Excellent Choice

I bought the Olympus XZ-2 after an exhaustive comparison between 4 cameras.
The XZ-2, Canon G15, Sony XR100, Nikon P7700.

I chose the XZ-2 because it has excellent color rendition. More accurate than any of the others I tested.
The resolution and lens sharpness is excellent for a point and shoot.
The menu system is well thought out.
The build quality is great.

The Nikon P7700 and the Sony RX100 were close contenders.
But ultimately I felt the quality of images (flesh tones in particular) were most pleasing from the Olympus.
