EPL-2 and XZ-1


XZ-1 is a direct competition to S95 and LX5 just hope the price is very good
 

sorry for off-topic'ing a bit..

does anyone know wat kindas bulb is being used for the macro light?
cheapo sim-lim-tower type or 5w cree's or..?
havent found anything abt that..
 

S95 is not in the same league...
Certainly from the lens specs, its way ahead of S95. max aperture of 4.9 on S95 on longest end of 105mm, vs Oly's 2.5 on 112. Almost 2 stops, i'm keen on this baby. & it has white color:heart:

wonder how is the macro capabilities?

is it becoz S95 DNA is more like IXUS than Powershot?
looks like u are poisoned:bsmilie:


new pics from david chua's site:

IQ is awesome! and Oly colurs! :thumbsup:

wow, pretty good i must say. at first, thot it's just another hi end compact, but the IQ looks good even at 1600. maybe still early to say must see more pics then know. tks for sharing!

Yes bro and it's your fault you send me the XZ-1 link... hehe

I think its love at 1st sight :heart::lovegrin: I hope the price is reasonable
 

a mini-review from david chua of a pre-prod model

http://www.davidchuaphotography.com/2011/01/06/olympus-xz-1-review-part-1/
Even before going into details… I CAN’T WAIT to TELL YOU that: “Finally I have found a compact digital which can give me ABSOLUTELY CLEAN ISO1600 file, and at F1.8, focusing at night IS FASTER than the Olympus PEN E-PL2 with it’s NEW 14-42mm mk2 lens! In fact, there were situations when the PEN could not achieve focus and the XZ-1 DID at the snap of fingers!!!”

i hope he doesnt mind me posting his stuff here :D

The poison is attacking your nerve system and neuro function. Do you need an antidote? :bsmilie:
 

looks pretty clean, except the dof is not really there, but can't ask too much from a small sensor:bsmilie:

for everyday/casual use, I'm actually fine with LX5's DOF. so i think I'll be good with XZ-1's also considering the f1.8-2.5 range

you know me bro even I jump to the other camp I still love Oly. I was chatting with WongLP about me planning to buy a small compact from everyday use when not carrying the bulky dslr and he shown me this =) :heart::heart: I initially lookng at LX3/5 and S90/5 then this baby show up... oh yeah!

but the dilema is if this is price close to EPL1/2 lols
 

Anyone know when will the XZ1 be selling in sin.? Need a camera for japan trip on feb. :)
I read the spec it says can only take max 7min HD video, did I read wrongly?

EPL2 with kit lens is US599 ??? that is about SGD780. Street price could be SGD700 ? that is cheap.
and I guess XZ1 around SGD600.

B&H price for XZ-1 is 499.95 USD

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/749909-REG/Olympus_228000_XZ_1_Digital_Camera.html

looks like XZ-1 is 100bucks more expenssive than LX5 =399.95USD.

Very interesting prices! Makes me seat up and take notice again! :bigeyes:
Hope it is available in Singapore by next month.
