Apropos Lowepro bags:
For G3 owners I highly recommend the Lowepro Impulse 110:
http://products.lowepro.com/product/Impulse-110,2136,22.htm
It’s one of the most stylish bag from Lowepro, well compartimented, beautiful and – beside the zipped closure – it features a fast access, magnetic closure too.
Fits G3 and standard zoom perfectly + either a supplementary pancake/legacy lens (leisurely) or even a tele zoom (barely).
And the price of 14 USD (Adorama) it makes really affordable (not sure if still available at this price).
I have one of those for my EPL1, it fits the body,the 20mm, original kit lens and few filters, with available space (more lenses to come :)) and it has been through a lot with few scars, and you can carry it around even at more formal events.. Highly recommended!
The Impulse screams camera bag and the colors are nasty.
The StreamLine has some ugly-ass two-tone white on black or black on red piping. Fugly. The size is okay, but the zipper top looks like a pain to deal with.
I’ve yet to find a camera bag I like, so I use lens pouches in a Mountainsmith Tour Classic lumbar pack carried like a sling. The Mountainsmith small Zoom bag fits a GH2 w/20mm or 2 lenses. I also bike with it in lumbar pack mode.

I wish someone would put out a line of smaller diameter lens pouches for M4/3 lenses. Current lens pouches are a bit too wide, but the smallestvsizes work pretty well.
$40 for the LowePro Streamline 100, or you could get a Thermos Threadless “cooler” bag for $15 and it has as much functionality and way more style.
Been using mine for a good year now and love it to death.

In case you guys haven’t noticed yet, Amazon Germany is offering the Olympus Zuiko 45mm lens for 270€ including shipping and handling. I have been at Saturn in Hamburg, they have ordered a couple of that lens as well but intend to sell them for 399€ a piece. Good luck Saturn. I ordered mine on Amazon.
Older kit lens is better (in case of quality) than the new one?
Somewhere else I red oposit opinion…
Maybe interesting is that brick wall looks better with the new kit lenses (in terms of colors) .. can it be?
Don’t know, but the “Model-Shooting” guy could be a troll. I shoot better photos with my iPhone. ;-P
@Admin: swedish price? You meant swedish prize, right?
About the VGA hack on the GH2 can anyone please translate what’s this all about?
Is it a wider capture?
Just read it again and yes, it looks like it’s all about using the near useless VGA 4/3 mode to set parameters for a 1920×720 cropped mode.
My first post…Hello everybody!
I just noticed in the original swedish reveiw of the best mirrorless camera that it was up against the Nex5 and the Olympus EP1. The EP1 seems like a strange choice to have from Olympus, would have liked to have seen what they though of the EPL3 or EP3.
For the record, I have just sold my Canon 40D, Lenses and accessories a few days ago and am about to join the world of M43!
