QUOTE(ASAP @ Jul 19 2009, 04:58 PM) I think I am the one who bought the Pen from YL this afternoon, twin kit lens. Bought it expensive cause they think they have the only unit in KL. Anyway, I bought the camera and the flash. Use it mainly for traveling and when I do not feel like carrying my A900 along. Were you the guy I met? Cause I spoke to the guy about his camera. |

Somehow, I believe this camera is more for casual use. Fast action photography is definitely not an area for this camera.

QUOTE(miniacs @ Jul 28 2009, 05:47 AM) 2 images from my trip to France. Both taken using the Olympus PEN, I am new in photography so please dont bantai me so much... It's too small to judge anything in particular. But it does look like the first photo is underexposed because of backlighting.This picture is taken at Bedoin which is the last town before the climb to Mt Ventoux. It was such a hot day, I was carrying the camera in bike bag and I got to cycle 55km to get to this town from my hotel.  This picture is taken yesterday in Paris city itself the last stage of Tour De France. Sorry that I couldnt any closer to the riders, I was late to get to the race.  . |

I am keen for Panasonic's official announcement. But I think for styling, olympus wins hands down.

QUOTE(navilink @ Aug 18 2009, 11:07 PM) something big.. hmm could be buying diamond rings for ur fiancee? It would be about the Panasonic GF-1. well i'm not sure why u want to sell if off, maybe to cover some cost? calvin what's the official annoucement by panasonic about? It's gonna give Pen a run for its money. Stay tuned here. Maybe announced on 1st of Sept. The selling point for me would be built-in flash and the possibility of an optional electrical viewfinder (EVF). I believe at some point, I would still use flash than just high iso.

QUOTE(gogo2 @ Aug 24 2009, 08:00 AM) perfect I'd give 9/10. It lacks flash. And if the GF1 has electronic viewfinder, I'd give it 8/10. |

The E-P1's esthetics just makes people fall in love with the design. For the GF1 it's the specs.

QUOTE(seaotter @ Sep 6 2009, 12:25 AM) You dont. But you do? That is the case of you screw the camera to the lens - not screw the lens to the camera hahaha    BTW, Panasonic is releasing its 100-300mm lens next year, along with the fisheye and 14mm pancake. SO i can bet the 100-300 lens is at LEAST 40% smaller than the equivalent 4/3 lens. And we have yet to see what olympus has store for the system.  |

QUOTE(gogo2 @ Oct 18 2009, 11:24 PM) http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-FD-lens-to-Panas...#ht_3271wt_1166 You mean the Lumix G Vario 14 - 45 mm F3.5 - F5.6 is no good at all? I was hoping to get wide angle zoom.This come with aperture ring... you read the link...it said: Go ahead. A lot of good review with GF1. Its the best and smallest. The AF performance almost same like dSLR... good luck in getting it though. I see people having problem getting it with 20mm f/1.7 lens... (don't get the other kit lens...its not as good as 20mm f/1.7) |

QUOTE(maxxspeed @ Nov 1 2009, 10:39 PM) does GF1 has good image stablalizer ? It doesn't have IS built into the body. IS can be found in its lens such as the 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens. |

The GF1 is out of stock/backordered in most reputable US online retailers. Was considering to get one since the EP-2 is nothing spectacular.
