according to YL Camera (online) it is gonna cost about RM3800

any1 gonna grap it as soon as its available?

I will have to wait a while before investing into this, the price is almost a entry DSLR with lens.. Although I'm a fan of compact for the convenience sack

Called YL Camera just now.

"this one ah.... arrive this month or next month not sure"

"many stock ah? that one i also dono wor"

adoi if they had one in stock i'd buy one or two straight away today

not just NTD 39900 with case/adapter/hood at taiwan ?

NTD$39,990 in Taiwan.  HK$9,380 in HK.

Dilemma purchasing the X100

So these badboys have arrived in some camera shops around Auckland, New Zealand. Can get one for about NZD $1599 (=USD $1181)

This will be my first camera and I will be doing all round shots (street photography, portraits, macro and landscape shots). I was initially looking at a Canon 550D with a prime lens or canon 24-105 L lens. But now I'm leaning towards a smaller camera and easier to carry around but still able to take superb photos. Hence, now my choices are the Panasonic GF2, GF1 + 20mm f1.7 lens, Olympus PEN EPL-2 and Fujifilm Finepix X100.

I am able to get the GF1 + 20mm f1.7 lens kit for about NZD $900 (=USD 664) but thats without the viewfinder though.

I am interested in the X100 because it's newer, comes with large sensor, compact size, reasonable price since it's a competitor to the Leica X1 (or poor man's M9 rather). Given that the GF1 was released in 2009(?), should I be leaning towards newer tech? I am also looking to keep the camera for a long time and not replacing it every year.

Would you top up about USD $300-400 to get the X100 as the price not too significant compared to a GF1 + 20mm + viewfinder which should add up to about USD $800 in total.

GF1 + 20mm f1.7 lens without viewfinder addon = USD $652
GF2 14-45mm kit without viewfinder addon = USD $782
X100 = USD $1171

What are your thoughts?

X100 is nowhere near M9 price and mojo-ness la.
