OLYMPUS XZ-10 as a cheap pocket camera

[jonbeeza]

After just recently buying myself a little Fuji XF1 I have been taking loads of indoor photos, the missus is also pretty impressed with it's indoor capabilities. She now says she would love one, as she does take photos now and again, mainly indoors such as when she is with friends and relatives in dimly lit places such as pubs, and relatives houses etc. Before I commit to buying, I was having a quick look what other small compacts are available. I have spotted the Olympus XZ-10 and this seems to have a pretty good bright lens, even at the longer end. Does anyone have any knowledge on this camera? As I don't have any at all !It's on offer at the moment at only £129.97

I know I was looking at adding the Canon SX280 to my collection, before I read the battery problem. But the above is for the missus, and not me

The XF comes in red!!! (And tan and black to match 3 different coloured shoes... Saddo that I am, I have a tan one because it's the best looking and a black one because it matches my car's interior [just to be even sadder, the car's an XF!])

I must admit I was originally going to get the tan one as it looks more retro, it reminds me of the 1970s. Reminds me of my old cars from the 70s and 80s, not the interior but the tan vinyl roof, can't remember if it was on my Marina or Allegro. I know you said you have two XF1s, but may as well get something slightly different, just the Olympus looks interesting.
