Weird,i tried S95 the other day,since i've heard that people say while in recording mode cannot zoom worh.
But i tried it works well up to 4X too. I tried Olympus XZ-1 also Hmm seems too big for one palm to take while S95 vry convenient. My friend now making decision want to get S95 or XZ-1 |

If video is important... then get either the S95 or the LX5. XZ-1 video mode is super cacat wan.

My friend now making decision want to get S95 or XZ-1 get the s95 if size does matter most to him,get xz-1 if creativity in photography matter most to him |

Just found this interesting bit on how to check shutter and flash count on the XZ-1
QUOTE Basically the process goes: 1.) Hold the Menu button while turning the camera On 2.) Hit Menu and enter the display brightness setup. (Located under the Wrench. It looks like a TV) You should now see the brightness adjustment bar on the right. 3.) Hold the Info button while pressing Ok You should now see a black Olympus Screen 3.) Hit (in order) Up, Down, Left, Right, Shutter, Up 4.) Hit Right to see your shutter count R is the shutter count. S is the flash count. There's different info on each of the directions although I don't know if they mean anything useful for the XZ-1. Just turn the camera off when you're done. all credits to original poster http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp...essage=37910287 |

anyone knows whether wide-converter is compatible with xz-1?
Added on August 15, 2011, 3:39 pmThis shop from HK is selling in an amazing price with exclusively complete accessories. I'm attracted but I wonder about the reliability. :S http://cgi.ebay.com.my/Olympus-XZ-1-F1-8-1...=item1e63b44a1c Oh by the way I think local shops selling from RM1399+ with some basic accessories though. Struggling to decide where to buy This post has been edited by Ryou: Aug 15 2011, 03:39 PM |
