sony NEX and samsung NX have larger sensor size than m43.

the body size is still maintain at m43 size.

Problem with big sensor is that you'll need bigger lens too.

Not exactly, but I'm m43 lover that's for sure. tongue.gif

Just kinda disappointed with Pana's features, pricing and late shipping issues. shakehead.gif

Looks like there are no major reasons for me to upgrade my 1yr++ old GF1 ... yet rolleyes.gif

ya lor... it's not like they don't have the tech. GH2 sensor into GF1 body will be nice.

Of course there are. I myself is one of them. But I find nowadays people talk more about gears rather than getting out there and use their cameras.

No offence intended. Since GF2 and E-PL2 are the new models, their repective owners should contribute more by posting photos they have taken.

Hey guys.. I m a newbie in photography. I m struggling between EPL-1 n GF2 now. I went to a shop to seek advice from the assistant. He told me that EPL-1 has more range of lens to change compared to GF-2. But the GF-2 has this touchscreen that is really attractive n seems easier to use. Any comment?

The fella trying to con you tongue.gif

Olympus and Panasonic micro four thirds are interchangeable. So how can say which has more lens?

Olympus does have in-body stabilization so whatever non-m43 lens you mount can be stabilized too but I don't think this is your goals right?

I think he's just trying to get rid of old E-PL1 stocks since the E-PL2 is conclusively better but on the same hand, the GF2 is arguably so-so (the GF1 are still very much in demand.... in fact GF1 price in Taiwan has increased lately!! )

I just spamming la tongue.gif

Noctilux is Leica M mount manual focus that can be adapted for M43 though the lens cost around RM38K (nope... there's no dot in between)

There's a version of the Summilux (25mm Leica) for Panasonic and the Nokton is native m43 manual focus. Both can be had around RM3K.

Hi guys, I just bought WHITE Di466 and it works awesome ly with my E-P1.

Both Di466 and E-P1 is white color which is awesome.

Now I can use 14-42mm at 42mm at f/5.6 with ISO 200 indoor. AWESOME.

I should've bought it earlier. But I can't find in shop. When I found 1 in
shop yesterday, straight get it. But at marked up price at RM420.

I think normal price is RM360 or lower sad.gif I kena conned RM60.

hahaha, but this is real white knight. Anyway, still the package still ok la. smaller than my 1000d + 85mm f/1.8 + Di622.
Tonight or this weekend ya...

Yalor, I hate the fact that a flash cannot swivel. Its really bad. I might blind someone if I point it sideway without rotating
it in front. scary.. must careful not using flash at sideway.

I use indoor still ok for 42mm. This flash is rated guide number 33m power. 4 battery. So recycle still quite fast.

Buy flash cable lo.. cheap cheap... bounce wherever u want with some 2 handed action.

sniper do you got micro 4/3 camera? which one u r using?

I looking for EPL-2 how if it compared to GF-1 , my brother owned a gf-1, i feel GF-1 is betterĀ  ><" , GF-2 is not much upgrade from GF-1 (not so significant).


Added on March 10, 2011, 1:48 pmforgot to say with pancake 20mm , i like wide

I don't own one tongue.gif

Though I got access to GF1, NEX3, NEX5, E-PL2 nearly everyday... it's a double-edged sword to be working in an office filled with camera freaks.

Arguably, E-PL2 color, IBIS yada yada makes a "better" camera but for strictly mojo/kimochi/solid-piece-of-freakin-metal feel... GF1+20mm is best.

No experience with this but won't using something equivalent to 300mm @ min f/5.6 be unstable (even with stabilization) if hand held and using viewfinder for framing? hmm.gif

I dunno about Malaysia lar.... but no way in hell they're going to allow tripod/monopod inside a concert.

Besides... even assuming using tripod, it's still too slow to get fast enough shutter speed to catch a concert action (unless its a piano recital tongue.gif) right? Taken into account m43's disadvantage in high ISO.

Added on March 11, 2011, 11:50 amwait, oly is 17mm, pana is 20mm, which one is more cost effective?

20mm better lar... besides its legendary status in the m43 crowd. It's also a little over a full stop faster so you can use ISO800 instead of ISO1600 (calat) to capture the same thing.

You can use your kitzoom for those wide shots mar... which you have to stop down anyways.
