definitely leica 25mm la, i wish too if i got moolah

how is the zuiko 25mm pancake performance anyway?

How much and where u bought the pana 45-200mm?

I'm interested too. Can't find stock unless order.

Thanks. How much Bintang Maju offer?

The price is quite steep in Malaysia here, singapore just around $460.

I have not much doubts on low light photos capabilities of E-P1, instead i worry about the AF performance at low light, especially without assist lamp

But don't u think it much larger than PnS since u said u only exposed to PnS only prior to this.

still deciding a G1 or this

Cool guys, i think hellfire just being sarcastic in his blog.

It is ok to state pros and cons as long as it is fact.

Let me analyze hellfire cons based on my own opinion and usage

1. No Auto focus assist light... -> this is really a pain of a$$ for me and the biggest doubt to my purchase
2. No build in flash.. -> it is important whn go clubing or yumcha, but if go out for travel, it doesn't matter as i'll use FL36 anyway. if street shoot, i won't use flash. Understandable due to the size reduction of EP1
3. No viewfinder.. -> I can live with it. If i want it, the only reason is to reduce power consumption from LCD
4. No remote wireless commander.. -> not an issue for me, i dun shoot wireless
5. Not much m4/3 lens available.. -> not an issue for me, no $ to buy anyway i'll buy that panny 45-200 or just use back my 45-150 MK1 FT
6. No matching pouch at the moment.. -> dun like use pouch, love to let it naked
7. Not cheap -> True, i think fair value should be 2200-2300, if too cheap will eventually kill their own entry E-series DSLR
8. Resolution of LCD not the highest in industry.. -> higher is good, but sometimes higher made the picture in LCD looks much nicer than on PC, i admit that I fooled by nice LCD from the DSLR i have previously If i want to request, i would rather have rotating LCD instead but it will also increase the size of EP1
9. No build in GPS.. -> not even in my mind at all
10. No buildin wireless card... -> not even in my mind at all

String, do u find the clip(use to attach the strap) get on the way u hold the camera?

I try and abit uncomfortable as it block my palm.

Most probably I'll just use back my Optech strap that I used on DSLR previously. It is better than normal strap to distribute weight.
Handstrap is a good idea but not sure any handstrap that compatible with EP1 or not currently.

I really found the clip placement odd, it did get on my way how I hold camera normally, unless i change my holding style, else i feel my palm pain.

Well, nothing is perfect I think

Hey string, i saw this

60sec, same as most DSLR.

Should be set to BULB mode as well.

fanboi

I only will give it 6.5/10

lol, sarcasm?

U recommend in Olympus thread wor

should be hidden like LX3

Expensive meh?

USD900 (RM3100) with 20mm f1.7 pancake.

The 20m f1.7 alone already cost around 1k.

I lost my interest on E-P1 when i tested the AF

I agreed on Panasonic not having enough units to ship. It might even delay for 2-3months before coming here, just like the GH1.
Dam those Panasonic sales.

G1 and GH1 are not well known in Malaysia but this GF1 might changed it judging from the hot reception of E-P1 here.

E-P1 with 17mm going for RM2600 here, and the USD900 is Amazon price, might be listed for 2800-2900 street price in Malaysia when it reached here so i don't really see it being labeled as expensive unless u labeled E-P1 being expensive as well.

In body IS is useful when u want to use alot different lenses which i dun see a need for me. Most important for me is this GF1's AF speed can be as fast as G1/GH1 which E-P1 failed terribly.

Panasonic mFT 45-200mm or Olympus FT 45-150mm with adapter
