New firmware for the 45-200

Yes, they all come at a premium.

I expect more "updates" with the same caveat.

Get the 65 Euro battery or else!!

Panasonic apparently pulled the firmware update from the site....I never got to do it. It will probably return with the batteries disabled. I don't have any third party versions.

Good one! :)

[FWIW, I do use AF (sunny conditions) with the Oly-D17/2.8 and Ricoh GW-1 (0.75X converter) combo. As long as it does not make it any worse, it should be OK.]

Thanks for posting, Hot!:)

This is one serious camera to take a look at. Once I understand how they have included both phase/contrast detection focus and how they implemented it, I may get one.

This could be the answer for a larger sized sensor compact cam. ;)

Vivek... I think we could get enough donations around here to buy you one if you would consent to the yellow or hot pink and we took away your black paint and markers. What do you think?????

Terry, Bad paint job is my speciality! :ROTFL:

I am not going to say much about this other than it really made me sit up and take a look (no light bulb icons?!). :)

There are practical reasons (other than the size) why I have not hacked up my black Nikon D300 (with its red stripe). The live view implementation there sucks.

If the Pentax Kx offers what I hope for, it is the one and I am getting one, whatever color I can get my hands on.;)

Hi Vivek

In regard to your "country of origin", I would suggest that you get the orange one. Me, I'll wait untill they have a black, yellow and red one :D:D
