Thread: Perfect for Frog and giraffe perspective: Panasonic L10

The compact cameras at quite obvious function on the LCD to see what the camera straight in the eye, it is in digital SLR cameras still a relatively new feature, which is here, "Life View". This is of course the principle of SLR, which have their mirror the beam path between film.

The redeployment of Life View technology, which I have had in hand, however, wanted no right value. The Panasonic L10 is the first affordable digital SLR, thanks to the Life View also more flexible usage My 2,5-Zoll-Display is turned and pivoted.

It can now also images from the perspective frog shoot without front of the abdomen to throw. And you may have about the crowds giraffe view imitate without the proper placement of the subject in the picture cut to chance it.

My practical experience from a week Singapore: in the first, it is almost zeal on the hunt for unusual perspectives. This excessive desire disappears after a certain time, but even then, the L10 is still very good pictures. Last on compact cameras set, will focus on the L10 immediately feel at home.

The automatic mode almost all of the work done to the satisfaction. Panasonic Panasonic has even an integrated face recognition (the only Life-View mode works). Sure instead 99 different scene modes, there are only the most important.And who is really a motif on the back Pelle will come to a second lens A little confusion creates the button "movie fashion." Thus, the L10 is not commanding, scenes of the film would have a fundamental change in SLR cameras. Rather, it gives the images on a look and feel that is the analog of movies comes close.

But is the first entry managed to be concerned with the time but happy with the abundance of recruitment possibilities. the existing SD eh can you do with the L10 further use in the professional field usual Compact Flash cards swallows them.

The screen is, in most situations well read, he adjusts its brightness of the environment. Even some attitudes reflected directly on the Life-View screen again, to change as the white balance, we noticed when looking through the viewfinder "no changes on the screen but by all means. The quality of 10-Megapixel-Fotos is very acceptable: Up to ISO 400 is as good as no perceivable image noise, but also ISO 800 is very good to use. Thanks to the optical Bildstabilisators (of the lens, however, must be supported), The battery of the camera kept in practice by long-pleasant for more than 250 recordings, and I very rarely flashed and a quarter of the recordings Life View used.

Overall, the L10 a fairly konkurrenzfreies offer. The price of around 1300 euro appears at first glance high, but he puts something through the lens quality. Without the camera lens is not currently available. Test images can be found here, incidentally.
