Camera Overview — Panasonic DMC-SZ10

The Panasonic LUMIX SZ10 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 1/2.3-inch sensor delivering 16MP resolution. It's designed for everyday shooters who want a lightweight, portable option that covers the basics without a steep learning curve. The camera weighs just 177g and measures 99 x 59.9 x 29.8 mm, making it genuinely pocketable for travel and casual use.

The body is constructed from plastic with a rubberized grip, keeping handling comfortable despite the slim profile. A standout physical feature is the 2.7-inch tilting LCD display with 460,000 dots of resolution, which adds compositional flexibility for low-angle or self-facing shots. The camera includes optical image stabilization (OIS), which helps manage camera shake without relying on digital processing.

ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 6400, giving a reasonable range for varying light conditions. Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system across 9 focus points. Built-in Wi-Fi is included for easy image sharing, while storage is flexible with support for SD, SDHC, SDXC cards as well as internal storage.

A built-in pop-up flash with multiple modes handles low-light scenes, and the DMW-BCL7E Li-ion battery is rated for approximately 200 shots per charge. Video is captured at up to 30fps in 8-bit depth.
