just for your info....iinm samsung working on a mirrorless SLR using APS-C sensor...

That's what I say ler... pro with DSLR will only get the E-P1 with a pancake lens for portability and convenience. To stand in for their compacts. Other lenses and accessories are non-priority items. It not like they are gonna get another system or replace their existing DSLR. It's like "I'm going to a party/clubbing and I don't wanna lug my DSLR around so the E-P1 (with pancake lens) will do as I can carry it in my pocket." kinda thing. Not like - "I am into landscape/sports/wedding photography and I don't like big DSLR... so I am gonna get the E-P1 instead!"

If the market is that large, the G1 and the GH1 would have exploded ler before the E-P1. The G1 is the first micro-four thirds system camera in the market and it has an electronic viewfinder too, which the E-P1 lacks. Not to mention a fully articulating LCD!

maybe i can be the sample 

i'm the one who "like to travel but dun want to carry a big ass camera, like to yumcha without a attention seeker big ass camera but still want better quality than compact" and "occasionally like the flexibility of changing to longer lens for event purpose like concert and candid shots"

and i think this camera is the perfect partner for ppl that like to blog 

Yeah, E-P1 is quite expensive since its just introduced. And furthermore, price drop will be slow because of the demand is high.

But I don't dig 17mm f/2.8 anymore. Because 20mm f/1.7 has come out:



Imagine fast lens in small body 

I agree with harry. SLR is not the only way to enjoy photography. I use all kinds of cameras n I do enjoy photography very much. Even old ancient film cameras are fun for me.
Can work oso pointless mar. FL-14 is most likely GN14 as most times they name it after GN power. The LX3 already has a GN11 built in flash so it'll be pretty pointless to buy a GN14 flash.
The 1599 package is pretty yummy. Well worth the 300 for the 17mm + VF.

goldfries, if I am not mistaken, Panasonic used to have a full size DSLR (aps-c). I was not famous at all... they probably had one model I think.

wish olympus had chosen to put in an evf. dat will make it an true contender.
the omission of a build in flash is still acceptable but without a viewfinder... it might be a little harder to do manual focussing.

launched in KL ka? went to all shops in one utama and curve also say dun have the funniest thing is that they dont even know that it exist heheheh

Anyway, it's NOT a dSLR

this camera is exp..it's gonna sell at around Rm3.7k according to star newspaper

They're even advertising this camera on Fly FM now.

will be available next week and the street price for single lens will be rm2600,double lens will be rm3300

Thanks for the price list 

I wonder whether the adapter compatible on G1 or not 

Any idea when and how much Olympus and Panasonic gonna release their own respective tele?

Actually got black E-P1 but why aren't they selling it in black?
I found this pic of it. 

This is so much nicer than the silly white n silver combos.

hows the EP1 looks like if match it up wif an adaptor and the 25mm f1.4 leica ya? poisoning. how i wish oly only sell EP-1 body thn i can straight go for some pancake lens.

Btw guys, where i can found the real product in KL ya? lowyat? wanna to moles it. 

Malu lah. I dont want to bring out the trolls. Private exhibition perhaps? I'll pass you the password to the gallery later. Need more pointers from you also.

true la. hopefully e-p2 will be even smaller and come with built in flash
