Panasonic DMC-L10 Review
Steves Digicams have reviewed the Panasonic DMC-L10, a new 10.1 megapixel DSLR camera with a unique 2.5 inch free angle LCD screen complete with full time live view.
“As an addition to the dSLR market as an “entry level” camera, it is full of features, controls and performance that can be found on some higher level cameras. It provides a full auto mode, program, shutter and aperture priority, full manual, 3 custom program settings and a set of several pre-programmed scene modes to assist you in certain situations. Program mode gives novice users control over many of the other features such as metering, focus, ISO speed and AF settings. Several of the Advanced Scene Modes help you to take creative photos by finding out certain attributes that you want in photograph and setting the camera based on your choices.”

There is at least one erroneous statement in Steve's conclusion. He writes, "As one of the many companies to adopt the Four Thirds standard for digital lens compatibility, the available number and types of lenses that are compatible is numerous. The selection includes lenses from Leica, Olympus, Kodak, Fuji, Sigma and more."
While the first statement is correct, the second one isn't. Specifically, there are no lenses made for the FourThirds system by Kodak or Fuji. Kodak have contributed to the system by providing sensors for the Olympus E-1, E-300, E-400 and E-500, but no lenses. Fuji are yet to contribute anything.
There are about 30 FourThirds lenses with Olympus, Sigma or Leica branding, all providing autofocus and autoexposure. Furthermore you can mount Olympus OM, Nikon F, Pentax K, Contax RTS, Exakta, M42 and a number of other lenses to FourThirds bodies via appropriate adapters - these require manual focus and stop-down metering.
