Panasonic L1 Review auf imaging-resource
Die Panasonic L1 wurde von imaging-resource getestet. Die Kamera kommt ganz schön unter die Räder, insbesondere in Sachen Bedienkonzept/Usability.

Mal ganz kurz die Pro/Contra Liste:
Pro:
Sturdy build
Unique pop-up flash with bounce option
Nice LCD display
Good resolution
Many buttons for easy access to frequently used controls
Live View mode good for composing images from odd angles
Good quality lens with optical image stabilization
Pretty good low light performance
Good color balance across ISO range
Smart status display doubles as quick link to oft-used menu items
Con:
LCD does not swing out from the body
Optical viewfinder is dim even in bright daylight
Autofocus in Live View mode is extremely slow, introducing dramatic shutter lag
Preflash is very early, increasing shutter lag beyond 1/2 second
Flash does not deploy automatically in Auto modes
Grip is too short
Shutter button is in an awkward location
Strap lug location is odd, making it harder to get to the shutter button
Fly-by-wire focusing ring is slow to respond
Camera is heavy on the left, weight is badly distributed unless you use two hands
No optical viewfinder shutter means that you have to use the viewfinder cover on the strap to avoid overexposure when shooting in Live View mode
Camera is expensive and large compared to similar, and smaller, even higher-resolution cameras
Analog controls move too easily from Auto positions
Finger easily covers IR white balance assist window
U.a. ist auch ein Video der Live-View Funktion der L1 enthalten, das ist ja jenseits von Gut und Böse. Wenn das bei der neuen E-510 und E-410 genauso gelöst wird, bringt das dem User wenig.
