It's that time of year again -- the gadgets of CES (http://www.engadget.com/tag/ces2013/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) are finally starting to march into stores. Today's newest catalog item comes from Panasonic in the form of the 16.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-XS1 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/panasonic-grows-its-lumix-line/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) compact. Equipped with a 24mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens, this $200 point-and-shoot is aimed at people looking to move beyond the hazy world of cellphone photography. Unlike some high-end smartphone (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/24/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) cameras the DMC-XS1's 1/2.33-inch CCD sensor is limited to 720p video capture at 30 fps. So, it likely won't win over the hardcore paparazzo, but this compact's 10 flashy design options may manage to score some points with fledging shutterbugs.
