Panasonic L10 vs Sony A77

Let's take a deeper look at the Panasonic L10 and Sony A77, both Advanced DSLR cameras by manufacturers Panasonic and Sony. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the L10 (10MP) and A77 (24MP) and the L10 (Four Thirds) and A77 (APS-C) posses totally different sensor measurements.

The L10 was brought out 4 years earlier than the A77 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before going into a complete comparison, here is a concise summation of how the L10 matches up versus the A77 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 and Sony SLT-A77. The entire galleries are available at Panasonic L10 Gallery and Sony A77 Gallery.

When you are planning to carry your camera regularly, you'll need to think about its weight and size. The Panasonic L10 has got exterior measurements of 135mm x 96mm x 78mm (5.3" x 3.8" x 3.1") having a weight of 556 grams (1.23 lbs) whilst the Sony A77 has specifications of 143mm x 104mm x 81mm (5.6" x 4.1" x 3.2") having a weight of 732 grams (1.61 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. Underneath is a front view scale comparison of the L10 and the A77.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the L10 and A77 is 66 and 59 respectively.

Normally, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing just by going through specifications. The visual here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the L10 and A77.

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The L10 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A77 will produce greater detail having its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The older L10 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
