QUOTE(BOTAK_WAI @ Jul 6 2017, 07:18 PM) why not email or call them? I emailed and contacted via fb only. I received replies on both, and also received call from them too. Since xz-1 already discontinued they will try to inspect the SLR, if need change part, they can't do anything. If can repair without change part, will be charged for labour around Rm100. They might be offering me discount for new SLR PEN series if mu xz-1 can't be repaired.

Oh, well, minimum cost would be RM25 for inspection fee and RM12 for return delivery fee plus 6% gst. Max would be RM100-ish. I would like to see if it's repairable or not first. That xz-1 been collecting dust few years already. It was under utilized since I bought it. I bet picture snapped with it, less than 500. I'm a fan of xz-1, if I want similar or better quality of 1.8f, which SLR is recomended?

QUOTE(kamikraze @ Jul 5 2017, 04:34 PM) Anyone ever did self claim warranty from Olympus? I tried to contact Olympus via FB, but no answer just yet. I been to their service center 2 years ago at Mont Kiara for my EM1 replacing the grip. U should try search for their phone number and call them. Faster respond. FB one is more like marketing team handling.

Thanks on your recommendation anyways. Watched some review on both model already. Both are great, too great for me. Now only consider good replacement SLR similar to XZ-1 around 1k pricetag only, as I don't use much of the camera in real life.

QUOTE(COOLPINK @ Jul 11 2017, 02:03 PM) sigma 30mm f1.4 lens since he take portrait and low light mostly. you need double the shutter speed compare with 15mm but f/1.4 aint 1 stop faster than f/1.7. shutter speed aside...it is better to include more background and depth of field for family photo...15mm more suitable in my opinion.
