So I have a camera that I want to share with you guys today. This is the latest from

Panasonic that came out this week. This is the Panasonic Lummox 10, which is designed to

compete in the high-end compact point and shoot category so it's designed to compete with things like the

Sony R.X 100 series it is considerably less expensive which is nice and features a lot of the same

stuff that you're going to see on the R.X series. It can also be viewed as a younger sibling to the

Alex 100, which is a slightly larger-looking version of the same idea and one of

the key features on here is that has a physical aperture ring.

And so when you're in aperture priority mode,

or if you're in manual mode,

it makes it kind of nice because you're going to actually dial in your aperture that way.

And with compact cameras, especially sometimes

because of the physical restrictions

there's only so many knobs and dials that you can get on a camera and so it is nice to

be able to physically turn the aperture to dial it in. Another feature that a lot of

people are really excited about is it does feature a 180 degree tilt screen.

So ideally this would make a very interesting vlogging camera and I'll come back to that in a minute.

But first let's dive in and look at some of the features of the

LX 10. The LX 10 features a 24 millimeter to 72 millimeter equivalent

F1.4 to 2.8 like a variosumelux and the reason I put in asterisk there is because that is an equivalent to 35 millimeter except when you're recording in 4k which is a slight caveat.

The Alex 10 does feature cropping when it's shooting in 4k so on the... The camera features a one inch sensor which is

shooting in 4k so on the widest angle it's probably more like a

37 millimeter.
