Canon has done very well with its G series fixed lens, compact digicams. So it seems natural that Olympus should
The new Olympus XZ-1 is a serious compact that's aimed at the enthusiast and professional user looking for a small yet capable pocket camera. A relatively large 1/1.63 inch CCD sensor, f/1.8 maximum aperture, 3 inch OLED screen and a full range of manual shooting modes should be enough to get their attention. But can the XZ1 take on the likes of the Panasonic LX5, Samsung EX-1 and Canon PowerShot S95?

Back in 2001, when it was possible to charge $999 for a compact camera, Olympus produced the C-3040Z, C-4040Z and C5050Z which featured some of the brightest zooms to ever appear on such cameras.

The Olympus XZ-1 is a surprisingly compact point and shoot camera that offers lots of advanced operations for serious photographers.

Olympus XZ-1: A small, fun and easy-to-use camera; great for novices, but pros should get a kick out of it, too
Olympus' latest point-and-shoot with an impressive f/1.8 lens performs like gangbusters, but stumbles when the lights grow dim.
A new flagship digicam with a fast zoom lens, a wide range of exposure controls and support for raw file capture and 720p HD video recording.The XZ-1 was one of two feature-rich cameras announced by Olympus on 6 January, as the C.E.S Show opened in Las Vegas. Introduced as the flagship of the company's digicam line-up, the XZ-1 combines a relatively large '1/1.63 inch' type (~ 8 x 6 mm) CCD sensor with an effective resolution of 10 megapixels with a smarter body design and many features from PEN series models.
