The XZ-1 can also capture 720p HD video at 30 frames per second maximum. The Olympus XZ-1's 10-megapixel CCD sensor is designed for low light, with a larger 1/1.63" size, and its TruePic V image processor is said to keep colors real while processing out sensor noise. OLED should also offer a wider viewing angle than most LCDs. Olympus says the OLED "reproduces colors and shades more accurately with deeper black tones," while using less power than an LCD. Its optics aren't the only story with the Olympus XZ-1, however: it also has a 3-inch OLED display with 610,000 dots. Though early literature dating back to photokina 2010 referred to the lens as "fixed," what they mean is that it's not removable it most certainly does zoom. The smallest available aperture is f/8, with 1/3 stop increments available in-between the largest and smallest apertures. Officially dubbed Olympus i.Zuiko Digital, the new lens ranges from 6-24mm, or 28-112mm equivalent, with a widest aperture range of f/1.8, changing to f/2.5 when zoomed. Olympus is quick to point out that the XZ-1 is the first pocket camera to have a Zuiko-branded optic built in. Designed to compete with the likes of the Panasonic LX5, Canon S95 and G12, Nikon P7000, and Samsung TL500, the Olympus XZ-1 is a first for the company though it harks back to the larger C-2040, Olympus's first digital camera with an f/1.8 lens, dating back to 2001. With the market's increased focus on low light photography, it seems quite proper that Olympus has jumped into the fray, introducing the XZ-1, a high-end pocket camera with a fast f/1.8 lens and HD video recording. Imaging Resource ratingīy Mike Pasini, Shawn Barnett, Stephanie Boozer, and Zig Weidelich High ISO performance isn't quite what we hoped for, but we'd be happy to stick with lower ISOs for access to the XZ-1's fine glass.

Offering a lens that's both faster and sharper overall than its rivals, the Olympus XZ-1 comes out swinging and lands quite a few punches.
