Re: Stylus 1s withdrawn :((

Elliott wrote in another thread that the 1s is not on offer by Olympus anymore.

I've looked up the Oly JP web page - it's true. On the Oly DE page it's still there.

It does look like it is no longer available , I tried a sony RX100 mk 1 and it was OK, good in low light but nowhere near as versatile as my old canon SX280 with its faster burst, faster startup, better LCD and a whopping 20x optical, a real little gem, so I returned it, I then tried a used RX10 but I can only think it must have been defective because it was nowhere near as good as the reviews suggest, really disappointing.

I bought the oly 1S (ebay) and its a gem, it is blazingly fast, great evf, really pretty good in low light, video focus is a bit suspect, its fine so long as you dont try to track distant objects, when it has focus video is great but the Canon SX280 has it beat there

But compact zooms like the Stylus 1S are a bit scares, not many to choose from, I am very glad it has a 12mp sensor as I am convinced this is why the noise is low and the IQ is so nice, later Canons have moved to small 20mp sensors and I dont like them, 12mp is plenty, I am so impressed that I am pretty sure my Nikon D5200 will go on E-Bay this weekend, I wonder why the 1S had such a short life? obviously didn't sell well I suppose....strange, I generally ignore reviews for everything bar specifications, I rarely agree with them
