Hi there,

I have been using the Olympus XZ-1 for a few years now and I love the colors of jpegs it produces. I have a very good DSLR but I keep coming back to XZ-1 because of the colors and nice jpegs.

And recently I'm thinking about buying either the Olympus E-PL7 or E-PL6. there is about 25% price difference where I live so this would be important ( if they would have similar jpegs I'd probably get the PL-6) Could anyone tell me how the jpeg output looks in these two cameras? There is a different image processor but are the colors generally similar? And how would they compare to the XZ1 small CCD sensor?

thanks,

Maciek

I'd say go for E-PL6 as the 7 AFAIK only offers a wifi capability, the same sensor and image processing. Unless wifi is important to you.

I've had E-1,E-300, E-P3,E-PL6 and E-M5 and Olympus colours are very consistent - (very good) . Out of the all my cameras the E-1 photos stand out as a bit different (but in a nice way).
