Re: It really does

The thing is the XZ-1 has an appreciably larger sensor so should do better. The super zooms are designed to crop with the lens which will give better results with these large magnifications.

I do wish as you do that the noise is left in but but I do wonder if smearing at 100% may actually improve the image at normal viewing which satisfies the ordinary user. There may be a method to what seems to be madness to the enthusiast world examining things under the microscope.

The Olympus seems to perform pretty well and Kevin's images are nice to look at.

My only complaint, not specific to this camera only, is the noise reduction issue because I often crop in pretty close and I can deal with noise but not smearing. I returned an SH-50 because of this. I was torn, very pleased with the photo quality but for the way I often use a camera, what I need is something that is not smearing the trees and grass at 100% so I can crop as little or as much as I want. The xz-2 does a great job and even the xz-1. So I know Oly is capable of doing it. The LX7, the G6, the Coolpix 7100, to some extent the FZ35, and all my DSLRs, but a pocket zoomer like the SH-50 is really what I need at times. I did not mean to demean the photo quality in any way. It takes great photos overall as does the SH-50.
