What are Panasonic Lumix DSLRs like? are they any good? What other models would you recommend. I am a amateur photography but am used to compacts. I know that lumix use leica lenses and I know these are good so thought a lumix dslr would be the best option. Are there any cameras that would be better for me?
Answer
The Lumix DSLR cameras are part of the Four Thirds system developed by Olympus, Panasonic and Kodak with other partners such as Leica participating in an effort to create a shared standard for camera hardware and electronics. The Lumix DMC L10 has gotten good reviews from Steve's Digicams -

and is compatible with the wide selection of lenses and bodies offered by Olympus and Leica. Most Olympus "glass" is of superior quality and quite comparable to Leica in image quality and quality of construction.
To see a list of cameras and lenses available for the Four Thirds system go to this site.

One of the reasons for developing the Four Thirds system was the hope of developing smaller, lighter cameras that could provide SLR quality imaging. A recent development has been the addition of the Micro Four Thirds standard which does not support DSLR cameras but does support interchangeable lenses with live view. This allows an even smaller group of lenses plus the ability to use most, if not all, Four Thirds lenses via an adapter. Panasonic has been the leader in providing cameras and lenses for this standard but Olympus is expected to release at least one model for this standard later this year.
If you want to save money now but have the ability to access the Panasonic and/or Leica models in the future you could consider some of the Olympus entry level models that sell for 25% to 50% less than the Lumix. The Olympus E-420, E-520 and E-620 have progressively more advanced feature sets that will be significantly less than the Lumix but will be fully compatible with it.

HTH. Good luck!
Emial me if you have more questions.

i need a high quality compact travel camera.
Answer
The Panasonic camera uses Leica lenses which are the best in the world. But because of the panasonic electronics, i wouldn't recommend you the Panasonic camera. If you are shooting at an ISO more than 80ISO then the pictures will be very grainy and you can see the grains even if you print small size like 6x4".
Canon at the moment is on top of the world with best electronic, CMOS sensor which is very sharp and you get more vivid colours, and it's best lenses. With its IS (Image Stabiliser) capability, you don't have to worry about camera shake while using zoom or taking pictures in the low light condition.
