I will start the ball rolling;

Straight out of the Olympus XZ-1

Beautiful cat! (I'm prejudiced, being as how I am a cat person). And the shot is great. I'll be looking forward to more... XZ1 has made it onto my shortlist of "gotta have"

XZ-1 at the beach. I posted the color version recently, but like the B&W version better.

Just a few from the morning walk with the dog, nothing special. All fully zoomed, f2.5, ND filter on, spot metering, iso 100. I start to see why I could like this little camera.

Thanks Kiteflyer, she is a pretty baby indeed. I am loving this little Oly more and more...

Lili - although I'm not really a "cat person", we have three...and right now, just one dog (my pal)....however, I do like cats and this is a lovely close up of a beauty. Great details! There's something about cats that just seem to call out to be photographed.

retow - I love that image of the jumping for joy and happiness young lady! The monochromatic tones worked beautifully. I'll have to go find the color one to compare, if I must make a choice. Stunning lighting - and what a moment! Great color and detail on those plant/flowers shots, too!

Thanks for your kind words. The young lady is my 11 year old daughter. They grow tall these days

Here is the original post-processed in Silkypix, Adjusting Curves and Sharpness

By way of compare, here is similar shot from the E-PL1, similar processing

the 14-150mm M-Zuiko was at 108mm-e, F5.4, ISO 1000
That ISO tells the tale; the XZ-s is worth the cost for having a fast lens
