Tech.co.uk has posted a hands-on preview of the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 digital SLR:

Key specifications of the DMC-L10 include a 10.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor, 3fps burst mode, all the usual focusing and shooting modes, and a 2.5-inch LCD that automatically adjusts brightness.

The Venus Engine III image processing system stays the same, and has been tweaked to work with the supplied Leica D 14-50mm lens. There’s also face detection for up to 15 faces, and intelligent ISO to measure movement of the subject/s. These technologies work together to prevent motion blur in your photos.

3 fps sounds slow after reading so many reviews of cameras like the Canon 1D Mark II, but in real life 3 fps should be enough for most people.

Panasonic is one of the first companies to really offer a compelling reason to try live view on a DSLR camera, via their fully articulated LCD screen that flips out from the camera body, and rotates around 270 degrees to let you shoot from unusual positions.

The preview doesn’t have any sample photos, since the cameras they used were pre-production, and doesn’t really offer more than just a look at the specs. So you can’t really say that they took full advantage of the hands-on opportunity to give a review offering anything new. But I’ll still link to them, just because I’m friendly that way.
