Panasonic has announced a new addition to its Lumix camera line with a compact body and fixed lens that’s targeted at photographers instead of creators making video content. The Lumix L10 is available for preorder today with a black or silver finish for $1,499.99. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Lumix brand, the L10 will also be available in a titanium gold finish with matching accessories and software for $1,599.99, but only in limited numbers and primarily through Panasonic’s online store.
The Lumix L10 weighs 508 grams and features a magnesium alloy front case and a metal exterior partially wrapped in a textured finish designed to look like saffiano leather. Beneath its retro-inspired exterior is a 20.4MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor that’s also found in the Lumix GH7. However, while the GH7 is a video powerhouse, that’s not what the new L10 is designed for. It can still capture 4K videos at up to 120fps to several formats, including Panasonic’s MP4 Lite, but its compact size limits its heat dissipation capabilities which in turn limits recording length.
