  • The DMC-L1 is Panasonics first foray into the highly competitive digital SLR market. As such I think they should be pretty happy with the result. From an image quality point of view theyve taken a surprisingly mature and conservative approach delive...

  • Abstract:  Panasonic has described its new Lumix DMC-L1 as combining analog operational concept and design and the new model looks and feels like a fusion of a rangefinder camera and the Olympus E-330 (on which much of the L1s technology is based). With an RRP...

  • Good in-camera image processing; nice manual controls; good auto-exposure and autofocus; very nice kit lens; excellent RAW conversion software.
  • Not very fast and responsive for its price; tiny viewfinder; noisy image sensor; very poor live view mode.
