pancake often refer to :

17mm F2.8 from Olympus

or

20mm F1.7 from panasonic

nickname of these 2 fixed focal lens because of its size.

Hi guys, Im considering buying a EP2 silver with 14-42 (no EVF, but got free some cleaning kit, no SDHC as well). The price quoted is RM2k with 1 yr international warranty. do you think its a worth buy?

i havent checked this thread for a super long time already...
now ep2 only about rm2k!?! sure boh! or isit epl1 u talking about?

ya sure, Im talking about EP2.

early this month when I stopped by in HK airport, the shop are selling EP2 at promotion price, black (no EVF2) + 14-42 + 16gb SDHC + cleaning kit + bag around RM2500 cash or card (after conversion) with 1 yr international warranty. kind of regret that I didnt take that package lo...

now I found another store selling silver one with cheaper but lesser free gift. of course there's some risk because they will be sending to me thru fedex.

so i can consider RM2k is a good price huh? maybe they slash their price due to too many rumors and GH2 launching in photokina ...

It's not weird really... I'm using both a Canon 550D and S90 though the latter is used less and less these days due to the lack of image quality. Don't get me wrong... the S90 (and I suppose the S95/LX5) are great compacts but no matter what, they're still compacts.

I don't own a m43 system but have been lusting for one for a long time and have extensive played with E-PL1 and GF1. They are of course better than the S90 but not significantly enough to justify the size diff imo.

E-PL1 advantage is it has slightly better noise control over the GF1 and in body stabilisation but it feels like a toy... and imho, the control sucks... no dials at all. Even the NEX has a scroll thingy  doh.gif

GF1 on the other hand feels much better, comes with the classic 20mm f1.7 (and in the grey market goods in taiwan is only priced at ~RM1.7K!!!) but the iso800 on it look worse than ISO3200 on my 550D  shakehead.gif

So for me, I opted to wait for:

- Upcoming GF2 to see if they can improve the noise part.
- Zeiss prime for Sony NEX.. should cost a bomb though
- Fuji X100.

the price for GF1 in Japan really tempting... RM1.7k too with pancake... drool.gif

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 tongue.gif

now its time to source for 14-45mm...

also very cheap... i tot the pancake already cost rm1k and above...

so the body is rm300~400 only...

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.
