Panasonic has revived its once-dead advanced compact camera from 2018 with the launch of the Lumix L10. But the L10 doesn’t just mark the return of Lumix’s Micro Four Thirds compact cameras – it also brings back the multi-aspect sensor from the tech graveyard.
Several of Panasonic’s earlier cameras use what it calls a multi-aspect sensor, including the Lumix L100 II, which the new L10 is based on, as well as some mirrorless cameras like the GH5S. But in recent years, Panasonic’s Micro Four Thirds cameras seem to have largely switched to the more standard format sensors.
