Re: Underated by photo geeks

I have to agree aswell.

I have the camera for a bit more than 3 weeks now and really like it, especially for the great price (149.90€) which I paid for.

I wasn't sure of it's performance until I got it beause of all the mixe reviews and most of samples shown in the reviews were done with NR turned on which completely destroys the PQ but once you turn the NR off the images become way more detailed and clean.

XZ-10 is a very underrated and overlooked camera and imo beats cameras like S95, S120, P330 P340, LF1 and similar. I did compare it directly to S95 and P340 for several days so I'm not just making stuff up.

It's bright lense makes the camera perform much better indoors than most of other compact cameras in this size and also has a very good detail in portrait while it's just as good for landscape as the cameras mentioned before.

I don't know what's Olympus trick but their cameras are really good for portrait, for example Stylus 1 looks amazing for portrait and this little camera is not even that far behind.

Big thumbs up for Olympus, I really hope they will make a successor with a 1/1.7 sensor with a bit better video, some more features like sweep panorama, improved touchscreen with multi touch capabilities and wouldn't mind if the rest like lens width, aparture, zoom and size stay the same.
