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..- Easy To Use
- Fast/accurate auto-focus
- Good Image Quality
- Good Image Stabilization
- Small / Compact
- Lag / Shutter Delay

Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1 review
With compact cameras often too big to be pocketable, and smartphone sensor and lens technology still limited, Callum McInerney-Riley asks whether the Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1 strikes a happy medium. Read the Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS1 review...
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...

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 ...- Ultra-slim design
- 5x zoom lens
- 24mm wide-angle coverage
- Reasonable shutter lag
- Inexpensive
- Lens could be sharper
- Images suffer at high ISOs
- Slow to start and shoot
- Low-resolution LCD
- Lacks Wi-Fi
- In-camera battery charging

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.
