Olympus XZ-1 is good fun to use. It is one of those cameras that makes you want to go out and photograph. Much has to do with its size, which is compact, yet despite its small dimensions contain also relatively easy to use manual controls. It is reminiscent of Canon PowerShot S95 and certainly the sound competition when it comes to ease of use and image quality.
Olympus XZ-1 has a 10 megapixel CCD sensor and a 4 x optical zoom with a range of 28-112 mm. It is a fast lens with a wide f/1.8 aperture, and this is even larger than the lens on the Canon PowerShot S95 (f/2.0). It makes XZ-1 used in low light situations, and in combination with built-in optical image stabilization, the camera can capture handheld shots clearly even when one as low as 1/10 shutter speed is used.We think Olympus XZ-1 is ideal for both enthusiasts and professionals who want a high quality CD on those days when they cannot (or are too lazy to) wears the old digital SLR. The manual features of the camera enables custom exposure settings to be customized. Ring around the lens can be used to manipulate opening and rotating Thumb control on the back can be used to change the shutter.There are a few things about how the control that we could change. We should set up a dedicated ISO button and we could also make it easier to change the focus modes. As it is, for changing focus modes, you need to do up to three button presses. We believe that the focus point can be changed with the press of a button, so it's not all bad.Perhaps the best with the camera Olympus XZ-1 its OLED screen. It looks vibrant and has wide viewing angles. Like most screens, it does not appear easy today brightness if you shade it, but it requires only one hand across the screen, blocking the direct sun is that it can be displayed again. What you see on the monitor is generally what will be committed to SD card, and this means that you don't have to fiddle around with settings, nor take several shots to get the look you want.In auto mode, Olympus XZ-1 has a tendency to overexpose images, but only slightly. Its overall performance in this situation is very good and that means that anyone can just this camera, pointing it, and with the help of OLED screen can capture great-looking images. In manual mode helps the camera, you know whether the image is properly exposed. The exposure meter will flash red if scene is underexposed. Just play with the aperture or shutter until the meter to zero, and you'll be right.If you want to be artistic, you can turn on the camera's mode dial to "Art" and rotate the lens ring to pick one of seven different Art positions. These modes can make images more vivid, more dramatic, softer or grainier. It can give them the dark corners and even make objects look smaller. It is one of the features that make XZ-1 so much fun to use, we had way too much fun with filter dramatic tone.When it comes to the camera's regular, non-art mode quality, it is very good. Images captured with rich colors and goodl definition. Some details are lost when the images appear with its original size, but unless you crop the photos widely, this should not be too much of a problem. Noise begins to creep at ISO 800 and is recommended to not use such high ISO with this camera. With such a wide aperture available, you should be able to get away with a lower sensitivity in most cases.Olympus XZ-1 has a built-in pop-up Flash, but it does not have an electronic viewfinder, even if there is an option for one (VF-2).It can capture Full HD video (up to seven minutes) and filters that art can also be used while shooting video. Some frames will be deleted when shooting with a filter, the arts, but it is still a major feature that can be used in short video clips. You have the possibility to zoom while shooting video and the camera focuses automatically. We found the overall video quality is very good, but the sound was not. Fortunately there is an optional stereo microphone can be connected to the hot-shoe (SEMA-1).The speed of the camera is very good. Shot to shot performance lag not noticeably while the previous image will be written to memory and burst mode capable of capturing about 2 frames per second for about nine shots before slowing down. The biggest performance hit is when you use the filter PIN holes or Diorama which slides on the screen refresh very slow.
