Olympus XZ-1

The XZ-1 (10-megapixel, 4x zoom) is the flagship compact digital camera from Olympus.

It offers image quality that rivals that of entry-level DSLR cameras whilst enjoying the compact form factor of digital compacts.

The Olympus XZ-1 were presented the “Best Expert Compact Camera” at the TIPA Awards 2011 and also won the prestigious Red Dot Design award 2011.

I reviewed the camera earlier this year and was deeply impressed at the speed of the fast lens (F1.8-2.5 aperture) and the image quality.

Take a look some of the photos I snapped in the photo review that I did as part of the review.

The user interface was easy to use, yet allowed fine manual control for enthusiasts and aspiring photographers. Check out the detailed review and the main specifications I’d posted earlier.
