sorry, dunno u talk about LX3..haha

Funny ... after received my GF1 from Panny, the website still not remove my winning item. Maybe can buy again?



Even their order list is still in pending. Their system is a bit sucky.

BTW guys, just quoted from iamsobloodysick:

View Finder for GF1 - RM600
20mm F/1.7 lens - RM1380
45-200mm f/4-5.6 - RM1380

Hohoho ... time to save money for Xmas present.

Yeah..definately...i bought the 20mm f1.7 at Rm1380 too! wonderful & fun lense.

Yes I bought from the forumer here. Very nice guy and fast dealing too!

The 20mm is great for low-light, sharp all-round, very decent bokeh and just feel nice for street photography & walk-about every day lense that matches my E-P1 perfectly.

just carry with your 14-42 or 14-45mm and you are ready to go! :-)

want to know FL36 selling at RM500, is it good deal?

Got it from online, final price at RM 480. 
previous owner rarely use and still in very good condition.

finally got a flash for my E-P1. 

This is from the EP-2's Diorama filter effect right? Very nice la, looks like miniature model.

Yeah i like the diorama effect 2

iso1600

you guys miss this too! yummy
most of my shot that day all 1000+ above cause i din use flash..

yup AF - no magical improvement...

but the AF is good for most type of shots..go try it out

or better still shoot HD video and screen shot from it. it will still be HD photo!!

GF1 is like cheating..before u press anything the camera already pre focus. the moment u click the shutter button that why u feel faster..

EP1 /2 will not trigger AF unless u press the shutter that why slower.

anyway the so call slowness can be ignore. pre focus is the key to get any good shot..maybe if got chance i will show shoot f1 or japan gt using ep1

The LX3 can actually have good image quality even at higher ISOs provided exposure is optimum. If you have an external flash, it'll definitely help out a lot. I've done an ISO comparison with Metz 36 flash and can get acceptable image quality all the way to ISO800.

Regarding apertures, I've always confused myself with the F2-2.8 of LX3. Whether is it effective F2-2.8 for LX3's sensor size (equivalent when compared to 35mm format) or it is actually closer to F3.5, 4 or even higher when compared to 35mm format. Because the LX3's smaller sensor size would be harder to 'make' bokehs than a large sensor size.

However as a general guideline, a larger sensor is the way to go. A larger surface can capture more light than a smaller one. I'm sure everyone knows by now. You'll definitely be able to derive higher shutter speeds. On my LX3, even at F2 @ ISO400, I can only get as much as 1/30sec shutter speed while a proper DSLR with a F2 lens can get upwards of 1/50sec. See the difference? Of course, ignore other conditions for the sake of discussion. Also the resultant shutter depends on a lot of factors like optics, effective aperture, etc.

When it comes to image quality, a lot comes into play. As long as a lens is properly and optimally matched to a sensor, it doesn't really matter what size it should be. We should also talk about resolving power of a lens to a sensor. Obviously with the exception to SNR due to reasons we have previously mentioned above. However, we're talking about LX3 vs the GF1. I think its a no brainer. GF1 for sure.

IMHO, it would be nicer without the vignetting effect
