But surely it will be made with strict adherence to Panasonic's Japanese standards, same like Olympus? Your still having the "made-in-China" phobia? Yet still, quite a bold move by Panasonic?

If not mistaken, G7 also MIC already.

My A7II was in stock and got it next afternoon (payment done in morning)

For FE55mm import set from Japan so I got it within 5 days.

Obviously Keeping costs down has made the Panasonic digital camera section to move to China, otherwise how else to keep our new toys price down

How do we know the import set is from which origin? In my case both also import unit

Olympus a lot of this kind tragedy

but Made in Japan is a quite attractive selling point


I agree Olympus has lot of QC problems, but i think it is design flaw rather than manufacturing country.

I experienced both: My previous E-PL3 made in Vietnam also suffers the screen bezel crack by itself, and E-P3 made in China also has the mode dial not securely attached problem.

from the packaging itself

Lol obviously right

GM5 mostly import from Hong Kong or Singapore. Language selection a bit different where HK set includes Traditional Chinese while Sg set includes Simplified Chinese.

Ok let's see from where once I receive it. And this will be the last camera I'm gonna buy lol spent too much already

Compared to Panasonic yes, Olympus earlier bodies had a few quirks. I had similar problems with mode dial in Ep3 and Em5 that came-off but easily fixed. I also had paint coming-off Ep1 and faulty motherboard that got replaced with a new one. All these happened in earlier bodies.



I didn't had cracks but did experienced mode dial coming-off but easily fixed with a few crops of superglue. It could either be poor QC implementation or inferior material used. A camera (especially DSLR or mirror-less)is a high-end product and one doesn't expect parts to fail easily. Cameras of days passed were built so tough they were referred as tanks! Imagine that!

Guys any good deal for pana 100-300? My mate are looking for good deal or used unit if possible

can 20mm achieve this result?

Why not

must really test out once i get my camera.. wonder if macro mode needed to achieve this shot?

The closest focusing distance of this 20mm f1.7 is 20cm, kindly of close but not consider macro at all

Bro, you poison me edy, very very hard to resist this 34/1.7!! cheaper and better and looks identical to the Kaxinda 35/1.7! The best thing is it can be mounted directly without an adapter to our beloved cam. With postage costs (delivered direct to Malaysian address), it will cost about rmb422 only, way cheaper than the KXD 35/1.7 that costs rmb450 just the lens alone.

Bro, are you going for it?
