but the problem is not every lens got IS built in..

I'm sure those longer range ones will have IS. Maybe not the shorter primes like the 45. By the way, there's not much lens at the moment.

yeah, only in the longer lens you get IS.

Also, the system is less than 2 years old, so give it some chance with the lens la.
Panasonic is coming out with more lenses next year, and i heard olympus is going to announce something soon.

hopefully its e-p2 ..and hopefully the price and spec is not dissapointing!
panasonic lens is quite expensive.. olympus is expensive too but a bit cheaper still.. although not much difference.. luckily stilll got the adaptor to use with other type of lens.. therefore, i still prefer build in IS in the body..

Best is to use the adapter and the older lens for now. IS is not everything, a faster lens is more important. However if you have flash, it doesn't really matter anymore.

This 21 Nov Olympus got PEN gathering...muhahaa suspect is the anouncement of EP2!!!!

Just wondering, does anyone know if there is a place in KL to get the white version of the GF1?

If not any suggestion where might be the cheapest solution to get hold of one?

This guy is selling at LYF >> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1199704

If not; fly-in-fly-out to Singapore, with the tax rebate you'll cover the flight ticket** (weekdays airasia) and get the camera similarly priced to KL. Cathay Photo is the best priced S$1261 for 20mm + option to buy 14-45mm @ S$186 (all subject to 7%GST) Just got mine from SG last week, tired of waiting.

bro,
can bring frenz go too? bring me along?

I have registered via email with Jennette at Olympus yesterday. Hope to meet you guys there!
Oly PEN Rocks!!!

Guys, if you have facebook, you can get update from Olympus for any activity:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Olympus-E-sy...31676393?flyingspaghettimonster=ts

Including the latest November meet.

Oly PEN E-P2 specs leaked.
Check it out at http://43rumors.com/ft2-e-p2-price-ad-specs/

Extra specs as compared to E-P1
1) True Pic V+
2) External EVF 1.44mp
3) 3″ LCD 460k
4) 1080p 30fps
5) Flash Sync 1/180 or 1/250 and below
6) 3.5 ~ 4 fps shooting speed”

Omg.... this is really good news for those who haven't bought E-P1....

wow..nice spec..how abt built in flash? is there any ? but base on the price given, should be around 3.5k with lens.. hopefully not more than that..but i think this should be single lens kit

no built-in flash. I believed Olympus wants to reduce the overall size and weight and option to exclude it.
The hidden cost I see here is the EVF.

The positive thing abt this new release for me is the higher resolution screen and the new True Pic V+ engine, hopefully to improve the AF.

if not incl the built in flash, then still can only use either external flash or EVF?
anyone know when will the official announce for this new model??
