Panasonic Lumix L10: Fixed-Lens Compact with Leica Glass Returns

The LX100 had a loyal following and Panasonic quietly let it die. The L10 is the resurrection, and the specs are serious: same sensor as the GH7, a fast Leica zoom that starts at f/1.7, and a build quality that won't embarrass you at a client meeting. That 24-75mm equivalent range with f/1.7 at the wide end is a genuinely useful walk-around setup for event, travel, or street work where you want one body and no bag of glass. The new L.Classic Photo Styles suggest Panasonic is chasing the in-camera JPEG crowd that Fujifilm has owned for years. Whether it can actually compete on that front is the real question. If you've been running an LX100 II into the ground, this is the upgrade you've been waiting three years for.
