28 November 2007 - The Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10, to give it its full title, espouses the rangefinderesque styling and design of its blocky L1 brethren and instead Panasonic has opted for a more traditional looking digital SLR with compact and lightweight lines and a 10.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor that provides the neat Live View functionality.
The new 14-50mm Leica D Vario-Elmar F3.5-F5.6 zoom kit lens provides a very useful 28-100mm 35mm format equivalent focal range but is a slower aperture affair over the L1�s lens (it has a F2.8 to F3.5 aperture range) with a more modest F3.8-F5.6 maximum aperture range and is the benefit of the continuing strategic alliance with Leica for lenses.
Panasonics MEGA OIS (optical image stabilisation) is built into the lens and works very well indeed and helps offset some of the slower aperture problems you�ll encounter in low light for example, where you will slower shutter speeds at your disposal. However, it makes control of depth of field less flexible so lowers the camera�s creative flexibility in that regard.
