anyone know of E-PM1 out dy for msia?? if this VS XZ-1, the E-PM1 still better rite for a USD500... with 14-42 II mFT lens?
i have almost the same dilemma when ep-3 came out as i own the xz-1 currently and still being quite happy with it everyday
i think if compare solely with 4/3 product particularly with kit lens only,both has almost same scores i think in different way
m4/3 cam has good iso performance in relative to xz-1 but if using the slow(narrow aperture) kit lens only,u have to push the iso a lot,while xz-1 couple with outstanding fast lens doesn't require that much raising in iso in low light,even at the long end of the zoom,in the end i think both would be quite near in achieving good photo in all condition,there r other attribute of coz like dynamic range but i don't pay attention to that,of course game changing moment would come when the constant F2.0 x lens come out and assume u would afford it
and remember xz-1 has everything in smaller neater package,its fast enough and much more versatile in difficult condition,which lead me to keep my xz-1 for now
