QUOTE(liyonglim @ Jun 19 2010, 11:09 AM) Hi guys, sorry to interfere this tread a little. Actually I'm on my way in getting a M43rd as well. Saw u guys recommending E-PL1, btw by comparing E-P2 and E-PL1, I guess E-P2 is a better buy wouldn't it? E-P2 comes with an EVF, EVF already cost about RM900. Let's say an E-P2 cost about RM3200 with 14-42 / 17mm. Minus the EVF, it actually cost RM2300. Wouldn't it a good buy than E-PL1? What do you guys think? It comes down to whether you want the built-in flash and smaller body of E-PL1. Other stuff is better for E-P2. |

QUOTE(DjKenji @ Jun 19 2010, 04:35 PM) should we opening another thread for m43 photo album collection, Erm, there's a photo album sub section. You can open a photo album.. suppose to poisoner.  but u can post here also la..kekeQUOTE(Bliz @ Jun 19 2010, 05:51 PM) EPL1 built quality is not really good IMHO, i rather spend a bit more on EP1 since i don't use the flash Well, some people don't really care about build quality. They would rather get the flash... and cheaper... well different people have different needs... kekeke QUOTE(dadurtyz @ Jun 19 2010, 06:28 PM) help me choose, E-PL1 or GF1? im not into professional photographer, just want for daily use with SLR image quality and use for traveling, which suit me best? From review, best image is from E-PL1. You can check review in dpreview.com.my friends all advise me to get GF1, but the price would be around 1k more than E-PL1, image quality between this 2model which one is the best? I would think you should get E-PL1. First, it has stabilizer body. Second its cheaper. You will not regret getting E-PL1 because its really great for the price...should beRM2100~RM2200.... |

QUOTE(obee @ Jun 19 2010, 07:25 PM) hahaha.. i've always liked gogo2's comments.. i'll be picking up the E-PL1 soon. just have to wait for the damn bonus to come lol.. my E-P1 is white... I hope there's more selection like champagne gold when I bought it though... current question, white or champagne gold? QUOTE(kimi @ Jun 19 2010, 08:23 PM) reporting in - just got back from singapore - mission accomplished - got my pana 20mm and a crumpler 2MD bag congratzflying out from singapore u get to claim the gst thus pana 20mm I got for sgd524, and the crumpler bag from the camera store was a tad cheaper too compare to crumpler official outlet price QUOTE(frequency @ Jun 19 2010, 10:14 PM) any comment on this tripod? cheap tripod like this is ok for normal usage. Cheap tripod means its not stable. If got big wind, maybe not stable. MightRM88 oni  the leg is extendable have shake etc.But its great for travel because its quite small... QUOTE(dadurtyz @ Jun 19 2010, 10:50 PM) Yeah, but i just love the body compact size GF1 Erm, I thought Image Quality of E-PL1 beat GF-1 and E-P2? I heard JPEG from E-PL1 is the best from E-LP1 look very plastic, but the price difference very high, my friends racun me to get GF1 bcz image quality almost E-P2 i also fall in love with GF1 now with pancake lens. how to decide, arghhhh PEN series. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But if you love GF1, please stop listening to me. You need to buy the stuff you like. Else, you'll keep on regretting after buying E-PL1. Haha.. For a non-pro like me, E-PL1 is greater value la.. coz got image stabilizer mah. Can stabilize 20mm f/1.7.. QUOTE(liyonglim @ Jun 19 2010, 10:51 PM) Btw guys, EVF EF-2. I'm a specky guys. Will there be any limitation of using this EVF if i'm wearing a spec? I think you have to go try it yourself. According to spec, got diopter adjustment for people wearing spec.thanks So, you can go try if the adjustment can make you feel better with and without glass. |

QUOTE(frequency @ Jun 21 2010, 12:51 AM) Haha going midvalley for my gym every weekend and drop by for trying luck. But I have found my source to get cheaper pancake now You need to change the display mode with a green box. now just thinking which filter to go. Possibly ll get Panasonic filter as well. Btw, anyone try manual focus on EPL1. I just read the manual, with MF Assist on, while u rotate the the ring, it will auto magnify the image for precise focus. I have switch mine to MF mode and try rotate (either clock wise, anti clock wise) it seems nothing change... anything wrong? |

QUOTE(frequency @ Jun 21 2010, 10:49 AM) try SAF+MF and MF as well. Seems no response.... erm.. probably E-PL1 different from E-P1? Probably you just need to press this button and it'll magnify... Magnified live view mode gains its own (easily accessed) button, making it quick to check fine focus with manual focus lenses. This acts as a toggle - pressing a second time returns to the normal display. Unfortunately though, you still can't activate the IS in magnified view, to aid focusing long lenses.

QUOTE(davidmak @ Jun 21 2010, 03:00 PM) Nice! So will this 25mm F1.4 be equivalent to 50mm F2.8 when it is coupled onto m43 camera? Or it doesn't work that way? LoL! wait, I just write the 25mm f/1.4 is the spec you want... not that it will really come out... sorry for the misunderstanding...and i heard aperture does not follow conversion too as the post above..."P |

QUOTE(razkal @ Jun 21 2010, 03:22 PM) The aperture would not become 2.8 but stays at 1.4 as the light gathering capability for the lens is still the same. However the DOF will become the same 2.8 as in the full frame camera and the focal length will multiply by 2 (50mm). The pana-leica 25mm f1.4 four third lens is really an expensive lens IMHO. I wish olympus or pana will make a micro 43 version for it. you're right... article here explain more:http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/techn...digitaldof.html |

QUOTE(razkal @ Jun 21 2010, 03:27 PM) A pic to demonstrate how the DOF of four third lens 50mm f2.0 will become 100mm f4 as in full frame camera. what if the lens distance and sensor is shorter? will the aperture also affected? |

QUOTE(joeong @ Jun 21 2010, 04:03 PM) ohhh... i think its very complicated discussion. you cannot compare different lens... i think the answer to whether depth of fieldi may be wrong but i initially thought and was told that the only diff in m4/3 was the double focal lenght. the main reason why the panny 20mm f1.7 lens has such beautiful creamy bokeh was because its a f 1.7 lens another angle which im coming from is, just compare the bokeh of a full frame 50mm f1.8 to a 20mm f1.7 and you will notice similar results in DOF and bokeh. the aperture doesnt become smaller just because of the smaller m4/3 sensors and distance to sensor! (i think) lol is affected or not by cropped lens, is by saying that it is depend on the design on the camera and lens. |

QUOTE(frequency @ Jun 21 2010, 09:37 PM) arrrrghhhh... omg... Confirm my 14-42mm lens focus is defect. Tested with other lens in the shop, the MF works perfect...  Hospitalized (duno how long gona take) Is it the sign my 20mm coming..? luckily you check.. hope you get your lens back soon... last time I send back my lens is becauseI make some mistake by pulling out USB cable while updating firmware. Cost me RM50 for this. But thelens I got back in 3 days... (they need to send from Penang to KL). I think you'll get it very fast since you're in KL... or of course, u can buy your 20mm now..keke QUOTE(jacklsw86 @ Jun 21 2010, 10:58 PM) hmm. considering to get one zoom lens for my GF1 in near future. anybody has panny 45-200mm lens or 14-140mm lens? the superzoom lens 14-140 is almost same price as i bought my GF1+pancake. @_@ I got 70-300mm.

QUOTE(iamsobloodysick @ Jun 22 2010, 11:11 AM) i have canon DSLR camera and GF1, both dont have inbody IS too but its on the lens. What he meant is that for tele lens, without IS on lens, its a problem. Your Canon dSLR sure gotso far i dont find any problem in capturing pictures. in-lens IS for tele one ler... Just for clearer picture: Tele lens = zoom lens example is 70-300mm, 50-200mm For body without IS, they need 70-300mm OIS, 50-200mm OIS For body with IS, example, olympus, they need 70-300mm non-OIS, 50-200mm non-OIS Added on June 22, 2010, 11:52 amMicro Four Thirds Gallery is up!!!
