Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1

Five Stars

very good camera.....very handy..fast...

The basics The Panasonic Lumix XS1 is the cheapest in our camera round-up of shooters under £100, but it's still got some decent features packed in. You'll find it toting a 16.1-megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom and 720p video recording and even a bunch of filters to rival Instagram, but can it take...

Actually I thought it was time to get a good mobile phone with a good camera. But even expensive mobiles have a really tiny lens with fixed focal length. I do not like that. At the end I decided to get an inexpensive and rather small mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy Young 2) and a compact camera as...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1 ($129.99) is a shockingly slim pocket shooter with a 16-megapixel CCD image sensor and a 5x zoom lens. Its size alone will turn heads, and even though its image quality isn't at the same level as bulkier cameras , it does a fine job when in daylight.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1 Review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1 earns points for its amazingly slim design and low cost, but it's not the best pocket camera out there. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1 ($129.99) is a shockingly slim pocket shooter with a 16-megapixel CCD image sensor and a 5x zoom lens. Its size alone will turn heads, and even though its image quality isn't at the same level as bulkier cameras, it does a fine job when in daylight. But it suffers when the light gets low, and there's no Wi-Fi, so sharing selfies captured with its wide-angle lens will have to wait until you've copied them over to your computer. We prefer another inexpensive compact, our Editors' Choice Canon PowerShot Elph 330 HS( at Amazon), which has a CMOS image sensor that does better in low light and offers Wi-Fi functionality. But the XS1 sells for less than its asking price, and if you're looking for an inexpensive snapshot camera it is a viable option. Design and Features The XS1( at Amazon) isn't the smallest point-and-shoot I've handled, but it's not far off. It measures 2.1 by 3.7 by 0.7 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.1 ounces. The Nikon S01($199.95 at Amazon) is ...
