      Comments about Olympus STYLUS XZ-2 Black Digital Camera:

      This is just a really good package of lens quality/sensor resolution/ touch control/LCD screen/ and control buttons. The viewer software also works well for processing the RAW images.
      Other good points are the quality of the JPEG images straight off the the camera and the naturalness of the colours, and because the designers did not go overboard on miniaturisation the controls are not at all fiddly.
      I have come to it from a Nikon D300 with fixed lenses and am surprised how close the Olympus gets to Nikon quality pictures but you can take XZ-2 every where!

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
