quality is good

Memory Card Slot Battery Compartment
no noise in the picture first or it will get worse
this 31 second movie is 105Mb in size
the picture degrades substantially to the edges of the frame
image quality dissipates considerably as you move away to the edges
XS1 does not have Wi-Fi connectivity
scaled down to 3 million pixels or lower to aid noise reduction
Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic
Does the Panasonic XS1 have Weather Sealing
Panasonic XS1 is not the highest resolution Small Sensor camera
doesn't have any connections for external microphones and headphones
Panasonic XS1 have Image Stabilization
the screen has no touch support
RAW files are not saved so the user has less margin for error
Panasonic XS1 does not have manual focus
for a landscape camera is simply not good among
lack of manual focus no manual control cannot use external flash sensor
sharpness drops off quickly as you move toward the edges
loss of detail at ISO 800 and up will be noticeable
daylight snaps that are destined for the Web
footage lacks definition and appears grainy
look for manual control over the aperture or shutter speed
the novelty of that wears off pretty quickly
some purple fringing in contrasting areas
Images become softer still at ISO 800
