I use a Fastoneimageviewer software that allows me to compare Macro images of different brands: Samsung, Sony, Canon. The Nikon is well above sharpness and that's really all we're looking for a picture. After some brands give you the gadget but it does not replace a sharp picture. I recommend Nikon. For this model there is also rechargeable batteries EN-MH2-B4 that allow more than 300 photos.Finalement I correct: not nearly as good as the Olympus XZ-10.
