It’s E-PL1 (not E-P1)
I’ve been considering the GF1 with the 20mm for the better part of a year or more. Recently I have been holding out for the GF2 (it was what led me to this site a few months ago) but with the recent rumors about smaller sizes and comments made by Panasonic I decided to finally get the GF1 from Amazon. The 5d mkII is too much camera to walk around with sometimes, I can not wait to try out the GF1 with the pancake as a walk around camera.
Even at these prices m43 offerings are priced still to high. A PEN can have a big sensor, but AF is still crappy. There are better offerings especially in forms of entry dslr models.
And don’t get me started about the cost for mediocre glass. Yes it’s tiny but not that much that it can cost 3 times more than 10% bigger and better glass.
Oly really has to bring something with pdaf on sensor to offer a true alternative to the E system. CDAF is inferior. Always.
And yes there is panasonic. But i really am not a kind of guy to shell out 1500$ for a gh1 which is already outdated. So i+m probably also not interested in 1000$ mini-me “leicas”.
gh1 is 1000, with a 14-140 kit lens. 700 body only.
A GH2 focuses faster than a 5D MK II. Watch the video.
