Panasonic L10 vs Panasonic SZ7

Lets look more closely at the Panasonic L10 and Panasonic SZ7, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact and both of them are built by Panasonic. There is a huge difference between the resolutions of the L10 (10MP) and SZ7 (14MP) and the L10 (Four Thirds) and SZ7 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor sizing.

The L10 was announced 5 years earlier than the SZ7 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic L10 being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Panasonic SZ7 being a Compact camera.

Before getting right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief summation of how the L10 scores versus the SZ7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ7. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic L10 Gallery and Panasonic SZ7 Gallery.

Often, it is very hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through technical specs. The photograph here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the L10 and SZ7.

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The L10 using its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh simpler and the Panasonic SZ7 will resolve greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older L10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
