Lumix L10: Proper alternative to Fujifilm X100VI? | Gimbal cameras | Budget lenses

Welcome to the latest episode of Bokeh Face: The Digital Camera World Podcast! This week, James and Mike Gear Up with the Panasonic Lumix L10. It’s got the looks, it’s ‘kind of’ got the form factor, and it’s even got Film Simulation-esque LUTs. But is it really in any danger of taking the Fujifilm X100VI’s retro compact camera crown? Then they take an In Focus look at gimbal cameras such as the DJI Osmo Pocket and Insta360 Luna, discussing the startling effect they’ve had on both the vlogging camera industry and the video industry as a whole. Finally, in Trouble Shooting, the Bokeh Face boys tackle budget lenses. What constitutes a budget lens? What are James and Mike’s top picks? And are budget lenses actually ever any good?

Budget super telephoto zooms • Smart telescopes • Travel compact cameras

We take an In Focus look at smart telescopes. Intelligent devices that allow anyone to find, observe and photograph celestial objects from the comfort of their own home, while Chris walks Mike through the new Dwarf Mini smart telescope from DwarfLab. Then we Gear Up with the Panasonic Lumix TZ300 compact camera and its huge 15x optical zoom, with Chris applauding its 1-inch sensor and billing it as the return of the all-in-one travel camera. Finally, in Trouble Shooting, Mike delivers his top budget super telephoto zooms for sports and aviation photography. A relatively recent class of lenses that has made long-distance photography much more accessible for those who cannot justify the expenditure of a 600mm f/4 prime (which is most of us!). Enjoy all that and more, in the latest episode of Bokeh Face: The Digital Camera World Podcast.
