No mode dial? Bundled f/2.5 is too slow for my purpose... actually the 20mm f1.7 is the only interesting thing for m43 for me.... the look is like a GF1+LX5 anak luar nikah and call it gut feel (we'll know in some hours)... but it feels as though its a rush job to compete with NEX head on.... which is stupid as it's still m43 vs APS-C (and a good one) sensor.
The GF1 always have a leica-like appeal to it.. but GF2 from first look... is like a typical consumer camera.
@sniper...patient lah bro...maybe it's not up to ur expectation yet...maybe there will be another killer announcement...i thought there will be built in EVF...but where is it?my poor man rangefinder??
The reason I said that is that maybe I expected too much from Panasonic (like as in not raping the reputation of GF1).
In the 43rumors site poll... 63% voted that they won't buy the GF2. That's even more hate than when the NEX was announced
In the meantime (looks like its gonna be quite some time), I'll still have to lug my dslr around.

I just got my white GF1 last 2 weeks ago when I'm in Japan. 20mm pancake set only cost me 40000Yen (u do the math and convert to RM, u will get surprise hehe)... although the menu in JP but I can read JP so that's not an issue for me
now its time to source for 14-45mm...
Yeah.. thats super cheap.
Taiwan a bit more.. about RM1.66K for body + pancake. A lot of my collegues now racunning me ... especially after seeing the GF2.
Yea I actually have the same thought when I saw the price.... so I poisoned my friend and end up bought 2 units, white for me and black for him muaahahha.
I predict the GF1 price in Malaysia will continue to slash as well until GF2 launch...
So far from the GF2 spec, doesn't impress me much too. I have not seen any sample shot which shows the High ISO handling yet.
Not high res but there's some pics on the site below.
