Olympus Stylus XZ-10 review
At first glance the Olympus Stylus XZ-10 looks like a shrunken-down version of the comapny's top-spec XZ-2 compact. But it's both more and less than that: this middling advanced compact is a curious mix of high-spec - thanks to raw capture and the inclusion of a brand new 5x optical zoom lens with...
Pros:
- Small size
- wide aperture lens
- decent build quality
- physical control ring around lens
- raw file capture has its uses
- often good quality from small sensor size
- built-in ND filter
Cons:
- Lens introduces visible softness
- white balance can be off
- some issues with lens column not retracting
- reflective LCD screen
- sensor-shift stabilisation doesn't benefit preview

Excellent quality pocket camera
I'm very pleased with this little camera. I bought it as a pocketable travel/family camera to complement my larger camera system. The image quality is superb for its size, and the RAW mode allows me to squeeze the best out of the small sensor.The lens performs very well.
Pros:
- Durable
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight

Olympus XZ 10 or XZ 1?
I have been a fan of Olympus cameras since the days of the OM 10. I take lots of pictures. While I like a camera that is easy to use, I do like the option of using manual settings. My main camera is an E-620. It takes great shots and is a very intuitive camera---but it weighs a ton.

- Average video quality
- Screen very reflective

Olympus XZ-10 camera review
If you are looking for a camera to pop into a jacket pocket when going out, or for casual holiday snaps, the Olympus XZ-10 might just be for you.

Great little camera
I have an XZ-10 and the XZ-2. I find that I'm using the XZ-10 more. The main reason is that I can always put it into my pocket so it is always with me. It is as quick as the XZ-2 in terms of startup and focus.

Easy to use-compact full featured
This is my second Olympus camera. I really like my Stylus 760, but the additional tech features on the XZ-10 make it an outstanding addition to my camera selections. I like compact pocket size cameras that are easy to carry and use.

I've had this camera for about 6 weeks now and I think it's great. I also have an XZ-2 to compare it alongside and I must say, if I'm taking a small camera with me I'll go for the XZ-10 every time.
