Digital Camera Review

Control Options


Picture Quality / Size Options (8.25)
The GX-1S's four image resolutions are 6 megapixels, 4 megapixels and 1.5 megapixels. 4 is good for snapshots, and 1.5 is good for computer screens – emails, the web and PowerPoint, for example. The GX-1S shoots RAW format at full resolution and also offers three JPEG compression levels: Super Fine, Fine, and Normal. Fine files are about half the size of Super Fine files, and Normal is 1/3 to 1/4 the size of Super Fine. We recommend sticking with Super Fine for all uses, as the higher compression levels really damage image quality.

Picture Effects Mode (6.25)
The GX-1S offers two sets of adjustments: shooting adjustments, including sharpness, contrast and saturation; and post-processing "filters" which alter existing images to create black-and-white, sepia, softened, or distorted copies.

The shooting options have a significant, and generally negative, effect on images. Users who want to adjust color and sharpness will get much better results shooting RAW or, to a lesser extent, JPEG, with Image Tone set to "Natural" rather than "Bright" so the images can be edited on a computer.

    Nikon D5100

    The D5100 is the latest entry-level DSLR from Nikon, with full 1080/30p video, an articulated LCD, and the same image sensor as the D7000. It lacks an internal focus motor, but we found it produced some of the most accurate colors we've seen yet. Read full 7-part review
