Hi,
I'm currently selling my photo equipment to raise the money for the Panasonic G1, which I intend to used with either M42 or Leica lenses.
Now, I can get a good deal on the G1 with a cashback and a 3 year extended warranty, but I'm thinking about the new G2 as well. And I can't decide whether I should pay extra for the G2 or go for the G1.
Anyone of you guys in the same boat? Or thinking of upgrading your G1?
The video recording is really nice, and I've also checked image samples at imaging-recourse, and the G2 does seem to have a slightly better high ISO performance, and is even a tad sharper at low ISOs.
The only thing I don't like about the G2 is the touch screen, which I think only makes the camera less durable or maybe more prone to breaking. The viewfinder which I really like seems to be the same as on the G1.
So, what do you say? The G2 or the cheaper G1 and maybe some nice legacy glass with it?
Thanks
