i just bought the gf1 with pancake kitlen from kajang shop also.....free 1 battery, strap, lumix camera bag, puma sweater.......mine 1 is silver colour...

The GF1 is out of stock/backordered in most reputable US online retailers. Was considering to get one since the EP-2 is nothing spectacular.

Woow .. I just got my GF1 from Panasonic, kudos to their fast service !! GF1 is smaller than I think . But it doesn't come with memory card and camera bag Gotta do some shopping for the accessories liao.

There you go .... took the pic using my N82 ... sorry 4 da noob skillz ...




TS, can add me to GF1 member list !! Thanks

Thanks thanks ... just took some pics with colleagues during lunch time, but not nice to share out here la.

Now charging battery, some more office hour, not ready to shoot la But will definitely post some later tonite

2 of my coll grab the gf1 already..so damn fast..

Add me to the list as well, thanks! 

i received email from olympus asistant product manager as below:

The E-P2 will be available in December 2009. E-P2 body + EVF SRP 3799. E-P2w17mm Kit +EVF @ 3999. E-P2w14-42mm Kit @ 3999.
really expensive not a bit but a lot!! 

RRP is RM3299 for GF1 with Kit Lens, RM3799 for GF1 with Pancake Lens. But if you buy it before the promotion ends on November 13th, you will also receive a free Lumix camera case, spare battery, Panasonic 8GB SD card and an extra 2 years warranty (total of 3 years warranty).

me2..now considering GF-1 also since EP-2 is nth surprise except the EVF ... but the price duno will like what u expect less rm500 or not.. have to wait the review for e-p2 to decide..but i still like e-p2 design more..

I prefer EP1/2 over GF1 due to the compatibility with Oly 4/3 lens and the IS

but slow AF issue ? well i dont use it for sport or action..so ok ..

hopefully dec will come lor..so now only can wait and control not to see other anymore.. 

if me, i will wait for panasonic 100-300mm m43..at least look more equal to the body..if not look like elephant with big nose hehe!
so gogo, will u 'update' ur E-P1 to GF1??? really hard to decide..both got their pros and cons

IS depends on the lens though.

i cant see Canon 50D got IS on its body. 

Yeah!! Finally got my GF1 + pancake lens!! 

Many thanks to iamsobloodysick!~    Nice to deal with you!! Great seller, highly recommended!   

Sorry for bad the images. Took these photos inside my room. Very low light condition.



Hurray~~ 

hehe..so how abt e-p2? will u consider it?

I am collecting my panasonic 20mm f1.7 this morning. Can't wait to test on the Oly PEN... :-)

Any PEN owners using Pana 20 already?

I am currently using Oly 17mm the lense is fanstastic. I believed the Pana 20 is even better..esp. sharpnest and bokeh.
Below is a link to a sample taken from the 17mm

Back from sushi making gathering from friend's home. Just some pictures from my GF1

Just wondering, how's the stock of GF1 across KL/PJ right now?

Currently in US, but coming back next week.

Yeah,,,same thing happens to LX3.
Now i am using Oly PEN E-P1, happy with on-screen LCD and on PC. both looks great!!

Viva PEN

Best is to use the histogram to gauge general exposure. Then apply exposure compensation. Then it'll get more consistent exposure. Sometimes the LCD display fools your eyes because it is set too bright. Do this a few rounds and you'll know what are the typical settings and you'll learn to compensate.

The truth is there's a reason why most Panasonics are 'underexposed'. They are done deliberately to preserve detail and prevent highlights from being blown out. With this, you get more headroom for photo editing (with Photoshop for example). You can then adjust the brightness, curve, tone, etc. For most people, this is considered a chore and they want usable JPEGs straight out of the camera. For this, the Olympus EP-1 seems to do a great job. JPEGs are great out of the camera with the 'right exposure'. However some people says that it is dangerously close to overblown highlights.

Yes, lower dynamic range can also cause blown highlights like what happen to my LX3. Which is why I try not to shoot in the bright expose daylight.

i bought my GF1 + 200mm f1.7 set = MYR 3350

you are most welcome bro! just trying to share some tips~ ^^

Happy shooting!! 

Yeah a polarizer. But that means I'll need to add some extension tubes in order to fit a standard filter ring.
