I'm getting some Oly GAS from this thread.
Oh No ! So am I !!!!!
I'm getting some Oly GAS from this thread.
Repurchased the XZ1 again after I returned it from Amazon a few months ago, this time I got it at BB brand new for less than 150 after using my AMEX gift cards, Oly colors keep drawing me back.
Thats exactly why I have kept mine. I love the colours and I love the CCD sensor in the XZ-1. I also bought the VF-2 to go with it, but naturally, I also bought that Nikon 1 V1 at nearly the same time and that has been dominating my photography. XZ-1 though, thats now my "always in the bag" camera.
I am on my third XZ-1. I keep selling and after a while I end up buying another one. The good thing is that I always found one in mint shape for less that $200.
There is something addictive about the lens and, in good light, about the JPEGS.
Sadly, I dropped mine face down on its open lens barrel. It still works but not as well as it used to, and I have stopped carrying it everywhere. I may have to buy a PEN to go with my VF-2... or maybe another XZ-1.

Further to the XZ-1 apparent disaster, I decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the Olympus auto opening lens covers. Whats happened is that it has stabilised the lens, and now, my little XZ is back to its normal wonderful self.
This is one of the more recent ones (posted elsewhere in forum as well, with a couple of sunrise shots taken the same day)
I admire the photo, and I admire anyone who is up at sunrise. However my attitude about the early morning has always been that it's a lovely time of day if you happen to be up. (an insight stolen from elsewhere but I don't remember where).
