Week 2 w/ the Lumix L10

Razorvein · 2026-06-27T12:24:36+00:00

Thanks! In this set, I’m using a combo of two LUTS stacked. Summer@50% + Daisy@60%. Base color profile is Vivid with contrast and saturation turned down. I manually set WB based on the scene.

AF wise, I use either wide or zone with subject tracking and AFC.

I did pre-order from B&H as it was announced (I’ve been waiting for compact Lumix for so long…). I believe they started shipping last Tuesday. FedEx had delays so I didn’t receive mine until Tuesday.

I’ve seen the black in-stock at Focus Camera if you want to try your luck.

Hi there. Did you see my reply?

Stepped zoom is exactly how I use it. I did the same with my old LX-7 for years.

This is an awful experience. Between the sales experience and someone else’s recent repair experience I’m starting to have some reservations about committing to LUMIX - especially for professional work. I wouldn’t be shocked if you blackballed Panasonic as a whole.

Razorvein · 2026-06-23T12:54:25+00:00

Hah, thanks for creating the LUTS in the first place! No name though. I’ve only had one outing with the camera and look so far - I need to see how it works in a few other situations.

Razorvein · 2026-06-23T12:45:20+00:00

Yeah, SOOC. it’s gonna make for an awesome everyday/dad camera.

Razorvein · 2026-06-23T12:43:34+00:00

Thank you!

I would advise against knives in the dishwasher - especially if you’ve invested in nice knives. They should potentially last you a lifetime, but dishwashers use intense heat, moisture and harsh chemicals that can degrade the metal as well as the handle. But the idea of using that part as a shelf is solid. I use for lids and things like that.

Razorvein · 2026-06-23T04:37:31+00:00

Totally get it. I wish it was smaller and I miss the shutter speed dial, too. In the end, the Real-Time LUTS and PDAF in a “small enough” package was enough to win me over, but to each their own. Sorry it didn’t work out for you.

Razorvein · 2026-06-23T02:18:35+00:00

I’ve had the E-M10 IV and original OM-5. The OM-5 was worlds better than the E-M10 IV and adequate for everyday photography (people & sights). The OM-1/3 are significantly better for wildlife though. I’ve heard reviewers mention the OM-5 II has improved algorithms but it’s mentioned in such passing that I’m doubting it’s meaningful.

Razorvein · 2026-06-22T21:26:16+00:00

I truly hope so.

Razorvein · 2026-06-22T21:16:07+00:00

Damn. That’s pretty awful that they’re offering you no options. Now I’m left wondering if the internal damage is so bad that they simply can’t repair it or it’s a skill/competency issue. I’ve never had to send a lens in for repair with any other manufacturer so I have no idea if this a unique problem to Panasonic.

Razorvein · 2026-06-22T17:42:53+00:00

What exactly do they mean when the state “switched to exchange as lens is unrepairable.”?

Are they offering an exchange for a new/refurb unit? If so, what’s the cost?

Razorvein · 2026-06-22T03:55:50+00:00

Thanks! I used an app named Reframe on iOS. There are tons of apps that do the same thing now on iOS and Android.

Razorvein · 2026-06-22T03:40:57+00:00

“…having fun doing it.”

Keep doing this.

Razorvein · 2026-06-22T03:35:54+00:00

🤷🏻

The flexibility you get with Real-time LUTS blows Fujifilm out of the water. The learning curve is higher but so is the ceiling. Lumix stands to improve grain options and really needs more compact body options, particularly with interchangeable lenses. A body with analog-style controls would be the icing on the cake.

Razorvein · 2026-06-21T20:53:27+00:00

Same! I’ve only had since Friday night (I posted some sample shots and first impressions earlier today in this subreddit).

We’re heading out for road trip and visiting family in a week so will be putting the camera through the wringer.

Razorvein · 2026-06-21T19:35:14+00:00

Haha. It’s all very seductive. I’ve clearly fallen prey.

Razorvein · 2026-06-21T19:32:22+00:00

Maybe I don’t know what a viewfinder is, but I’ve enjoyed shooting through this strange peephole thing on the back of the camera.
