10’s Live View mode is Panasonic’s “Intelligent ISO Control” function, which monitors subject movement, and then raises ISO sensitivity as necessary to achieve a blur-free image. Metering is also linked to the Live View mode, with metering regularly 49-zone, but switched to a more fine-grained 256-zone metering when framing subjects on the camera’s 2.5″ LCD display. That display itself is also designed to get the most out of Live View mode, being a tilt / swivel type that will let users hold the camera at pretty much any angle while still being able to see the LCD. (This is something for which we’ve heard countless requests from DSLR buyers over the years, and it will be interesting to see how the feature is adopted by users.) One more feature tied into the live view mode is one we’d frankly not expected to see on a digital SLR any time soon — digital zoom. Either a 2x or 4x digital zoom are available, but we’d have to guess most users shooting with a DSLR would be more likely to make enlargements on a PC rather than in-camera.

# Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 Review is take from Blogizen:- As you can see, Panasonic threw some extras in the box with the L10, including a 1.2X magnifier eyecup, lens hood, and lens storage bag. I can’t think of a digital SLR that comes with any of those as standard accessories.There’s also the kit lens which, as I mentioned earlier, isn’t quite as nice as the one that came with the DMC-L1. Both lenses are 14 - 50 mm (equivalent to 28 - 100 mm), but the L1’s F2.8 - F3.5 lens is a heck of a lot faster than the F3.8 - F5.6 lens that comes with the DMC-L10. This lens is a lot closer to what’s offered on other entry-level D-SLRs, though none of them have built-in optical image stabilization.
The lens’ OIS system lets you shoot at shutter speeds that would be unavailable on an unstabilized camera/lens, and I’ll have an example of it in action later in the review. As with all digital SLRs, no memory card is included with the DMC-L10. That means that, unless you already have one, you’ll want to buy a large and fast SD, SDHC, or MMC card right away. I’d suggest starting out with a 2GB card, and it’s worth paying the extra bucks for a high speed model.                                                           

# Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 Review is take from Megapixel:-The layout of the DMC-L10’s external controls is typical of an SLR. Although these are numerous, their placement allows for a good ergonomic design. The grip is deep, with a comfortable size, and is topped by the chromed two-stage shutter release. The Front Dial is embedded just above the rubberized grip area, while the Rear Dial is on the back of the camera, at the same level, making it accessible with the thumb. These 2 dials allow for extensive control over the camera’s settings, and the settings they control can be modified in the Custom menu.

# Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 Review is take from Photography:- The new Lumix L10 may look normal at first glance, but Panasonic have pulled out all the stops to ensure that the L10 is unlike any other DSLR camera currently available. Drawing on their rich heritage of well-received compact and ultra-zoom models, the Panasonic L10 is the closest that you will get to a compact digicam in DSLR form, and is an ideal match for anyone upgrading to a DSLR. This is the first ever DSLR to offer a 2.5 inch flip-out LCD that offers 270 degree of rotation, making it perfect for waist level shooting, hand-held self-portraits and getting down close to the ground.

# Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 Review is take from Cameralabs:- Panasonic Lumix L10 certainly looks like a neat option for consumer DSLR buyers and features several unique aspects which separate it from the crowd including a flip-out screen, face detection, contrast-based AF during Live View and an optically-stabilised Leica kit lens. It is however going up against highly established players and also at a higher price than most budget models.
