Olympus America has announced that the new Stylus XZ-10 will be available stateside in late March 2013 for $400. The compact camera was originally announced last month at the CP+ show in Yokohama, Japan. Although Japanese and European availability was unveiled, there was no word if it’d make it to our shores.

Like its sibling the XZ-2, the XZ-10 packs a few high-end features into a compact point-and-shoot body. The features include a bright f/1.8-2.7 zoom lens (26-130mm equivalent), manual settings (including RAW shooting), ISO up to 6,400, Olympus’ TruePic VI image processor, the fast autofocusing system from the Olympus PEN series, and a 0.43-inch diagonal 12-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor (smaller than the one inside the XZ-2). A control ring around the lens lets you adjust settings such as aperture and exposure, and the 3-inch LCD (920K dots) is touch capable. The camera makes a good option for those seeking a high-performance point-and-shoot, but it’s too early to tell how well the smaller sensor will perform.

While globally the XZ-10 is available in a variety of colors, it seems the U.S. will only get the black version. Get the full specs here.

But sometimes you can lose the original files of those moments, leaving the Instagram copy as the only available one . While you may be happy to leave it up there, it's a lot more convenient to have another version of it downloaded onto your phone or computer. While downloading directly from Instagram can be tricky, there are ways around it. Here are a few easy ways to download Instagram photos.
