As you may know Imaging Resource had a Q&A session about the GX1. If you missed it you can see the history here: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/GX1/GX1A.HTM#live-qa. And Photoreview Australia (Click here) tested the new Panasonic GX1: “Our Imatest tests provided similar results to those from the G3. Raw files were well up to expectations for a 16-megapixel camera; JPEGs were slightly below expectations.”

Photographyblog (Click here) posted a full Olympus 45mm f/1.8 review. The lens gets highly recommended: “the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 represents excellent value for money to anyone on the lookout for a fast short telephoto lens for their Micro Four Thirds camera.”

Olympus 5 mm?
I’ll take 2!!!!!!
Yeah. That’s one hell of a lens.
If they created a decent 3.8mm, I’d buy it pretty quickly. I want a circular fisheye that stays circular even during cropped video recording!
What’s the f-stop?
If they could make a reasonably-sized 5mm lens, I bet it would be something like f/8. Still great though…
45 🙂
Ultra Fish eye lens 🙂 The things that admin has up his sleeve…………
Panny, please make a 10mm prime!!!! no fisheye thanks.
Really? Is the 12mm just too much?
+10!
I love a 10mm (20mm equivalent) lens.
I still have a Nikon 20mm f2.8 AI lens and it’s a real bummer that it’s become a 40mm on my GH2. So, yeah, Panasonic, let’s a high quality 10mm ultra-wide!
Nothing against having more lens in the catalog. Even those “I don’t personally need (therefore its useless, it beats m43 purpose, bye bye m43…)”. However, I’m not sure its the priority right now, with already 12mm, 8mm fish eye, 9-18 and 7-14 to choose from, let alone two new zoom that will start at 12mm.
But we are almost there, at the time of the year where Panasonic announces the annual lens roadmap.
Any predictions…? 😀
The Oly 45mm was actually Photographyblog’s Lens of the Year.
Does anyone know an exact date when the Panasonic GX1 is supposed to hit the US shores????
Also..the DMW-LVF2…any ETA on that viewfinder?
Thanks.
I would like to know the same for the EU. Not even the dealers I contacted know when the GX1 will be available. Panasonic didn’t provide them with a date.
Gx1 started shipping in Asia.
I got my GX1 about a week ago here in Canada.
REALLY!!!!! I am so jealous!!!! I am sitting here with two new spare batteries, a new op/tech strap and a 32GB SDHC 95MB/s card for my GX1…I am drooling here! LOL! If they are in Canada..maybe they will be here soon. Thanks Will.
I see GX1 already hitting Hong Kong 2nd hand camera forums here. There r ppl here who buy the kit just for the x lens and sell the body. Totally wrong move!
LOL! That makes no senses whatsoever?!?!?!?! The lens is small but too many “issues”. I just want a GX1 body (in Astin-Martin silver) to use with my existing quiver of lenses!
Kenmore Camera near Seattle, WA has GX1 in stock today as well as Samys.
hmmmm….I guess they would hit he west coast first!
I’m on the way to collect my GX !
Cheers .
Cheers?.. expletive seem very British… …but Yun seems like an Asian name…
Yun…where are you???? (oh..maybe Hong Kong?) LOL!
Seems like no one knows anything about the LVF2 viewfinder arriving ANYWHERE?
I see the questions, but where are the answers?
