Pros: A DSLR in a compact body

Cons: Perhaps, if we want to be picky, the lens could have started at least from 24mm instead of 28mm

Opinion: I have owned it for a short time and I am appreciating it more and more every day, found at 200 €, performing, handy, light but solid, perhaps it would have needed a more extreme wide angle, perhaps a 24mm, but you absolutely do not notice that it is a camera released in 2015 and the 12mpx are not a limit. I completed it with the Olympus CLA-13 device, adding a UV filter and a lens hood with cap, if a person doesn't look at it closely it looks like an OM-D E-M10 with telephoto lens.

Pros: Small but with a bazooka for a lens. Versatile. Very good JPEG in the room. ND filters. Excellent stability. Sharpness at 300 mm equivalent

Cons: A wheel is missing.

Opinion: A masterpiece still more than a dozen years later. The machine is intuitive, always ready, always available. I put it in a bag with a couple of batteries (the same as the M10 series) and at any time it is there and we all know that the best car is the one you always have with you. I even went to 2500 ISO without any problem. Today, thanks to DxO, shooting even at 1600 ISO is not a gamble, you recover a lot of detail despite the very effective noise reduction. There are many shots in my galleries with this prodigy. I am absolutely convinced that if Olympus were to remake this camera by tropicalizing it and adding a lot of computational intelligence it would sell it by the truckload. The strength of this camera is the zoom, sharp and very well stabilized. I also have the RX100VII I reviewed that is superior to it in some respects, but I get out more easily with the Olympus because it has a better grip and a longer zoom. And after all, especially during the day, it doesn't make you regret the Sony sensor which is larger. If you find it between 100 and 200 euros DO NOT miss it

Pros: Portability, jpg colors, controls, evf viewfinder, stabilization, zoom

Cons: noise above ISO 800 (normal given the sensor size)

Opinion: This is the first camera with which I approached photography and I would recommend it to those who are beginners. With about 200 euros you can take home an object that, despite the years, churns out jpgs of excellent quality (12 mpx are more than enough if it is not required to make large prints) with very pleasant colors. The controls are well positioned and make the photographic gesture fluid, enticing you to learn the approach to the manual (too bad for the lack of a ring dedicated to ISO). But the real advantages for me are the optical zoom (300 mm eq.!), the stabilization (freehand you get good results even at 1/50) and the portability of the camera which, given the small size, make you want to always carry it with you. Given the size of the sensor, in low light situations it becomes more complex to shoot with pleasure, but if you are looking for a camera to take on the road to photograph mainly landscapes or for street photography, the stylus1 is an excellent choice.

Pros: Layout of controls and dimensions and super viewfinder

Cons: That the optics start from the 28th and not from the 24th

Opinion: I have used dozens of SLRs and bridge and compact cameras and some give more pleasure than others in use and this Olympus is one of "those". It churns out photos that easily compete with higher sensors in terms of size, just don't go too high in iso. Spectacular optics with constant aperture, and it is truly portable (flat with closed optics), excursion that allows you to take all kinds of photos and of course also macros. In my opinion, Sony rx100 type compact cameras don't make sense since the new phones, which we always have with us, churn out excellent photos. The bridge allows you a different approach to the photo, more thoughtful and have usable controls.

Pros: Compact, not so small that it can fit in a jeans pocket, but in a jacket pocket; very complete and equipped with a 28-300 f2.8 zoom; Typical Olympus functionality management, i.e. very complete perhaps too much, and a level of performance much higher than what the sensor measurement would lead you to believe (if you develop the raw correctly, otherwise it is still good).

Cons: The passing of time, the habit of a long series of features that someone may not be able to give up and, in short, everything that is not there; For my part, only the wide-angle lens is no wider than the 28mm EQ.

Opinion: I've had the Stylus 1 for a few years and I've casually used it alternating it with other machines without expecting who knows what, after all the sensor is what it is, the seniority of the project as well, etcetera etcetera, yes, complete, all in all compact, a nice zoom, but the technical limits are there... I was delighted with the results, but not surprised. For some time now, however, thanks to the adoption of DXO PureRaw in the development of raws, I have completely re-evaluated this camera (perhaps it means that my way of developing them before is not that great): shots at 1600 iso are not at all "at the limit", the level of detail of the photos is surprising (who said that with 12 megpixel you can't photograph?), the performance of the lens, in terms of vignetting and CA, is absolutely decent and, in short, the Stylus has earned a more important and less snubbed place in my bag in the field. Let's be clear: what isn't there isn't, so 1) the M43 sensor is better (the 1" one not so much), 2) a good fixed lens will always have better performance, 3) the AF is fast but not lightning fast and 3) if you need to make 4k movies it doesn't do them. Point. Everything else can be carried with you in the pocket of a jacket, sorry if it's little. In retrospect and after use in various situations I must say that I felt a bit the lack of a wide angle of at least 24mm eq., but never mind. Add to that the fact that it uses the same battery as many other M43 bodies, the BLS-5, which I find really comforting. In short, much better to have it than not to have it.
