FollowSee All by Andrew Liszewski is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Panasonic has announced a new addition to its Lumix camera line with a compact body and fixed lens that’s targeted at photographers instead of creators making video content. The Lumix L10 is available for preorder today with a black or silver finish for $1,499.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Lumix brand, the L10 will also be available in a titanium gold finish with matching accessories and software for $1,599. 99, but only in limited numbers and primarily through Panasonic’s online store. The Lumix L10 weighs 508 grams and features a magnesium alloy front case and a metal exterior partially wrapped in a textured finish designed to look like saffiano leather.

Industry Implications

Beneath its retro-inspired exterior is a 20. 4MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor that’s also found in the Lumix GH7. However, while the GH7 is a video powerhouse, that’s not what the new L10 is designed for.

It can still capture 4K videos at up to 120fps to several formats, including Panasonic’s MP4 Lite, but its compact size limits its heat dissipation capabilities which in turn limits recording length. The L10 is available in a black (top left) or silver (top right) finish, as well as a more expensive titanium gold version (bottom).

8 that’s adjustable through a lens ring while macro shooting capabilities allow autofocus to capture a subject as close as 3cm away. The L10’s phase hybrid focus system uses 779 autofocus points spread across the frame to track moving subjects using an AI-based real-time recognition system capable of locking onto eyes, faces, bodies, animals, or vehicles.

This advance offers important signals about the future of the sector, and the tech world is watching closely.
