Already bought one white colour..gonna pick up this evening. I was sooo close on buying an S95 (my last dead camera was a canon a710is but lastly read a lot of review and fell in love with oly xz-1. even more i got an ancient external flash so i can use the hot shoe. i saw reviews complaining about the noise in the iso 400+ and bad jpeg from the camera..but it's not a big deal as most probably i will rarely needs to use full scale printing..and RAW PP also helps a lot..some more I read about u guys findings to reduce the AF hunting in video recording..that's a relief..so made up my mind and bought it yesterday..

yes..correct..and hoping for that..when I was with my beloved RIP canon I use it with CHDK, canon firmware hack, unlocking canon PNS capabilities such as optical zoom during video recording, RAW (from a normal PNS), live histograms etc..from there i learned to PP raw eventho not as advance as DSLR like output. I used RAWTherapy. Kalau la ada CHDK for XZ-1 hehe..Canon S95 is a great camera but I just want to explore new brand. actually S95 - 1 XZ-1 - 1, both have their own highs and lows..but F1.8 - F2.5 me..

nice one..where u bought it bro...care to share?

I got mine for 1599 in sungai petani..for sure more expensive than KL price but I got 8gb SD card, casing and tripod..but my olympus casing not arrive yet so they gave me panasonic one first then will replace it after stock arrive. so far I love it with the performance..there are significant smearing if crop 100% but important and good pics will always go to the Lightroom..

yes...same here..the ori one cost rm120

this is my first test shot, hand held at home, i have unsteady hand and pretty obvious...hehe, a bit of PP trying to play with Raw Therapee, moderate noise reduction, sharpen and WB..for me it's nothing to shout about but just wanna share..don't have time yet too really use this baby though..CC are welcomed..need improvement and learn from you all..

guys, any remote shutter for XZ-1? any compatible model can be used?

hehe...i saw in lensmate got one quite cheap..but i always use that 2 sec timer for macro+tripod..unfortunately no good results yet..poor skill in macro.. (and others)

U shot that with XZ-1? amazing! are you sure it's your first timer shooting fireworks? hehe

bro sniper..IQ wise i cant differentiate much la but 550d better sharpness, xz-1 comes close second and s90 the last..and S90 color a bit warmer than 550d and xz-1, xz-1 shot seems a bit brighter from others..(from my notebook monitor point of view)..please correct me..thanks for snapping this comparison shot.
