What we like: Great detail and DR across the ISO range, physical shutter button and adjustment dial Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 Review | Sample gallery If you are willing to accept the drawbacks mentioned above and don't mind paying a premium price it won't be easy to find a smartphone that performs better as a stills camera. The DMC-CM1 is also noticeably bulkier than conventional smartphones and as shipped, the lens has no protection from scratching, so carrying the device in your pocket might not be ideal.Įssentially, the Panasonic CM1 is the device of choice for all those who want their smartphone to offer the looks, feel, control and image detail of a premium compact camera. Video quality is average at best and we weren't too impressed by the CM1's screen either. The lens shows some noticeable corner softness, white balance under artificial light is inconsistent and the flash produces results that can be virtually unusable. However, CM1 owners have to be willing to accept some compromises. Additionally the Raw files offer noticeably more editing leeway than those captured by cameras with smaller sensors. Its image detail and operational control is unheard of on more conventional smartphone cameras and the ISO range up to 25,600 allows for more flexibility when shooting in low light.

The cameras of the latter don't usually have zoom lenses or xenon flashes but image sensor technology has been rapidly improving and clever software processing helps rival, and in some cases even surpass, image quality of dedicated cameras. In many users' pockets consumer-level digital compact cameras have been replaced by smartphones.
