The New Digital Camera on the Street - the Olympus XZ-1

By Fernando Reyes


The Olympus XZ-1 Digital Camera was released in 2011, but there were stories and press releases about it long before that. Olympus, which has quite a good reputation in the camera market, was quite successful at getting the photography world interested in this new, supposedly cutting edge digital camera. Now that it is finally here and available to everyone, we can take a close look at it and decide how good it really is.

of settings. Greater control is gained when using some of the more atypical modes on the XZ-1 in addition to the more familiar landscape, portrait, and sport modes. You can combine two images into one photo using Multi Exposure. All of this can be created using the XZ-1 camera while others would have to use programs such as Photoshop. You can use e-Portrait to fix problems such as blemishes or problem skin after you have taken a picture. The pictures you take with the XZ-1 appear fantastic when compared with the real thing!

One of the things that makes the XZ-1 so convenient is its size. It's definitely a compact camera that fits easily into your hand. This makes it easy to carry around with you no matter where you may want to take some pictures. On the other hand, it's not a mini camera either; it's not so tiny that you can just put it into your pocket and forget about it. Many users find this to be the ideal size, as a camera that's too small can be difficult to grip and point -which is one reason it's hard to take great photos with a phone. Palm phones in particular.

This camera also comes with a neck strap so you can carry it conveniently without losing it.

While the XZ-1 presents you with everything necessary to take premium photos, there are some accessories in particular that you might wish to have, depending on the way you plan to operate your camera. There is an accessory port that lets you hook up peripherals that work with this camera. For illustrative purposes, you can plug in either an electronic viewfinder or a microphone adapter.

There are also more unusual accessories you might want to consider. If you like to film underwater, for instance, you could buy an underwater case made specifically for the XZ-1 that will make it completely waterproof. The XZ-1 is actually capable of shooting quality photos underwater, as it has Underwater White Balance. However, you'll need the Underwater Case in order to make use of this feature.

As mentioned above, the Olympus XZ-1 comes with a notable lineup of features. You will be able to shoot great images no matter what the setting. When you consider the speed of the lens coupled with the small size of the XZ-1, you have before you a cutting-edge camera system. Be that as it may, it's still priced higher than a lot of beginning photographers may want to pay. The Olympus XZ-1 is a great camera jam-packed with user-friendly features. Do your homework and make your comparisons and then you can decide intelligently if you are ready for this level of camera.
