In terms of the image quality, the 13-meg shooter on the Panasonic P81 results in below average images. The details are missing and colours seem oversaturated. We found HDR mode to be quite ineffective and automatic white balance was also off the mark indoors. Also, like many smartphone snappers, it fails in low-light conditions with pictures turning out to be quite grainy.
Compared to its peers, the camera seems to be average. If you’re wondering whether or not it will be able to compete with others in terms of other features, capabilities, usability and overall performance, we’ll be coming up with an in-depth review of the Panasonic P81 soon.
