Editorial note

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 stands out for its exceptional image quality thanks to its 20.1 MP sensor and 1-inch sensor size, allowing for precise detail capture and remarkably clear photos. The multiple focus options, including multi-point autofocus and tracking, provide appreciated usability flexibility. Additionally, the 4K Ultra HD video resolution enhances the visual experience, and the advanced connectivity with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi facilitates quick transfer of photos and videos. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The lack of image stabilization may affect the sharpness of photos and videos, particularly in motion or low-light conditions. The optical zoom limited to 2x may restrict the creativity of users wanting to capture distant details. Furthermore, the 4.7-inch screen may seem small to some, and manual focus, while precise, can pose challenges for beginners. Finally, the internal memory of only 16 GB may be insufficient for storing numerous photos and videos, necessitating the purchase of additional memory cards. In terms of performance, the image quality is remarkable, with a score of 85, while the user experience is rated satisfactory with a score of 78, although manual focus may be a challenge for some. The battery life is decent but could be improved, receiving a score of 70. The modern and lightweight design of the product earns a score of 80, while its varied features, rated at 90, make it an interesting choice. Finally, the value for money is considered good with a score of 75, although users should consider additional expenses for increased memory. Overall, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 is a compact camera offering excellent performance and features, but it requires particular attention regarding certain technical and practical aspects.
