Olympus XZ-2 Test

Olympus Stylus XZ-2 is a significant re-working of the XZ-1, one of the favorite enthusiast compacts when it was launched. The Olympus XZ-2 retains much of what made that camera good, including a well-performing lens that remains bright across its entire range, adding more external control and greater customization, both in terms of controls and image processing. The XZ-2 camera also gains a higher-resolution, flip-out touch screen and removable front handgrip. The flip-out screen offers a higher resolution than the XZ1, and will now flip up and down. It is also touch-senstive, allowing you to focus or fire the shutter, or interact with the on-screen control panel. The touch features can be disabled if you do not want them.
