contrasty..actually that is what lacks in cameras these days..but one can always apply it on pp..that's the big diff when i shoot with FF and crop..the colors from the crop aint that good

good to hear that, maybe i'll try it at a shop someday. compacts are easier to lug around thats wat i love about em

Welcome to the kucimiao sensor club   

U lah sifu. Looking forward to see your virgin shoot with kucimiao but powderful compact 

hey guys...need some advice. am struggling to capture decent shots under dim lighting / night shots.

after much experimenting & reading on aperture/shutter speed, i finally got some decent night shots with these settings:

Av Mode
ISO 100
Exposure +1
No flash

The photo becomes SO DARK when i use the external pop up flash. Any idea why? I expected it to be dark, cause i've been making myself see the histogram.

Tried M mode for night shots (thought having a control over shutter speed would be good), but i've not idea why the exposure (?) is automatically -2, which makes my photos extremely dark.

I've no basics in photography, but would love to learn cause i've seen really sharp photos taken with xz-1. Under dim lighting my photos are blur and just horrible without using full flash.

hey guys i just recently lost this camera, i bought it last year. My question is, is there any latest update for this camera like the xz-2? I went to olympus site and i only found xz-1. should i buy back this camera or is there any new camera that is better than this with the same price? i think i bought it for 1.5k(with extra batt), what is the price now?

i'm curious to know why wouldn't you want another xz1? what is the reason if i may ask?

Hi, i got a question for xz-1 users ^^. do u use a lens protect with ur camera? and how much u got it for? why are they so expensive? 
The prices i got for the lens protect is rm89-99 

Thats cos we benchmark it against our dslr's
The G1X also has its quirks like its AF and MFD .. And the RX100 is a sony
For me.. The xz-1 main weakness is the jpeg smear and the joke of a video mode

Definitely RX100 more powderful... I think its fair (based on Nikon 1) to expect at least 2 stops better performance. Color depth and dynamic range also so be better.

Problem is... XZ1 is selling for NT9500 (taiwan dollar) now and RX100 is expected to sell at NT21000 which is more expensive than Nikon V1, NEX-F3, GX1 kit (or even with the 20mm) let alone all the GF's and PEN's.

In this sense... It's pretty expensive for a compact.

Paid NTD900 for it. Definately worth it... autocap and franiec grip is a must di.

Though recently.... Panny GX1 is beckoning me   

if e-pm1 fit with a pancake lens then it will be pocketable. tried before handling not top notch but with 14-42mm lens it's quite easy to be hold on my big hands.

Since its sensor is way larger I thought it's easier to create bokeh effect & possibly cleaner pics at higher iso.

just wonder if video capacibities should put in consideration as well, I heard xz-1 video not as good as claimed.

sony rx 100 leh?
