Wow ... Yamiya is selling the G2 twin-lens kit (14-42mm + 45-200mm) for RM3,752.00, so tempted to sell my GF1 kit and buy this. drool.gif

Haha .. just tempted to play around with it la .. rumor says Panny's coming out GF2 and moarrrr !! brows.gif

I'll still be using mFT for sure but just thinking wan to switch a new body (for a change) tat's all. laugh.gif

Oh btw .. just checked the size of the G2 and GF1 is about the same just the form factor looks like a DSLR, but much smaller of coz. rolleyes.gif
*
size should be almost the same. But I believe G2 with EVF and stuff will be easier to handle for greater photography
experience. GF1 is more like casual shooter.

i use 14-42 kit lens for e-p2..

1. select scene mode
2. choose panorama
3. set focal to 25mm (we need to choose the least barrel distortion setting..at 14 is wide but the distortion also greater..)
4. shoot from left to right
5.go back open olympus viewer 2 (f.o.c)
6. Choose panorama function and select the foto u have taken.
7. click stitch
8. crop out unwanted stuff
9. mission accomplish..

I hate Olympus panorama mode. Why don't they have previous frame shown when taking the next frame? Stupid ler...

E-PL1 1 lens is:
Product Dimensions: 2.8 x 4.5 x 1.6 inches ; 3 pounds

damn Olympus for not releasing firmware to have diorama effect for E-P1. Else, they can have the effect for
Olympus Master 2 if they can't put into the camera. Olympus cheating us early adopter. I hate Olympus!!!

Next purchase - FL36R, for the R part biggrin.gif

ooo0oo.. you're lucky that E-PL1 support the R part. My E-P1 don't support anything at all...

By the way, FL-36R is a bit slow. After flash, need to wait because it use 2 battery. Nissin
466 is 2x faster and it support R too!!!

Eh 466 got R ke? O.o

http://www.nissindigital.com/en/di466_ft.html

Not sure if its the same R or not because it is wireless:
QUOTE
DUAL PROGRAM WIRELESS REMOTE FLASH
The wireless remote flash system of Di466 works for either analogue (single flash) and digital (pre-flash) flash systems. Variable power in six steps is available.
Place the Di466 off the camera and the flash synchronizes with the master flash placed on your camera. This wireless remote flash system is called slave flash technology and is often used for a creative lighting efficiency.
Use the camera's built-in flash, the manufacturer's original flash, or Di466 as the master flash. Place one or more Di466 flash units away from the camera.
Off-camera flash photography offers a different lighting configuration.
Use multiple Di466 flash units to achieve professional flash techniques.

Jst pre-ordered the olympus leather brown bag. Can't find elsewhere cheaper than yamiya (RM159) retail bout RM250.

Shall I keep the Di466? Hmmm...since oledi burnt the $. Still no time test for portrait with external flash.

Still funding for the 20mm 1.7 fast lens to complete my goals. hehehe.

so now no sharpness complain already? kekeke...

Hope you enjoy your leather brown bag....

I think you should keep Di466 since you already buy it. Very useful if plan to do wireless flash photography and
bounce flash... its really nice one...

They have mixed up with product pricing,in which
Olympus Leather Carry All Bag for Pen Digital Camera (Brown) was previously listed as RM158 yesterday.

But after 2 days my order was placed, they sent me an email stated it was their mistake they mix up the picture and pricing.

Of course, I am looking for refund. (Actually I think I can do more..)

yamiya sucks. If Dell, they'll honor their mistake.

Last year my company bought two lappies from Dell Malaysia, forgot what model and spec. Story is something like this, they ordered CPU C2D 2.66GHz, but after 1+ month didn't come, so they called Dell, reason no stock for CPU. Then ask if can accept lower CPU 2.00GHz, but then no refund. doh.gif

Any news about upcoming olympus pen model?? i sold my GF1 after owned it for 5 months.. just like wat other said.. i only can get around 75% of sharp photos while other are blur and not sharp..kinda disapointed..even using Auto mode also not much different.. haiih.. and also kena poison by olympus pen's colour! so decided to move to olympus! tongue.gif and i dun hope the case like after i get gf1, then epl1 announced in the next week.. really  vmad.gif

I think due to handshake.

e-pl1 is quite cheap now. Good deal. But since there's NEX from Sony, Panasonic and Olympus is coming out with new model very soon.
Stay tune. But really, if u need camera now, E-pl1 is good. Else, wait... or u can see see NEX...


Added on May 20, 2010, 11:32 pmBut i think u won't go for NEX since got no Body Stabilizer..keke

Is the extenal flash necessary for Olympus E-PL1??? The built-in Flash good enough when taking indoor or night photo>? Anyone can advice? Planning to get one too. Nissin flash or Olympus flash are good?
*
flash is very important.... especially indoor...
with the built in flash, it's sometimes too harsh and fake...
you can work around by putting a diffuser in front...

The reason we need external flash is because we can do flash bounce, fire the flash to wall or ceiling and bounce
back to your subject... that way, it'll be very nice... looks real.. not too harsh...

There's more usage of external flash... but u can start by using ur internal flash correctly... but if you have the budget,
get a bigger flash like Metz 48 which is cheaper than FL-50r... smile.gif

Thanks for the info.
Temporary now can't afford such expensive flash. What about Nissin DI622?
*
dun have Nissin di622 for m43 camera.. only lower range di466 which is quite good... coz can bounce also... shot
to shot also fast... coz 4 battery... and its small enough for m43 camera.... and di466 also have wireless... great
stuff if u plan to utilize flash for off the body shooting.. u go and google wireless flash and stuff... its fun!!!

metz48 and fl-50r is large... not really compatible with m43.. tongue.gif

QUOTE(Wuahaha @ May 21 2010, 10:47 AM)
Too chocolate and dark ? Maybe wrong WB ? With some color refining .. it should be ok. hmm.gif

But the truth is GF1 does product more natural color overall. wink.gif Most people said you need to shoot RAW and PP to get the best out of it. doh.gif
*
i dunno about u.. i feel m43 user is not those who want to PP and shooting raw...

and for color, i think maybe GF1 can set some colors... to match Olympus...

I for one, shoot RAW exclusively with my GF1 and post-process it with Adobe Lightroom. Why?

1. RAW output for GF1 is much better than its JPEG output
2. Better control on the mood and setting of the subject
3. Better control on the dynamic range
4. Better noise reduction, I could still shoot ISO1600 and improve it via PP

I agree why most people prefer to shoot JPEG, but it's a matter of habit I think... PP is just an extra step of the whole photography process to me tongue.gif
*
You just imply we're lazy..!!! hehehe...

Anyway, GF1 user mostly come from dSLR user and Olympus user mostly come from P&S. Oppss... run away now.... kekeke

Hey guys, I found this promo from Olympus and I was wondering if that's the market price for an EPL1. I thought it's a little cheaper than that (from the first post). Is this worth it or I can find cheaper prices elsewhere? I don't need any extra lenses for now, just the basic model. Have to save $$$, poor student here lol.  hmm.gif

BTW anyone checked out the new Olympus store in Mid Valley? Any nice promotion stuff?  rclxms.gif

Should be cheaper bro... i think for single kit lens, around RM2099...

By the way, should I sell 14-42mm and get 9-18mm? tongue.gif

Hmm...I guess u can get cheaper somewhere else if you don't need the free gifts of the olympus. As for me, I am in urgent and it is the only shop offered me with 0% for Citibank so no choice lor...

Try get 2 lens package as u may sell off the zoom lense (depends luck) as the standalone lense may cost RM1k over.

erm, probably u get a lot of free stuff... without free stuff.. its 2099 to 2299 like tat I heard...
