Long time doesn't visit this thread. looks like xz-1 users are increasing.
btw, anyone want to accessorize their xz-1? i got Macro Arm Light MAL-1 for sale. check out this thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1947468

sharing some old pictures

Hi all,

I'm just read this thread and very nice to know that XZ-1 is very impressive.

I've bought this camera about two weeks ago.

U know, I don't know about this camera until I go to store and the seller recommend me this camera.
Actually, I've been looking for Panasonic LX-5 and survey for more than two months.
Lastly, after test both of the camera at the store, I've choose XZ-1.
Actually, I've choose this camera because of the function and picture quality and the ring. WOW...

After use it for two weeks, I didn't regret at all.
I've like the ART Filter. 6 art can be use. So, no need for me to edit in photoshop.

Last week, I've added screen and lens protector but from different store.
The seller say, it can't be off unless I crowbar it.
Badly, yesterday, the screen protector is write off from the screen and I've go to the store again.

BTW, I love this camera.

What's this lens protector thingy that I keep hearing about?

Thanks.. wouldn't exactly call it street photography, more of taking random pics of random things

Looking forward towards ur shots.

Am scouting around for this camera. Anybody know the current street price?

From last page.... I think around RM1.5-1.6K kut.

found a site with mass collection of xz-1 pics,there are many many good shots and some extremely good example of putting the art filters to good use

Turbo10:
I really love the color on your "ninja at rest"

should i grab this camera? i just sold my gf1, cos didnt ultilize it at all lolz.. thinking of getting something more compact and without the fuss of changing lens. After i touch m43, i guess i am better at getting a high end compact because i seldom use those functions and manual focus at all. How does xz-1 compare to their competitors? last time i was eyeing on lx5 but in the end i bought gf1. Now i am stepping back on this region. Is there any camera that i should wait?

What do you normally shoot?

hmm, actually i am not an avid photographer, i want a camera to shot something when i go travelling, or events. Not really into street photography, perhaps shoot some foods, some interesting stuff. I am interested in XZ-1 due to the larger aperture which i don need to use flash to take low light photos.

i use it more or less the same way as yours, it should suit u nicely

okies, glad to hear that i am not a canon fan, but i was into LX5, anyone did compare the image quality with lx5? My fren bough p7000 altho i told him to have a look at xz-1, but he said xz-1 seems uncomfortable to hold lol.

I use the XZ-1 for snapshots too.

I couldn't get comfortable with the LX5 and dislike the slow zoom on the S95 (oledi have a S90) but the tipping point for me is XZ-1's very crisp and contrasty rendition compared with its rival.
