    tough call mate, I'd go xz1 as they are very similar but the xz1 has the expandable electronic viewfinder slot, which is very high resolution and awesome. The lx5 can also do this with a less good evf.

    Plus the xz1 had a brighter aperture at all zooms, 1.8 vs 2 at the wide end and 2.8 vs 3.3 at the long end. Plus if the xz1 uses olympus true pic jpeg engine its a massive bonus.

    The xz1 had terrible video last time i checked.

    • But both are ace cams so all is well. Why you not considering the lx5 btw?Hombre_Lobo
    • read countless reviews saying that the lx3 is better. A personal friend also had the lx5 and sold it as he preferred his lx3set
    • all that and it's cheaper, so makes sense to me :-)set
    • 'personal friend' lol.set
    • Lol personal meaning you've had his love length in your anus! interesting stuff about the lx3 though!Hombre_Lobo
    • LX5 is better, though. The things people like about the 3 are just interface differences.monospaced
