Panasonic's aboriginal agenda SLR acquired absolutely a activity at an contrarily blah PMA 2006, due in no baby allotment to its different Leica-inspired administration and Vario Elmarit 14-50mm optically counterbalanced lens. But ultimately the DMC-L1, bootless to construe all that barrage absorption into absolute sales. This was acknowledgment in allotment to its top amount (the kit lens accounting for bisected the $2000 ticket) and rather attenuate affection set. But the added botheration - aggregate with the Olympus E330 (on which it was based and with which it aggregate abounding components) - was that the beefy anarchistic styling, afflictive viewfinder and bulky Live View Implementation beatific abeyant purchasers scurrying aback to the 'safe' best of an SLR from a added boilerplate manufacturer.
And now we accept the additional Panasonic Lumix DSLR, the DMC-L10, a far added accepted activity (it in fact looks a lot like a reflex adaptation of the FZ50) that offers some cogent new appearance including a absolutely articulating LCD monitor, user interface improvements, a resolution backpack to ten megapixels and the adeptness to use contrast-detect autofocus in Live View approach application the sensor itself (though alone with accordant lenses - basically the two new zooms appear today). There are aswell several appearance that accept migrated from Panasonic's bunched Lumix range, including Intelligent ISO mode, quick 'FUNC' card and a admixture of arena modes.
Like the L1 the new archetypal is the bake-apple of the affiliation amid Panasonic and Olympus, and already afresh it appearance a Live MOS sensor and SSWF dust abatement filter, (we don't accept audible advice yet, but the mirror box and sensor are, we doubtable the aforementioned as the E-410). Already afresh the kit lens is a Panasonic/Leica collaboration, complete with optical angel stabilization, admitting (presumably to accumulate costs down) it is a lighter, slower zoom (F3.8-5.6) and it doesn't accept an breach ring. The L10 aswell does abroad with the L1's acceptable bang acceleration punch in favor of accompanying ascendancy dials.
The capital blueprint differences are apparent below, but aboriginal let's alpha with a arbitrary of the important stuff:
- New lightweight compact body.
- Resolution increase (from 7.5 to 10 megapixels).
- Slightly brighter viewfinder (with optional 1.2x magnifier eyepiece included) .
- Articulating screen (180° swing and tilt).
- New smaller, lighter kit lens (around a stop slower max aperture too).
- All-new control interface.
- Contrast detect autofocus in live view (mirror stays up) - with compatible lens
- Less expensive than L1 at launch (though recent L1 price drops may reduce gap in store).
