Already after a short training you can - with the Olympus XZ-2 - provided one has photographic experience - We make very good pictures. All settings are made via tired snap switches and scroll wheel. The grip ring on the lens can - depending on the area code - be assigned different functions. It's really fun to take pictures with the camera. The image quality is about the same on other precious compact - like the Sony RX 100 III - which stood us to compare recordings. For a quick photo a fingertip touch on the very good resolution display. , In addition, the display can be swiveled - can be shaded - so one misses in bright light not necessarily the viewfinder. The video function is neglected by Olympus. The for comparison Sony RX 100 III provides relatively good video recordings. Those looking for any film end camera found in the Olympus XZ-2 is an excellent tool for photographing - whose multiple functions open up a little by little. With so much electronics probably has a hang - possibly due to incorrect operation - to fast command inputs - an incorrect or unformatted card - can not be excluded. In our experience - customer service in general - we wanted to prefer to send the camera back to take as the service. The free call to Olympus, 00 00800 67 1083, was then a very positive surprise. With expertise and patience while we learned a telephonic guidance through the menu - with the result of a provision to the factory setting and guidance on the handling and the update. Really great - even the result of the necessary sample photos has been queried.
