Olympus XZ-1 Digital Camera – an Objective Review q
The Olympus XZ-1 Digital Camera became available in 2011, although there was documentation and hearsay a long time before that. Getting photographers interested in this new and supposedly progressive digital camera was possible for Olympus, as they have a decent reputation in the camera world. At long last, it is on the market and people can buy it, so we can examine it and determine how wonderful it really is.
Old-fashioned cameras only allowed you to take a picture, but not know what it would look like until it was developed. It only takes seconds now with today’s digital cameras to see the end result of the shot that we just took. Digital cameras, like the Olympus XZ-1, allow you to see what your picture will look like before it is snapped. This camera has an LCD display that will provide you with a pre-image using their Live Guide Control technology. Your images will definitely improve over time as you get used to using this particular feature that allows you to see in advance what you are about to shoot.
If you would like to get a camera that is small enough to take with you anywhere that you go, the XZ-1 is probably a good choice. You will love the size of the camera because it is hand sized allowing you to take pictures with greater control. This camera is extremely small making it very easy to take along with you on road trips or on a bike ride. Unlike mini cameras, you will definitely know where this camera is while you are carrying it. Much larger than a smartphone, this camera will be much easier to handle allowing you to take better pictures. This camera also comes with a neck strap so you can carry it conveniently without losing it.
Battery life can be an issue with many digital cameras, and while the Olympus XZ-1 isn’t too bad in this area, it still may cause you difficulties. For instance, this camera can take about 300 pictures before you will need to swap batteries or have to recharge it. The battery will take about three hours to charge so keep this in mind when purchasing this camera. The camera that you choose, if it’s battery life is not that long, may lead to you buying a second replacement battery which could cost a little bit of money. These issues, however, are just part of owning a digital camera and aren’t unique to the XZ-1, which actually has a better than average battery life. Like any digital camera, the Olympus XZ-1 has its limitations, but overall this is a very solid and user friendly digital camera. The secondary feature of this strong still digital camera is the HD movie mode which is not its best feature. The XZ-1 is recommended to anyone who wants a compact point-and-shoot digital camera with a wide range of settings and features.
