... but full retail cost, and the short battery life, are definite negatives that pull my rating down a star. Still, the superb Olympus optics, pluses outstanding build and image quality deserve a full five stars. This could be a person’s only camera for a trip where weight is critical. I use Olympus micro four thirds cameras and lenses almost exclusively (I have one Leica / Panasonic LUMIX m4/3 lens) which are already small and light. Even given that, there are times when I want smaller and lighter yet. The XS-10 gives me (for me) all the megapixels I need with a great fast zoom lens in a pocket sized package. The menus are typical Olympus, and include the filters and setting I want to use too. In fact, this camera provides an important vehicle for my personal project where I shoot everything in a posterized ‘comic book’ effect, and I have already had one book of that project printed, with another on the way. In summary, if you get this camera used in great shape for a reduced price, and it fits your needs as a street or travel photographer (and yes, this camera can record in RAW and jpg) you could be all set. Add a Flash Air card for wireless transfer to your smartphone, an extra battery or two (not expensive)and you can stay both powered up and edit and post on the fly. Happy photography!Read full review

Excellent features for advanced users who want a decent travel camera or a backup camera. The front control ring offers a quick way to control apertures, shutter speeds, etc. The back control rings controls exposure level and other functions that you customize. Picture quality is pretty good, can't be compared with the OMD series. But it can handle low light situations with ease, quick focusing as well. I have never used flash at all with this camera, there's no need to.
I purchased one of these cameras brand new several years ago and it has been an amazing and reliable unit.It currently has a cracked screen so getting an identical replacement at a reasonable and fair market value means that I can keep using a camera that I am familiar with from the actual taking pictures to the process of downloading them.
