The Panasonic Lumix L10 is a 20.3-megapixel compact camera and a successor to the LX100 II, designed for users stepping up from smartphones. Priced at $1,500, it offers a 24-75mm equivalent f/1.7-2.8 Leica zoom lens, making it more versatile than fixed-lens rivals like Fujifilm's X100 VI. Steve Dent for Engadget rated it 8.7/10, praising its fast shooting, excellent photo quality, and solid video capabilities.

The L10 is heavier at 508 grams versus the LX100 II's 392 grams, with a deep grip, two control dials, a photo/video/S&Q switch, and a four-step aspect ratio switch. A fully articulating 1.8-million-dot rear display and a 2.34-million-dot electronic viewfinder improve usability. Its DMW-BLK22 battery delivers 420 shots or up to 1,000 in power-saving mode, plus 100 minutes of 4K 60p video.

Performance upgrades include a cropped 26.5-megapixel Four Thirds sensor from the GH9 II and phase hybrid AF with 779 points. Burst shooting reaches 9 fps mechanical or 30 fps electronic, outpacing rivals like the Sony RX100 VII and X100 VI. The lens focuses to 3 cm in macro mode, though lens-only stabilization is mediocre.
