Focus is quick and accurate and
As seems to be the case with the Four Thirds system
There is slightly greater depth of field at any given focal length. Resolution of lens and sensor is good. Colour rendition is very good
Particularly of solid primar...
Nice body design
Articulated LCD makes live-view shooting much more useful
The editors didn't like
Dynamic range is poor and image noise at ISO settings above 800 is seriously intrusive. We noticed that Olympus seem to do better in controlling noise from the same sensor. We have a reservation about the price. A comparable Olympus E-510 costs $1500.
Ttrouble focusing in very low light
Tops out at ISO 1
600
Live mode has limited functionality when using most lenses

Articulated LCD screen, Stabilized Leica 1450 mm lens, Two ways of focusing (and aiming), Nice image quality, Efficient antidust system
Slowness in contrast detect auto focusing, Disappointing burst mode, Delay in shooting when aiming with the LCD, No video mode, Viewfinder unpleasant for those that wear glasses
The Panasonic DMC-L10 falls between two stools – not quite a semi-professional camera but not an entry-level model either, which means that £900 is still looking expensive, even if the package includes a decent lens. Gavin Stoker Lowest online...
Abstract: Panasonics second DSLR, the Lumix DMC-L10, is the follow-up to the makers Lumix DMC-L1, a metal-bodied semi-pro model, which featured one of the best kit lenses around - the image-stabilised Leica 14-50mm f/2.8-3.5 zoom. If the DMC-L1 was targeting p...
The Panasonic L10 is only available in kit form with the lens and body and is priced at a recommended £900. Compared to a number of other DSLR cameras on the market, this is quite high and needs to pull something special out of the bag to compete. The ...
