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.

Pros: Compactness, excellent 28 300 lens, construction, viewfinder, battery life, price in the used, excellent ergonomics and control layout, excellent jpeg, touch screen, integrated wifi

Cons: production output is only used

Opinion: Fabulous compact to always have behind or for light and carefree holidays. Its focal excursion 28 300 allows you to do a little everything, the lens is excellent at all focal points and is 2.8 fixed, the blurry is very pleasant and the yield in relation to the small sensor is very good and with modern demosaicization software you can safely push to 1600 iso. It's basically a small omd as an operation. After trying several compact (even with larger sensor) I decided for her.

Pros: Trasportabilissima, zoom 28-300/2.8 over the entire focal range, EVF, optimum stabilizer

Cons: Noise above the ISO 1600, limited field depth because of the sensor size (from 150 to 300mm the out of the planes however is fantastic and the bokeh is not nervous but agreeable). Very standard video compartment (more than enough).

Opinion: So... let's start by saying that you don't have to compare it to ff... There's no history. But there is not even the FF when you annoy bring you 2kg of body and optics... instead the stylus 1 is there. Always (if you want). Anecdote: I learned to love it when on holiday with the family I brought the kit FF... (D750 and a pair of optics in the backpack plus a flash etc...) ... and I finally left it at the hotel. Bringing behind only the stylus 1. When I returned from the holiday I looked at the photos... what a spectacle! The yield is really stratospheric up to 400 ISO. To understand: What are you doing with your shots? If croppate to 100% or printed on paper A0... well... The 12Mpixel and the ISO you hear them. otherwise...... only Pippe mental. Also usable at ISO 2000 if printed on 13x18 or even on A4... with films it was difficult to have less grain at 2000 ISO. And the 12Mpxel are absolutely sufficient for everyone. Optics: Truly superb. Stabilization is perfect. The yield is fantastic on the whole range. Even at TA. I used it to do portraits and to do macros. Wonderful. In essence: Bought in 2015... I keep it and keep it jealously. Even if I changed many bodies: from M4/3 to FF passing through various APSC. Because Olympus does not make a new version: I think because it would be a problem for the market of Micro4/3... It was riusicita too good. And with a body/optics from the weight and footprint of a toy there was everything you need. A problem for the M4/3 low budget market... What about: Promoted with 10-(the least just to say that the video compartment is a bit under the photo compartment)
