This week, Mike and I 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 we 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 mine and Mike's top picks? And are budget lenses actually ever any good?

We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the show, along with any questions or troubleshooting queries you might have, so please get in touch with us at bokehface@futurenet.com. We hope you enjoy the episode!
