Panasonic Lumix DMC-S1
$119.00
Released January, 2011
The Pros:Remarkably compact--small and lightweight. Intelligent automatic mode works well, displays ISO and shutter speed. Intuitive menu layout is easy to pick through without consulting the manual.
The Cons:Flash is only helpful up to 2 metres. Delay between pictures, while not unbearable, can get annoying after a while. Overall poor audio performance--recorded audio is muffled and quiet, the built-in speaker is barely audible.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-S1 is a compact digital camera designed to be stylish and intelligently select the correct settings for any given situation on its own. This is similar to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3, but uses a 12.1 megapixel sensor, is limited to a 7.8x digital zoom, doesn't have automatic red-eye removal, and has only 20MB of built-in memory.
