Have fallen in love with picture taking again, thanks to the Olympus xz-1
3 of 3 found this helpful Not really being up to date with a lot of the clever technical features these modern cameras have I focused on lens quality and after much debate I picked the xz-1 - the speed of this lens is phenomenal, the quality of the pictures is outstanding and having used it for about a month now and convinced I made the right choice... and not just because of the lens but also the nifty art modes that give it a fantastic edge over my much older Nikon DSLR. The relatively small zoom doesn't bother me as much as I thought it might, am not really bothered by the less than brilliant video mode (I have a separate digital video camera for that anyway) and the only niggle is the manual lens cover, which I have replaced with a screw on automatic cover...
I paid around £220 on ebay and reckon I've got a bargin - technology comes and goes but by getting the basics right - the lens, good build quality, sensor size, availability of lots of screen info (as you might in an DSLR) and RAW as well as JPEG capture, you end up with a product that will survive its basic technological redundancy (which these days seems to come around every year or so).
I'm not a gifted photographer and not a technical geek who knows alot about tweeking photos but this camera does make me want to go out and experiment, to think about the scenes I see around me everyday and just enjoy having a camera that will do a fantastic job.
I carry it with me in the car at all times and after a few doubts (basically - working out how to use it properly) love this camera as much as I did my first compact (ironically, another Olympus, the Olympus Trip 35).

lightweight and built in flash
2 of 3 found this helpful It's lighter and smaller than the GX8, and has a built in flash - which the GX8 doesn't have - and, though it's an improvement on the older GX7, I still prefer the GX8, which is easier to use and has features that are immediately to hand (such as EV adjustment). The eyepiece doesn't move (unlike the GX7 and 8), and the screen only tilts up and down, which again has an affect on it's ease of use. On the other hand, it's smaller size, especially when combined with a pancake lens, makes it beautifully compact, and handy if you want to take candid photographs.
