Pocket-Lint: With the ranks of high performance compact cameras swelling by the week, Olympus has come late to the party with its own 10 megapixel, 4x optical zoom XZ-1. Already enjoying the sausage rolls and Vimto are the very similar PowerShot S95 from Canon, Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-LX5, Samsung EX1 and new Nikon Coolpix P300, with Fujifilm’s FinePix X100 on its way in a taxi from slightly left-field.
Pocket-Lint: he brand new Olympus XZ-1 is a top-spec compact camera – the very first Olympus model to offer such a high standard in a small package, and looking to compete with the likes of the Canon PowerShot S95 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5. Developed by the same team that heads up the Olympus PEN range, the XZ1 crams a whole host of pro features in.
Pocket-Lint: The launch of the Olympus XZ-1 high end point and shoot camera at CES 2011 brings yet another contender into what has become a very exciting genre of device for both enthusiasts and beginners alike. We’ve already had our review team give the Canon PowerShot S95 the one, twice, thrice over back when it came out and, like the man from Del Monte, we gave it a big yes. So, how do we think it’s going to compare to the Olympus?
