I saw the little purple jewel yesterday in television Berlet in Hohenlimburg, and although I'm already equipped with three high-quality digital Knippsomaten, I bought the baby on the spot. Just because I'm such a slob, so a real "minimum nerd" who always as little as possible luggage and especially wants to simpler walks in town and forest with rumschleppen.
Of course, I continue to take my main cameras Lumix LX 1 and Nikon S9100 with my long mountain tours. But the new XS-1 is now wherever you go.
If there were not, I would have to invent it, this little metallic-violet pixel Wollmilchsau ...
Panasonic: Thank you, for this quality piece of engineering, which is a small milestone for me in terms of "functional design".
* Supplement for image quality: It is recommended that with very detailed designs also the pixel reduced setting "4: 3, 5M" try (second photo); This reduces the risk of getting pixels mud in low light. Of course, 14 megapixels for a derat small object useless but overall the picture quality is good and useful; not every image succeed right away, but summasumarum provides the Flask, what you want from him.
Anyone who thinks that the pictures taken but were rather poor, should they even look at his definition televisions - you will be amazed, because only HD technology shows what's inside of sharpness really in today's chips the Mini-clippers.
