If getting G2 might as well get EP1 or GF1, G2 is not much smaller than D5000... Picture quality also i bet will be almost the same with GF1/EP1
*
oh ok...
and the price will drop also right?
so its better to opt for gf1 than g2? ok thanks....( 1 thing i love is the articulating lcd tongue.gif )

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.

oh ok thanks...

Camera body will drop with announcement of new models.
Lens seldom drop, or the drop is not significant.

As for learning, google is your best friend or just ask questions here.

thanks...

ic..now i know that pancake cant zoom...hmmm...pancake is that short lense right?

20mm what does it mean? ( sorry )...what's with 14 mm and 20 mmm?

@ y_owez

You might want to read the basics of photography. Search for focal length, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. They will help you a lot.

@ frequency

I am assuming that in Manual mode, you set the shutter speed to be fast. While in the other modes, the shutter speed is slower. That's why you see the camera takes longer to capture. Basically the shutter closes slower in order to capture more light.

Olympus' mirrorless system is proven, and they are already a number of lenses in the Micro Four Thirds line-up (although still lacking). For Sony, it's unproven and you need to wait for at least a couple of months for people to review and may need to wait some time for more lenses to be released.

Anyway, here is my first attempt on Adobe Lightroom partial colouring... comment / criticism welcomed

I found that some (not all) stuff selling on Amazon USA, are much cheaper than those selling in M'sia, even if included with postage fee. Sure is safe to post, but may have warranty issues. rolleyes.gif

sure safe ar??? aiyer.... so scared le..
looking at a price difference of around 300 aud or so i think ( if i got the package same )..so yea..
if can get malaysia why not....easier to get warranty ( can send back to friend to help claim )
no international warranty one ar? ( sorry newbie tongue.gif ).


for a total newbie like me, what is the basic i need? and from where should i get it? website la.can either post to within malaysia , then i get my friend to post to australia to me .

pen ep-l1 body + ??? and viewfinder is the "hole" u look through like in dlsr right?? looks more pro whistling.gif
but what is electronic viewfinder? thanks...

am saving for that or the new sony mirrorless
