Olympus latest compact, the XZ-1.

The Olympus Compact.THE XZ-1.
No ISO Auto limit selection, Max Auto limit is ISO 250.You need to charge the batt with the camera. Almost the same with LX3, XZ-1 looks sharper though will make further test surprisingly it is very easy, easier when I bought my LX3 few month ago.

It is worth considering the XZ-1. Its lens is a monster! There is none in the market right now to beat 112mm with largest f1.8 aperture lens on a compact camera.Am told that Olympus used to produce class leading compacts many years ago but have hardly forged a reputation for such compact cameras of late. The ZX1 therefore represents their renewed entry into the highly competitive world of the high end compact camera. The ZX1 will have to do battle against rivals in the form of the excellent Panasonic LX5, Canon’s proficient S95, Samsungs well received EX1.Well, you can always refer to http://www.olympusimage.com.my/products/compact/ I mean if you are interested to get one.

The build quality of Olympus XZ-1 is wonderful, nice and solid yet not heavy at all, and it’s a camera you can carry all day long without feeling tired. In the past, point and shoot cameras where nothing but a joke, fancy on the outside but when it came to delivering quality images it always fell behind traditional DSLR cameras. Well that’s all changed now with these new generation point and shoot cameras. With outstanding quality lens and excellent in-camera software, a photographer is limited only by their imagination.

I've never had an Olympus, but I borrowed it once from a friend and quite like the results.

Would love to have an Olympus Pen one day. I've read quite a bit about it and it looks good for street photography.

I see that you're into serious photography blogging now, Awang. Good for you.
