The EX1, announced at photography show PMA under its US name, the TL500, is a 10-megapixel compact that packs in a wealth of upper-class features. <br />On the front, like the tell-tale flared nostrils of an epically inbred minor royal, is an f1.8 lens with 24mm-equivalent wide angle and 3x optical zoom. Delve into its genes and you'll find a large 1/1.7-inch 10-megapixel CCD sensor. It offers manual, shutter and aperture priority modes, and raw shooting. <br />Perched on top of the camera like a coronet on thinning hair is an accessory hotshoe for adding a flash, or a viewfinder. At the back there's a 76mm (3-inch) flip-out AMOLED screen. AMOLED screens give richer, brighter colour and don't burn through your battery like the black sheep of the family tearing through the inheritance. <br />The aristocracy isn't perfect, of course. Instead of hereditary porphyria, the EX1 suffers from video that's only VGA. Even the commonest of compact cameras boasts high-definition video these days; that's egalitarianism for you. Video is, however, unlikely to be a dealbreaker for the prosumer target audience. <br />
