Panasonic has just released an update for the Panasonic DMC-L10 digital SLR, which we are reviewing right now. The 1.1 firmware update looks to make a number of improvements to the L10 as follows:

  • Faster auto focus with Panasonic Lenses
  • Improved performance of the auto exposure in the night mode
  • Improved auto white balance
  • Shortened minimum shooting intervals in the single shooting mode
  • Enables use of the front & rear dial in fine white balance and shifting the manual focus assist window.

That doesn't sound like anything earth-shattering, but it's good to see that Panasonic are still tweaking the camera after it has been released.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 shows dead-on color accuracy

Forget tedious color correction – the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 produces accurate, vivid colors right out of the camera. We’re in the midst of testing Panasonic’s flagship DSLR, and have found some very pleasing results. In our color accuracy test, the camera produced an astonishing L*a*b mean color error of 4.55 in Standard Film mode, its default setting. This is the most accurate camera we have ever tested, reproducing the colors of our test chart almost perfectly. Accuracy this good will eliminate hours spent correcting unsightly colors in Photoshop. For comparison, the Canon EOS 1D Mark III had a mean color error of 5.69 in Faithful mode, and the Olympus EVOLT E-510 produced a 5.87.

Does the rest of the L10 live up to its fantastic color accuracy? Stay tuned for our full review coming in the next few weeks.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 Review

Photography Blog got their hands on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 DSLR, which seeks to make a place for itself in a world obsessed with Canon and Nikon. The DSLR strength lies in its Leica Kit lens, free-angle LCD screen and advanced Live View mode.

However the Leica kit is also its Achilles heel since the L10 becomes an expensive camera for beginners. However if you have some extra change lying around then the reviewer “highly recommends” the L10.
