Added on September 4, 2009, 10:29 pmQUOTE(guess19 @ Sep 4 2009, 06:03 PM) swt. i think i go with pen ep1 better. single kit lens or double kit lens better? go for 2 kitlens............ At least you have the flexibility. 17mm use for low light condition. 14-42mm for walk around kitlens This post has been edited by dazzle: Sep 4 2009, 10:29 PM |

QUOTE(Babyripp @ Sep 15 2009, 11:12 AM) cool! new firmware is out already.. I'm charging my battery.. guess have to wait till later today. I'm going on a >14day trip soon so I think I am really gonna need a spare battery. How much is it going for and where can I find it? I was in Penang last weekend at the camera shops around komtar area.. and bought 40.5 filter for 30 bucks.. erm.. last time I check in midvalley the filter is RM120 so.. what actually did I just get? some no brand kinda filter is it? Is it okay to used cheap filters? I still dunno what external flash I should get. Is FL-36R the smallest yet swivel-able option? Battery for E-P1 is same as the E-400/ E-410/ E-420/ E-450/ E-620. Search for Olympus BLS1 (BLS-1) Lithium Ion Battery Pack. Is not cheap.....At least cost you RM200 above... no problem for a cheap filter...... Go for FL-36R............you can swivel around.....Haha.. |

Added on September 16, 2009, 11:49 pmSeems like AF no improvement coz normally we use S-AF. No one use CAF one ler... you should own OM lens..... The colour is just as nice as the pro lens colour...... Especially the 135mm f2.8....Damn creamy bokeh. Try to ebay it......get 1 from there.... Nikon old lens is not as good as OM lens. YOur manual skill is not good....dude. YOu need alot of training...... This post has been edited by dazzle: Sep 17 2009, 02:05 PM |

My wish list....
Lumix G Vario HD 7-14mm F/4.0 (arrive by next week)
Lumix G Vario HD 14-140mm F/4.0-5.8(pending on buying)
Lumix G Vario HD 20 F/1.7(pending on buying)
I own a White E-P1, 14-42mm F/3.5-5.6 and 17mm f2.8, FL-30R.....
Item from Panasonic is really hard to buy immediately. You have to wait for 1 week at least....Cause the lens come from Japan.

After looking on the review......
IQ still superior on Olympus side........Panasonic still need to work hard to improve their IQ.......Personally i still prefer oly lens to Pana lens.
Some rumors is flying around the website.....Olympus might have a E-P2 with IVF and IFlash......We need to wait patiently to have good camera....
I might try to switch my Nikon to fully Olympus m4/3 end of this year.........
