Olympus has released it popular Stylus XZ-2 camera in white.
The high-end compact comes packed with features, including a touch sensitive screen for when shooting low down or above head high – ideal for getting shots over the heads of throngs of tourists.
The XZ-2 gives loads of control over images, thanks to manual controls that are similar to those of an SLR. There’s a Zuiko digital lens that is the equivalent of a 28-112mm on an SLR and a 12MP sensor which gives great quality full size movies, stills and prints.
For creative types, there are 11 Art Filters that can be applied to images and HD movies, including Cross Process, Diorama, Dramatic Tone, Gentle Sepia, Grainy Film, Key Line, Light Tone, Pale & Light Colour, Pin Hole, Pop Art and Soft Focus. A clever Art Filter Bracketing will generate multiple versions of shots to showcase different picture modes and Art Filter effects.
The list cost is from £479.99 but savvy shoppers can pick it up much cheaper at sites like Park Cameras
