Not really, but some post-processing work in Adobe Lightroom

How much did you get it for? GH1 has been the king of Micro Four Thirds till now

There isn't much people in Malaysia using non-native lens with adapter (except a couple of forumers I've come across)... my suggestion is you could try one of these groups in Flickr

I hope it helps

I think EP2 would be a good choice... if you're taking the bundled viewfinder into consideration

With the LCD on or off?

I usually don't 100% drain the battery before charging, so don't know how long GF-1 battery can last, but I guess it should be around 380 shots with LCD on, as per the Spec

Hmmm, the spec suggests E-P1 battery life should be 300

Olympus must have under-declared it for some reasons

frequency: nice pics!

I don't think so - at least for now NEX is far away from being perfect:

1. Lack of manual controls, for just changing ISO you may need a few presses to navigate thru the menu

2. Big size of lenses - I've no idea why many people are so attracted to the small and thin body, but with APS-C sensor the lenses (especially zoom) will be much bigger compare to a m43 sensor. In term of portability, M43 potential is still bigger than NEX

3. Not everybody likes its adventurous and futuristic design (Mr.LKM for example)

4. M43 has the 1 year+ advantage ahead of NEX. It's a joint venture by Olympus + Panasonic and it's by any chance more mature compare to NEX, for example - 3 lenses from NEX as opposed to 11 lenses from M43 as of now, not to mention M43's endless possibility to use legacy lenses via adapters

To say NEX5 is competing with M43 is right, to use the word "destroy" is an overstatement. At the end of the day, we as the consumers should be happy with the competition of these manufacturers and the choices we have

Edited my comment -kytz- sorry for that

APS-C sensor does directly mean better image quality, but it doesn't mean it will downright beat M43 camera. For example, NX10 doesn't really directly prove that its image quality is superior over Oly/Panny camera

Here's a little comparison between NX10, NEX and E-PL1

My friend told me while it doesn't look ergonomic, the grip is quite stable when you hold it on hand. The shape does look sort of weird though

I think for normal shooters like me I'm happy with GF1 at least for the next 1-2 year

Wait until there's a constant f/2.8 zoom lens

pancake is waiting for you

That's a Panasonic dmw-lmc46 MC filter

I got it second hand from a LYN forumer together with the Lens (lens + filter = RM1200)

But I guess you should be able to get it in major camera shop as it's Panasonic accessory

No problem... it adds quite a bit of thickness to the lens IMO



That's a typical Panasonic price I didn't know that's the price actually. The seller intended to sell me at RM100 I think (I had option to buy with or without the filter), and I thought that was quite expensive already. Anyway I think the quality is pretty good

Forget about 2mdh / 3mdh

My 4mdh is just enough for GF1 with 2 lenses

That's a good deal, where did you get that price?

And no...this lens is only for Micro Four Thirds

Haha, my experience is the quality would never match a true Wide angle/fisheye (just like close-up filter never beats real macro lens). But it's quite affordable if you just wanna have fun

I wasn't that lucky though

Was approached by an uncle in DCIM 2010 (Midvalley) to check-out my GF1.. He said he's interested to get one but it's quite pricey still

Never compare it with 25 f/1.4, but comparing to 14-45mm kit lens, 20mm pancake AF is noticeably slower (but still bearable)

awyongcarl: Splendid details!

I don't take too much pics lately due to WC fever and seldom go outdoor. But a bit sad when England played so bad


(20mm f/1.7, ISO100, ss 0.5s)

Will post in gogo2's M43 gallery thread if i have new pic
