Unboxing of Panasonic Lumix DMC XS1 (White & Silver)

[@RyanaciousLoh]

well.. mind if i ask how is the battery last, and the quality of pic? (example in condition where have low light, back light, and hand shake)

Hi, the battery seems OK. If I'm out taking pics I have it on a lot and it doesn't run out. Prob about 1-2 hours for it to drop one bar (although see my last comment on the auto shut-off setting). It copes well in all light conditions. I tend not to use the flash unless I need to. I think it has optical stablization so haven't noticed any issues with hand shake. Hope that helps!

Hi, sorry just realised I was telling you about my other camera (Canon IXUS 265 HS) not the Panasonic Lumix DMC XS1. Apologies! I actually replaced the Lumix for the Canon 'cos I wasn't that impressed with the results. If you get it cheap enough it would be fine. Battery seems OK and the flash is good but I thought the detail, resolution and colours were poor. Cheers :)

I was considering lumix G6 (the interchangeable lens series) and xs1 caught my eyes when browsing the catalog, Anyhow, appreciate your honesty, i more toward picture quality. what is your recommendation if i tend to take good quality picture but dislike carry bulky DSLR size and weight?

[@littlemissyce]

My other cameras are the Canon 1000D (doesn't have video tho) and Panasonic Lumix GF2. I got the Canon IUX 265 HS for a more portable/compact size but still with good quality pics. I've heard good things about the Sony RX100 II as an alternative to a DSLR but I've not tried it myself. Good luck with your search!
