Jargon Buster: Off
The new Olympus XZ-2 updates the Olympus XZ-1, and provides a number of updates and new features that have been designed after listening to feedback from XZ-1 users.
Olympus XZ-2 Cross Section
The Olympus XZ-2 updates the XZ-1, with a new detachable grip, a new switch to control the lens ring function, a new 12 megapixel backlit CMOS sensor, and a new 3 inch tilting touch screen. Although the new RRP of £479 certainly makes it more expensive than it's pre-decessor, the XZ-1, as the XZ-1 was introduced at £399.

This updated Olympus looks like it could be a real contender for 'Serious Compact', but it's up against some big name opposition !
