most of the shop will be out of stock for ep1 single or twin.ETA will be mid august.around 50 unit of ep1 will be demo for pcfair,thats y they dint have stock.

Hi, can anyone point me in the direction of a zoom lense for the ep1?

I got the pancake set as the twin lense set and zoom lense was out of stock. So I am now looking for a zoom lense.

Ugh. Brought along my Pen to PCFair today.
Took some paradox pic (My Pen taking a picture of a girl with a Pen taking a picture of me with a Pen).

Then disaster broke - i lost my lenscap

Went back to the shop i bought my E-P1 to order some new lenscap.

Guys, need recommendations. External flash, that is preferably, compatible with the Oly E-P1 AND Panny GH1. Got my GH1 well below the atrocious pricetag quoted in Malaysia.

The Metz Mecablitz flash recommended earlier looks good, price/size/performance ratio-wise. I'd like to avoid FL-50 size if I can, but am not totally disregarding it as a possible choice. Panny flashes are just simply too expensive for me.

Sorry for the previous mention of me providing access to E-P1 sample pictures, and not providing them promptly. Something important is happening in my life that I've decided against lingering in LYN forum as frequent as before. Nevertheless I see that even without these samples, that two prospective buyers have crossed over and purchased it anyway.

Apprecuare the flash recommendations, thank you in advance.

Yes, the Metz Mecablitz 36 is quite widely available and cheap. However, it cannot do swivel.. only vertical bounce. For this reason, one of the members around here suggest the Falcon Eye but availability is scarce. Mecablitz 41 also can swivel but size is big. Falcon Eye is GN30+ with full swivel and bounce. He's still looking for one. Also, I believe its on sale at the garage section. Try a guy named Mitmivec (Garage Sale section). He seem to be able to source a lot of these things.

You can checkout the flash performance over at LX-3 (no other intentions ). I wrote a lengthy recommendation and some test pictures over there. Its page 102.

Welcome back!
SO, will you be able to post up your sample pictures here?

Why is it that everywhere I look they only have White body + silver lens? And correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this setup uses white body AND white lens?



I'm going to australia soon, does anybody know if they have white body and white lens there?

dude, the pic IS showing white body + silver lens.
There's only two kits for it - silver body + black lens or white body + silver lens.

why no white lens :S

You can always spray paint the silver lense...

eh actually i was thinking of doing that. would there be any issues? i believe the lens are more less air tight, so if I cover the glass part it wouldn't be an issue right? whaddaya think?

or would it be better to take the lens apart, if that's even possible?

1. It will be almost the exact same dimensions as the EP1. “E-P1 is 121mm (W) x 70mm (H) x 36mm (D), 119X71X36.3mm for the GF1.”
2. It will have a pop-up flash.
3. It does not have an EVF but it appears that an external one can be used.
4. It has a dedicated movie record button on the top right of the camera.
5. It has HDMI output.
6. It uses the AVCHD- Lite format which means 720p(1280x720) but we don’t know the frame rate.
7. It has a single mono microphone on the top of the camera.
8. It will have 20/1.7 and 45/2.8 macro lenses available. However, we don’t know if they will be bundled with the camera.
9. It has a hot shoe.
10. It has a widescreen LCD.
11. It does not have in body image stabilization.

I wonder if B substitute with 11 is a good thing. Got flash but lose body IS. Some
prime don't have IS.

AVCHD-lite is a good thing too. Can take video with smaller size.

strong rival gona appear soon ......
GF-1 ..... i m waiting ....hehe

avclite and mono? haih. here you have >10 megapixel cam but for video use crappy format. do not want!

i still want the built-in VF
