Earlier in the year - I posted that I had sold my Fuji F31, and was looking for a new camera.
Several pointed me to Olympus XZ-1, there were a few things I wanted it missed ... in particular lack of full HD video.

The new XZ-2 is now out ... what is the considered opinion on this replacement ?

Same lens (which was bright & well rated), slightly larger sensor increased ASA to 12,800
Increase to 12.8 megapixel and full HD video.

Any comments yet as a potential underwater camera .. initial reviews I have seen don't seem very favourable, pointing out that Olympus have not kept up with trends. They point instead to Sony RX100 is far better performer
