Olympus Stylus XZ-2 12.0MP Digital Camera Black Used Exc+ Condtion

This camera has seen very little usage over the years. This camera is Olympus' top of the line point and shoot CMOS sensor camera that has an aluminum case for durability and a tilting LCD screen for low angle framing and glare avoidance. The hinges are super strong and the camera has a precision heft and fell akin to a Leica rangefinder camera. These cameras are in high demand by street photographers and those in search of a and advanced feature point and shoot that is small enough for every day carry duties. The external flash connector allows Olympus/Panasonic branded TTL flashes to be fully controlled by the Olympus X2 camera. The OLED screen is very bright in sunlit situations and is razor sharp. You can have histograms display with detailed color and shooting information when playing back images. The Olympus F1.8 lens is brighter than most point and shoot cameras and excels at low light non-flash photography. This one's a keeper. Olympus engineer really went to town and burned the midnight oil when designing this camera. Perfect for vacations or the casual photography hobbyist.

The only accessories included is a dual tray Lithium Ion USB Battery Charger and 2 Olympus Lithium Ion Rechargeable Batteries.

his STYLUS XZ-2 iHS Digital Camera (Black) from Olympus is a compact camera that produces 12MP photos and Full HD 1080p video with its 1/1.7" backside illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor. It's equipped with a wide-angle-to-telephoto 27-108mm (35mm equivalent) 4x optical zoom lens, with a fast aperture of f/1.8-2.5 for clear, detailed shots in low-light conditions. Using the 3.0" swiveling touchscreen with a 910k-dot resolution, you can compose and shoot photos with the tap of your finger, knowing that the dual image stabilization technology will keep your images clear and sharp.

Olympus' iHS Technology combines the BSI CMOS sensor with the XZ-2's TruePic VI Image Processor to deliver improved image quality, response time, and intelligent functions. Watch as the Track AF easily follows your subject throughout the frame. The camera's Dual image stabilization (IS) technology, a combination of high ISO sensitivity and sensor-shift IS, implements the best settings for any given scene so you don't end up with image blur. The XZ-2 employs a fast and bright f/1.8-2.5 i.ZUIKO lens and high ISO sensitivity up to 6400, both of which enable clear, detailed image capture under low-light conditions.

For more control over your images, the XZ-2 has a built-in mode dial and the ability to shoot images in RAW format. The mode dial allows you to quickly switch as your situation changes without having to navigate camera menus or change individual settings. Shooting RAW images allows you to capture, view and edit uncompressed, detail-rich files using editing software rather than letting the camera do it.

Eleven in-camera art filters give you creative options for your work, while the panorama mode allows you to capture ultra wide-angle vistas by simply shooting three pictures in succession as you slowly sweep the camera across the scene - no tripod required. The built-in accessory port allows you to attach optional flashes, lights, microphones and viewfinders.

12MP Resolution BSI 1/1.7" CMOS Sensor
The XZ-2 uses a large 1/1.7" 12MP resolution BSI-CMOS image sensor that provides enhanced low light performance and image quality over its predecessor. Both the increase from 10 to 12MP, and the addition of backside illumination (BSI), results in an extended dynamic range and increase in maximum ISO sensitivity to 12800.
27-108mm f/1.8-2.5 i.ZUIKO DIGITAL Lens (35mm Equivalent)
The i.ZUIKO DIGITAL wide-angle-to-telephoto lens is a compact version of the Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lenses, and is designed specifically for compact cameras like the XZ-2. The i.ZUIKO DIGITAL lens enables light to travel in a near-straight path to the image sensor in order to optimize optical performance. With a maximum aperture of f/1.8 at 27mm and f/2.5 at 108mm, this bright lens delivers similar image quality to that of the much larger ZUIKO DIGITAL DSLR lenses, giving you the benefit of great low-light performance, as well as less weight. Having a wide f/1.8 aperture also makes it possible to shoot pictures with more background blur (bokeh), which is usually difficult with small point & shoot cameras. This effect is especially apparent in portrait and macro shots with a subject relatively far from the background. A hybrid control ring built around the lens enables you to easily assign function settings to your preferences and switch between analog and digital operation. Use this ring for focusing or zooming, as well as changing exposure-related settings quickly and easily. The ring enables fine-tune focusing in macro, composition selection when shooting, and exposure adjustment--all without taking your eyes off your subject.
3.0" Swiveling Touchscreen LCD Display
Not only does the XZ-2 have a 3.0" touchscreen display, but the LCD also swivels - flipping out from the camera to provide better viewing angles while shooting. It tilts up to 80° and down to 50°. From shooting low to the ground, to high above your head, you can see everything your XZ-2 sees by simply moving the screen where you want it. The greatest benefit of having a touchscreen is that you can accurately use tap-shooting and touch playback controls to add another dimension to how you shoot and navigate the camera's menus. Touch controls include Touch shutter release, Touch enlargement, Touch Live Guide, AF area selection, Frame advance/backward, Enlargement playback, and Touch Super Control Panel. Brightness and color temperature are both adjustable ±7 levels. For color setting, Vivid or Natural can be selected.
Olympus iHS Technology
The XZ-2 uses Olympus' iHS technology for enhanced picture quality and faster camera response time. It combines the TruePic VI image processor with the backside illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor, for high image quality and processing speed while keeping noise levels low.
TruePic VI Image Processor
The camera's high-resolution image quality is supported by the TruePic VI image processor, as it renders images similar to what your eyes see, and is faster than the previous versions of TruePic processors. Fine Detail Processing minimizes loss of resolution while preventing false colors or moiré. Real Color Technology accurately reproduces rich gradation of colors and Advanced Gradation Auto prevents colors from being washed out in highlights and being darkened in shadows.
Dual IS Image Stabilization
Using a combination of high ISO sensitivity and sensor-shift image stabilization, the XZ-2 detects motion during shooting and reduces camera shake and image blur, helping you capture sharp images
Full HD 1080p Video Recording
Record videos in Full HD 1920x1080 or 1280x720 (16:9), both at 30fps, with an 18Mbps bit rate for 1080 and a 9Mbps bit rate for 720. You can also record at 30fps Recording can begin instantly with the press of a single dedicated Movie button so you'll never miss that critical moment. The Dual IS image stabilization also stabilizes the image during movie shooting, so you can walk down the street without getting shaky videos. The One Push Teleconverter function magnifies your video up to 2x. Plug an optional HDMI cable into the micro HDMI port on the camera to view your videos on an HDTV.
Audio Recording
Recording is in WAV format: Stereo linear PCM/16-bit, 48kHz sampling frequency. Microphone features Wind Noise Reduction and enables audio dubbing for still pictures (up to 30 sec). Maximum recording time for a picture with sound is 4 sec; for a movie, it depends upon video recording time.
RAW Format Shooting
In addition to the standard JPEG format, one can use the RAW data format for more convenient picture retouching after shooting. The RAW data can be processed on a PC with the provided Olympus software, or in the camera itself.
