It's hard not to root for the scrappy little XZ-2. It packs many desirable features into a compact package, and does it with a sense of style that's distinctly, dare we say it, Olympian. The XZ-2's build quality and design are virtually unimpeachable, and...
Highend build and assembly, Great to handle: lens ring with/without notches, advanced customisation options, tilt screen, etc, Sensitivity handled well (800 ISO poses no problem) / Lens is very good quality at all focal lengths
Responsiveness is within average but nothing more, Function to mask the noise of the zoom motor muffles sound in video mode, No match for the Sony RX100 at high ISO settings

The Olympus STYLUS XZ-2 is a wonderful successor to the older XZ-1 and fulfills all the qualities expected from a flagship product. The image quality is great, AF speeds are impressive and the wide apertures ensure that you do not have to ramp up the ISO ...
The Olympus XZ-2 is a worthy successor to the XZ-1. With a better sensor, interchangeable grip, manual controls and bright lens, the XZ-2 is a competent advanced compact camera. Its high-resolution tilting touchscreen display helps in capturing shots, but...

High resolution, touchsensitive, tilting display, Robust build quality, Two customizable Fn buttons
Aggressive noise control, Erratic low light performance, Occasional shutter lag, A bit on the bulky side, Battery can only be charged incamera
