Looks like i'll be sticking to he xz1... Spent all my money on other toys di

Buy online lo.

I got mine here... it's the second time I bought from there. Took about 2 weeks to arrive from US to Taiwan.

Yes, the silver limited edition comes with the lenscap.

Probably use LX7 sensor..... again.

I think the XZ-2's just gone fat.

That's about it.

Never heard of such a problem but could it the aperture blade being stuck?

Yeah.. macro is definitely one of the XZ-1's strong points.

From first glance... I thought you shot someone's backside

Now on rx100 most of the time. Bad back means i'm reluctant to bring out the dslr too. Using the xz1 for macros though

Not normal.

Long long time ago liao..

Exif should be intact.

I suggest going through the basics of exposure especially about Exposure Triangle... it's the ABC's of photography.

The link below is one of the easiest to comprehend imo

Regarding your other questions.

1)I still get oily face even I reduce the flash intensity
2)I still see flash light reflection in the retina

While they work to a certain extent, clip on plastic diffusers are really too small on an already weak pop up flash to get an even soft lighting.

Alternatively you can time your shots or place your subjects in lighted areas.

3)The object is plausible expose but the back ground suffer under expose.

Flash photography is actually 2 exposures (again read up the the link).. the simple terms.. your camera's exposure setting exposes the background and camera flash will put out just enough light to expose for the subject (what you have on your AF box). Flash exposure compensation controls whether you want to over or under expose your subject

Furthermore, it's not feasible for a flash let alone the build-in one to light up the whole room. That's why wedding photogs have big powerful flash with big diffusers.

4)The color saturation is a bit dull, I set WB auto and this could be the reason, if I adjust the WB in oly software to shadow( the cloud icon), the color is better, should I set this setting on camera if I need to snap indoor pic everything?
5)I still need to do some post processing…

Mixed lighting is horrid for everyone. I've not used oly software for ages so can't comment on that. Generally you would wanna stay away from the preset WB icons. I'm too lazy to set WB before shooting but for for post processing, one way is to start with picking the color balance from something like the white of your subject's eyes and then make small adjustments to the balance and temp.

Hope that helps.

Better stick with ttl if ur new

XZ1 still has the better lens. Too bad the sensor sucks.

Oh.. and speaking about that, I missed the super macro of the Oly. Have to resort to cropping on the RX100.

ps: Thanks for the amcorp headsup. I found what I wanted.

Time to get a rx100

Yeah. Although I've sold my XZ-1 but really miss the "look" of the photos.

With smartphone capability these days.. Anything under a 1" sensor doesn't really make sense.

You strobist ma... different story la

For the average joes who doesn't use flashes or need beefier raw files, there's not too much difference between a 1/2.3" sensor phone and a 1/1.7" sensor camera especially if he or she have to fork out $$$ for the camera.

I hardly even bring my RX100 out these days unless its a night out and I don't want to carry a bag for my fuji.

Now that you reminded me... that's one thing I didn't like about Olympus. The blue

Then again, its never all about image quality. My wife takes so many photos of the kids and food with her phone that she's gotten a lot better in composition. Better than what I could come out with.... so that's never a bad thing.
