Yes, good point.  Hard to have a 0x optical zoom.  :)So in the XZ-10 case, it's 26mm (wide angle) @ 1x and 130mm @ 5x maximum zoom. Funny, I'm curious to go check the XZ-10 now because I swore they...

Sure, I should be able to get those for you. For the XZ-10, I'm not sure what you mean by "wide angle" -- as WA and Normal are the same.  There's just an optical zoom of 5x. So, a chart would be...

Sean, in truth, I'm already liking the XZ-10.  I haven't seen anything (in IQ) that would make me not recommend one.  It's a fun, tiny camera.  I think the size will be a huge factor in this...

I was so quick to post these, I didn't even realize the XZ-10 image was using 3200 ISO.  Wow.  That was in AUTO mode too.  Kind of interesting the differences between the XZ-2 and XZ-10 with...

Sure this won't be a problem.  The weather looks to be good for the weekend -- it's been terrible this past week -- so will definitely get more pictures.

Yes, I the AF is fine -- it's probably just a fraction slower than the XZ-2.  I usually use AUTO with S-AF and so when I first reported the AF seemed slower, I had forgotten to set it up with my...

Did a quick low-light test.  I'm not sure how the XZ-2 managed ISO 400 but it took forever to get a clean shot.  Not sure why but it was very difficult to get a focused shot on the XZ-2.  The XZ-10...

Interesting.  IMHO, with NR OFF on the XZ-10 the samples look worse.  The XZ-2 however, I don't see much difference.  At least, not nearly as much as the XZ-10.

Yep Jim, I agree.  The higher detail is there on the XZ-2 but only if you really look for it.  Promise to get some better subject matter this weekend.  Looks like we have a nice weekend in store...

I will reproduce the same shots with the NR off today.  I'll update the thread later tonight.

Yep, the NR settings are OFF, Low, Standard, High (if I recall from memory.)

Yep it comes with the XZ-10.http://olympus-imaging.jp/product/software/olympus_viewer3/index.html(Use Chrome to translate)

Okay here are three samples.  These were taken in somewhat of a hurry so they weren't staged well.  The subject matter isn't great either.  Will get better captures later this weekend when I get...

Physical Comparison:(XZ-10, XZ-2, E-PL1)

Hi All,I received my new XZ-10 this morning.  It is indeed very small.  It's the perfect size for a pocket camera. Its rubber grip has a sticky feel to it -- which is reassuring for a solid grip....

Have you tried using the updater software?The JP Olympus site claims that version 1.1 was released on 12/18/2012Fixes:I fixed the image processing ISO bracket shooting.

Sample from the Olympus JP site:http://olympus-imaging.jp/product/compact/xz10/sample/images/xz10_sample01.jpghttp://olympus-imaging.jp/product/compact/xz10/sample/images/xz10_sample02.jpgThis 2nd...

Interesting.  My white XZ-2 has firmware version 1.1 installed.  What site are you referring to?  The UK site doesn't even show a XZ-2 support page as yet.

Out of curiosity what firmware version do your cameras have that reproduce the problem?

Very nice pictures!  Just love that pool shot.  Wish I was there now.  Cold and rainy here.  :(
