Talk:Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1

Objection to proposed deletion
This camera is notable for being one of the few cameras in the Four Thirds System, and is linked to from that page. If this article is deleted then it will no longer be possible to have a comprehensive list of all of the Four Thirds System cameras. It may well be a rather commercial argument, but the Four Thirds System is somewhat controversial and noteworthy as being a semi-non-proprietary system, as opposed to all the other proprietary systems from Canon, Nikon, Pentax, etc.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 is also noteworthy as one of the very first DLSRs with "live preview", a feature later copied by Canon, Nikon and the others.

If it's absolutely necessary, I could probably flesh out the article somewhat, but I don't really have the time. --RenniePet (talk) 23:47, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * This camera article is a stub and a placeholder for further contributions and improvements. Please note that there are many product pages on wikipedia. Cars being an example. Please flag a request for improvement rather than a flag for automatic deletion. kchanyr (talk) 18:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've listed the article for AfD. Note that WP:WAX is not a reason to keep an article. -- Mikeblas (talk) 16:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I've corrected the body description and link to call it an "MILC", or mirrorless interchangeable lens camera — it is not an "SLR". A "single lens reflex", or SLR, would imply a mirror and a prism: something for there to be a *reflex* of the light passing through the body. This camera has none. -GT. 108.181.19.44 (talk) 01:08, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Inaccurate representation of product
This statement :"The Lumix DMC-L1 was succeeded by the Lumix DMC-L10, announced in August, 2007" Is not accurate. The L10 is simply one more model in Panasonic's lineup and did not succeed the L1. The L1 is still being sold in 2008 in new production runs and street prices still run more than double for the L1. The L10 uses less expensive materials, a les expensive lens, and is marketed towards the general consumer while the L1 is designed for the pro/prosumer market. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.179.182.44 (talk) 12:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
