Two fixed-lens compacts of almost the same weight, built on opposite ideas. Panasonic puts a bright zoom and a video specification on a 4/3-type sensor; Fujifilm puts one 35 mm equivalent lens, in-body stabilisation and 40.2 megapixels on APS-C.

Choose if: you want 24–75 mm in one camera and record video beyond 4K30: 5.6K60, 4K120 and 600 Mbps All-Intra, with a free-angle screen.
Choose if: you shoot stills at 35 mm equivalent and want the larger APS-C sensor, 40.2 megapixels and stabilisation in the body.

This is the decision that matters most. The L10's 10.9–34 mm Leica lens covers 24–75 mm equivalent and stays at f/2.8 at the long end. The X100VI has one 23 mm f/2 lens, 35 mm equivalent. If your pictures happen at one distance and one angle, the prime costs you nothing; if you want a wide interior and a tight portrait from the same camera, only the L10 gives you both without a conversion lens.
Our read: range goes to the L10, a single bright focal length in a simpler package to the X100VI.
The X100VI's APS-C sensor measures 23.5 × 15.7 mm and resolves 7,728 × 5,152 pixels. Panasonic gives the L10's sensor only as 4/3-type, without millimetres, and its 4:3 files are 5,200 × 3,904 pixels, about half the pixel count. For cropping after the fact, the X100VI has the reserve; the L10 puts its reserve in the zoom.
Stabilisation is the clearest difference on paper. The X100VI moves its sensor on five axes, rated at 6 stops. The L10 has POWER O.I.S. in the lens, which Panasonic's manual describes as 2-axis, and Panasonic publishes no stop rating for it.
Our read: for stills at slow shutter speeds, the X100VI.
The L10 is built for it: 5.6K at 59.94p and C4K/4K at 119.88p at 300 Mbps, 4K60 All-Intra at 600 Mbps in 4:2:2 10-bit, V-Log and a free-angle screen. The X100VI records 6.2K30 and 4K60 in 10-bit 4:2:2 with F-Log2. The limit on the L10 is heat: Panasonic rates continuous C4K 120p at approx. 5 minutes and C4K 60p 4:2:2 at approx. 10 minutes (23 °C, cold start, Thermal Management Standard).
Our read: the L10, for short takes at high frame rates and high bitrates.
Panasonic lists 779 phase-detection points, Fujifilm 425. For bursts, the L10 runs 30 fps with the electronic shutter and keeps 45 frames; Fujifilm quotes 20 fps for the X100VI's electronic shutter with a 1.29x crop and 17 frames of uncompressed RAW. The L10's mechanical shutter runs at 11 fps, or 9 with continuous AF.
Our read: the L10 on the published numbers.
The weights are almost the same: approx. 508 g for the L10, 521 g for the X100VI, both with battery and card. The X100VI has a hybrid optical and electronic viewfinder with a 3.69M-dot EVF and a tilting screen; the L10 has a 2.36M-dot EVF and a free-angle screen. Panasonic's manual states that the L10 is not dust resistant, splash resistant or waterproof.
For one camera that zooms and films: the Lumix L10, if you accept lens-only stabilisation, short high-frame-rate takes and no weather sealing.
For stills at one focal length: the X100VI, with the larger sensor, twice the pixels and 6-stop in-body stabilisation.
The X100VI. Its APS-C sensor measures 23.5 × 15.7 mm. Panasonic describes the L10's sensor only as 4/3-type and publishes no millimetre figure, but Four Thirds is the smaller format.
On paper the L10: 5.6K60, 4K120, 600 Mbps All-Intra and a free-angle screen against 6.2K30 and 4K60 on the X100VI. Check Panasonic's temperature limits first: approx. 5 minutes of C4K 120p and 10 minutes of C4K 60p 4:2:2 at 23 °C from a cold start.
Nearly. Approx. 508 g for the L10 and 521 g for the X100VI, both with battery and card.
