Just got my XZ-1

2 years warranty
1 spare battery (It looks original)
8GB SDcard
Olympus Camera Pouch
1 pillow
1 unbrella
No extra charge on flexi payment

RM1750 during the fotokem fair in PWTC.

Overall impression :
Good:
-Easy to use little camera. I can take it out from drybox then shoot some used item to put on sale. No need to assemple the dslr and lens.
-Good output at night due to the F1.8 aperture.
-Got raw to process.
-Light enough to bring to hiking.
- focusing speed is good enough for a P&S.

Bad:
- Cannot use UV filter.
- The lens will always pop the lens cap out.
- Max usable iso for me is 400, I wish it can go higher.
- The lens or LCD not that good... when shooting scene with bright background light got white line across the screen, is this flare?
- Have to put battery in the camera body to charge, very toublesome coz I have 2 batteries.

2 years warranty?? I saw most people selling with only 1 year warranty?

Btw, i saw most prices around RM1.6K with no freebies...knows where to get cheapest around PJ?
*
2 year warranty = more expensive lor. My buying pricing is more expensive than most other price posted here.

Ok, guys, can me to the list of Owners liao.

Bought a white XZ-1 just now.

Charging battery now....

First impression....the most useless piece of junk user manual i have ever seen in my life. For such a high end camera, all it says was how to charge battery, power on, use auto mode, take picture and take video. That's it!!!! doh.gif doh.gif...Really kedekut...dun wanna print a few pages more....doh.gif

Right now i am reading downloaded user manual....

And yeah, i also saw the white flare or something when pointing at bright lights. Is this normal? But when photo came out, no such thing??? rclxub.gif

I see the same thing with my friend's P&S too so I guess its normal.

anyone here had try using XZ-1 with FL-36R flash? is the flash is good?
i'm thinking of getting the flash for off-camera shot.

I use my XZ1 with FL36 on hotshoe, no problem.
I will use 3rd party trigger to trigger remote flash and strobes. TTL will not be available.

The FL36R version I'm not sure. Will test and report back later.
