A Couple of Shots from the Olympus XZ-1

Back in 2011 I was furnished an Olympus XZ-1 compact camera for 30 days to write a review for Serious Compacts.  Pictures from the camera had more noise, but were sharper than those from similar cameras I reviewed at the time.  Frankly, I prefer that compromise.  The newer Lirghtroom 5 deals much better with noise, I think, than the Lightroom 3 of 2011.  And it deals much, much better with highlight recovery.  Here are a couple of recent reworkings of photos I originally processed in black and white.
