Olympus Stylus XZ-10 packs control ring and PEN-like AF, we go hands-on at CP+ (video)

The Stylus XZ-10, which launched just this week, includes a small arsenal of features that you wouldn't normally find on a pocketable cam, including incredibly fast autofocus, a control ring around the lens, a dedicated mode dial and a very sharp (920k-dot) 3-inch LCD. The autofocus is the standout here, however -- Olympus describes it as being on-par with its PEN Micro Four Thirds models, and as compacts go, it feels just about as speedy as Sony's RX100. The 5x, 26-130mm lens offers a maximum aperture range of f/1.8-2.7, which should have you covered in most lighting situations. There's a 12-megapixel CMOS chip on board, with sensor-shift image stabilization, and support for 1080/30p video as well.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The camera itself feels very much like a premium device, and it's attractive to boot. There's no built-in WiFi, which we've been seeing embedded with quite a few pocketable models this year, but you <i>can</i> take advantage of some smartphone sharing and editing features if you add on an optional Toshiba FlashAir card. Sadly, there's still no US pricing to speak of, but Olympus reps here in Japan quoted a retail price of ¥40,000 (about $440), plus tax, when the camera hits stores beginning in February. Take a closer look in our hands-on after the break.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-bbb21e74" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/bbb21e74/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=77422759&disablebranding=0&view_secret=77422759" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>
