High price, No Wi-Fi or GPS, Loss of detail at high ISOs
Olympus' Stylus XZ-2 compact is about as advanced as a small-sensor compact camera can get. It's great for enthusiast photographers who want to muck around with settings. Novice users might be daunted, but the XZ-2 is at the top of its class...
