A sort of SLR and compact digicam hybrid, the XZ-1 incorporates some of the great features from Olympus' SLR and PEN E-PL1 and E-PL2 cameras including non-destructive art filters. Its massive lens is the real star of the show. The lens is an f1.8 with high-end optics that let in a ton of light making this camera perform well in low-light situations. It also shoots full HD video. One feature we really like is the ability to change the f-stop and other settings using the ring on the lens barrel.
