Pros:
Lots of manual options, even within the usually locked preset modes. Design is very functional, if not very pretty. Takes AA batteries. |
 |
Cons:
Images weren't the best quality, especially not at full zoom or under dim lighting. No panorama or other fun in-camera modes. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ10 doesn't take the best pictures of all the cameras we've seen in its class, but it does offer loads more flexibility, and it comes packaged in a nice, functional design. Images could be a bit noisy and blurry, lacking in subtle details, especially as the light began to fade, and at the longest zoom range, we didn't get the sharp images we were hoping for. Still, the camera gives the user as much control as a prosumer DSLR, and there were so many preset options, even the scene modes had scene modes. We would recommend this camera for casual shooters who already know enough about photography to really benefit from the aperture, shutter and other exposure controls that we found on the LZ10. |
