Panasonic has never really been known for its digital cameras, particularly in the digital SLR (dSLR) category.
However Panasonic's latest dSLR camera, the Lumix DMC-L10, is definitely an improvement over previous models and brings the manufacturer within striking distance of its more established competitors.
The DMC-L10 is a smallish digital camera, aimed at newcomers to the dSLR market. It's a 10-megapixel model that features some nice inclusions such as live-view mode, which allows you to view your photo on the LCD screen before you capture it. This is a feature that's common to compact digital cameras. Beginners will also appreciate the array of scene and film modes, which is a nice way of easing into the more complex world of digital SLR photography.
The L10's performance could best be described as solid. That's not necessarily a bad thing - in the competitive dSLR market, there are many sub-par performers and only a handful of truly outstanding cameras. The L10 falls neatly around the middle of the bunch.
It's not the fastest camera around in any respect, so if you need something that can be fired up and ready to go at a moment's notice, you may need to look elsewhere. However image quality is above average, thanks to accurate colour reduction and noise minimisation.
