In terms of performance, the Stylus 1 is comparable to a professional camera at a convenient, easy-to-carry size in spite of its 10.7x zoom lens. With its classic black hue and intelligently arranged control elements, the camera is equally attractive to both highly skilled photographers and entry-level users. The tilting touchscreen, control ring and zoom lever can all be comfortably adjusted with the left hand, while the right hand firmly holds the camera body and operates the shutter release thanks to an ergonomic, anti-slip grip.
Statement by the Jury
This coherently designed compact camera leaves nothing to be desired with regard to technical equipment, operation and design.
