Tom ON TOUR with the STYLUS XZ-10 with special thanks to Derek Robertson A while ago we ran a promotion where the winners received our rather lovely award-winning XZ-10 camera on top of a street photography day in London. We followed up with some ads based on the images shot on the day but after seeing what Derek shot on his XZ-10 in Venice we felt it was worth a follow up just for him. You see the XZ-10 is a truly pocketable camera with a punch. Perfect for the weekend away or just to be in your bag when you do not fancy carrying all the usual kit. Thanks again Derek and we look forward to more XZ-10 adventures soon.
