Similar cameras

In the high-end compact camera market, its main competitors are the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 and Canon S95 though the S95's lens is considerably slower at most focal lengths. Competing compact cameras which are capable of shooting in Raw mode include Canon PowerShot G12, Fujifilm X10, Nikon Coolpix P7100, Samsung TL500/EX1, and the previously mentioned Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5.

A similar category to high-end compact cameras are mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras ("MILC"), some of which are in a compact form factor (with a similar-sized body), such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2, Olympus PEN E-P1/E-P2, and Sony Alpha NEX-3/5. MILCs differ however in being significantly larger (with lens attached), and significantly higher-end, featuring much larger sensors and interchangeable lenses.

The follow-up modell XZ-2 appeared in 2012 and features the same lens, while adding an improved sensor, tilting touch-screen and a two-mode control dial around the lens.[3]

gollark: Really? Hm.
gollark: If you become an ultrahypermegaplatinum™ donator for just £2500, I can buy an RTX 3090 (and better server hardware) and run up to about 10-billion-parameter models.
gollark: osmarks.net's main server's GPU can handle models of up to around 700 million parameters.
gollark: You might not *need* a giant model for all applications, task performance scales oddly with model size.
gollark: However, good luck getting GPUs for that.
