photoreview.com.au has the first Panasonic L10 review up. It is pretty favorable.

I have collected some links of previews and interviews from all over the Web and there is actually quite amount of stuff around about this camera, even though it is only available as "preview" to reviewers.
I think this camera shows that Olympus means business with the system. They obviously are going to go for the top pros's someday, and with the E-3 they are getting closer. The E-3 seems to be much closer to Nikon D300 than Canon 40D in performance and build. It has 100% viewfinder, and huge prism that makes the viewfinder the largest available, sans full frame cameras.
Totally new AF system is probably the biggest breakthrough, Olympus customers have had to live with primitive 3 point AF module, even though Olympus has squeezed more performance from it with every model.
The new module is designed from scratch, with 11 all-crosstype sensors working in very low light. (-2EV) Olympus clames it is fastest in the world with the new SWD lenses. It will be interesting to see how that will compare with Canon/Nikon AF systems.
The camera has "only" 5FPS, probably the bare minimum to count as professional camera. With the AF claims, if Olympus/Panasonic could up the speed to, say, 8fps they might have a 1D/D3/D300 alternative for photographers who don't have a personal camera carrier.
Will I buy one? Yes, I am just waiting for it to become available... :D

In Just a little over 48 hours, everyone will be rushing to see how does the new E-series Flagship measure against the best of them out there. A frequent mistake, one no different than comparing apples to oranges.

For the drive system of the E-1's successor, we set high technological targets worthy of a flagship model and then went on to achieve them

Olympus has made a few pioneering advancements to its upcoming successor to the E-1, by completely redesigning the Shutter, Mirror & Viewfinder mechanisms.

Firstly, They set out to build an ultrafast shutter with low energy consumption and higher durability. They have achieved that by reducing the number of gear shifting steps; and placing the cam closer to the shutter & mirror which resulted in a reduced number of parts in transmission; setting a direct drive, means transmission loss is reduced, and accuracy is increased; the use of metallic parts improved both accuracy and durability. Furthermore, the introduction of high-strength engineering resin presents excellent wear resistance.


"We adopted a variety of ingenious new technologies and concepts to obtain the highest image quality
Shigeru Iwase

Secondly, a completely redesigned new mirror mechanism. With a clear aim to be quieter, faster, shock less, and more importantly, sounds just perfect, emphasis on sound here, literally. This gave birth to a mirror box made of carbon resin material with very high rigidity. The viewfinder magnification was increased by using a larger prism, and the AF coverage rate got improved by increasing the size of the AF sub-mirror.
Giving the mirror box unit, image sensor unit and shutter unit different paths, meant that no shock got transmitted to the shutter drive or to the image sensor.

Mark your calendars. The E-1 successor vill be revealed on 17th October.
While no details about this camera have been officially announced there have been numerous leaks point to ten megapixel sensor, liveview, in-body image stabilization (like the E-510), five frames per second and eleven area auto-focus (as well as normal pro features such as full metal body, weatherproofing, etc.)
I guess the rumours are right, specifications in October, camera available in November. (Probably on the 1st, as rumor has it)

Panasonic unveiled the DMC-L10 today. The camera is a hybrid (In look and feel) between Panasonic's FZ line and DSLR. Simon over at dpreview.com has posted a nice preview of the camera.. The camera seems to share the guts from the E-410 (10MP, 3fps, no IS, 3 focus points) but the rest looks like developed by Panasonic. The camera also has an articulated screen and 11 point contrast AF points, in addition to the 3 phase-detection AF points.
Price around USD 1300 including the 14-50mm F3.8-5.6 OIS lens.
And speaking of lenses....

Olympus seems to have jumped the gun and have put the E-3 (I guess the name is official now) on display in Korea. Not much more to see, but the camera seems to be very close to production, some buttons have been relabeled (Fn->IS), and the photos show a working camera with "Card Missing" error on the screen.
The lens is a 12-60/2.8-4, with transparent focus ring, probably to show the SSWD motor in action.
Update: danawa.com has more photos and videos. The camera seems to be very close to E-1 in size.

Only 5 Months after it was first announced and 2 months after it reached the shop shelves the E510 wins its biggest award to date, the 2007-2008 EISA Award as the "Best Consumer Product". In a Press Release yesterday the president of Olympus proudly made this announcement.
