My wishlist for the XZ-2:

• I hope they fixed the weird pre-flashes that made the XZ-1 incompatible with Sea & Sea strobes in TTL mode.
• Make the flash available in super macro mode.
• Faster autofocus.
• Easier custom white balance adjustment. The "one-touch" white balance on the xz-1 was more like "5-touch". Maybe the "fn" button will help with this.
• Ability to set custom white balance at depths below 10 m/33 feet.
• Less noise at ISO 400 and above.
• Better video mode. Especially I hope they fixed the focus hunting.
• Very wishfull thinking: Ability to set shutter speed with rear control wheel in M-mode (and ability to control rear control wheel with the Oly housing.)

I'm glad to see, that there is now two fibre optic connections. I'm excited about the new front lever, although I'm not sure how useful it will turn out to be for u/w photo usage.

The XZ-1 is compatible with the D-TTL in the YS-D1, btw. We're sort of hoping that the YS-01 gets a firmware upgrade soon...
