Panasonic DMC-L10

Is it time to upgrade your photo gear so you can improve your skills or thinking of taking up photography for the first time in you life? This professional looking DMC-L10 from Panasonic is the answer.

The beginner-friendly features like face-detection (recognizes up to 15 faces in the frame and optimizes the focus and exposure settings to capture them clearly and correctly.), Intelligent ISO (prevents motion blur by detecting if the subject is moving and adjusting the ISO setting and shutter speed accordingly) and MEGA O.I.S. (optical image stabilization system, which prevents blurring caused by shaky hands and helps you capture sharp images) makes pictures taking a lot easier.

The full-time LCD live view gives you more flexibility with a screen that rotates 180° left and right and 270° front and back for shots at both high and low angles. Viewing the LCD before you take the shot helps you focus on your subject with more accuracy while Film Mode lets you adjust the photo characteristics.
