Lumix L10 vs Fujifilm X100VI: The $1,500 Compact Shootout

The $1,500 compact bracket now has a real challenger to the X100VI, and it's not from a brand you'd expect to nail simplicity. Panasonic's L10 brings a fixed Leica-branded zoom and a 26MP MFT sensor to a fight where Fujifilm wins on feel and file colour almost by default. The L10's sensor size disadvantage is real in low light, but a zoom lens versus a fixed prime changes the working brief entirely. If you're shooting varied client work from a compact, the L10's flexibility might actually matter more than the X100VI's brand cachet.
