Reception

Photographyblog.com said the X-S1 is a "superzoom camera that can boast similar responsiveness to a DSLR",^[3] while DigitalCameraInfo.com stated, "build quality, handling, and user experience are the best that we’ve seen in a superzoom".^[4] However, both reviews also noted that there was a lack of sharpness in the resulting images, due to the lens being of inferior quality.
