Smaller than a pack of cigarettes

I have big hands and long fingers, so I was a little concerned with awkwardness of a camera this small. So far, not a problem. Easy to use, fairly easy to program ... my only complaint so far is the lag time seems a bit long ..Plus, all the directions were on a DVD..
Pros:
  • Easy To Use
  • Fast/accurate auto-focus
  • Good Image Quality
  • Good Image Stabilization
  • Small / Compact
Cons:
  • Lag / Shutter Delay

Panasonic Lumix Ultra slim DMCXS1K

I had this camera for nearly 2 weeks. The main reason for choosing this camera is because the flash and sensor point is NOT at the corner where my finger(s) could accidently cover it. Other "bonus" points are a 24mm wide angle and F2.8.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1

From the outside, the most noticeable thing about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1 is its thinness. It's only 17.6mm deep which is very thin for the 5x optical zoom lens to fit into. This is down to some innovative Panasonic technology that has made the lens thinner.

Fun for some

Don't expect too much in the way of picture quality but the menu is a dream to use, it's light, slim, cheap and the panorama function works well. It's a fun thing !

Nice Camera, But Poor Screen

This tiny camera takes very good pictures for its size and is easy to use - BUT - make sure you can live with the poor screen. It can only be seen properly when viewed slightly from below, so has to be held above eye level when taking a picture.
