Has any body any experience of the Olympus XZ-1.
I'm looking for a descreet pocket camera and am considering the Olympus XZ -1 or the Canon S95; The Canon seems the obviouse choice but I am attracted to the Olympus.
My local retailer does not have the Olympus in stock so cannot try it out. I have tried the Canon but I am drawn to the fast lens of the Olympus ; If anybody has any experience of the XZ-1 I would appriciate thier opinion as to its suitability as pocket camera. Undecided

I am considering buying this as a secondary camera to replace my C5050Z, keeping the E-500 as my primary camera.  The news that additional lenses may be available at some stage helped to make up my mind.  I saw one in Jessops but did not have the time to do more than handle it for a minute or two - it feels good, if a little strange after my other cameras, but is packed with features which seem to outdo the Olympus Pen.
