Monza, Vivek,it brought along the 17mm with it, for my G1.
I have been playing with the idea of buying the 17mm alone to use on the G1. What is your experience with this combination?
Cheers

Must you "mock" people's choices. Obviously we understand that is not your own preference but big red letters screaming out isn't really necessary. I have both the G1 and the E-P1 both have their pluses and minuses. As an all around camera I think the G1 is better executed. However, there is some pull that has me wanting to pick up the E-P1 and use it. Sitting in Iceland on a landscape workshop, I used the E-P1 around town in Reykjavik and on the first day out in the country. It has been in the hotel room ever since and the G1 is being used along side the Sony.Haha, a camera without articulating display, without EVF, without flash .... - that is named "JOKE-P1" !
Vivek, I'm sure we must be talking about different cameras... could you please expand on which features/functions/usefulness you feel are missing?E-P1 is the low end deal for a m4/3rds camera. No future cam can be this featureless, lack functions/usefulness and be priced like this (or may be Olympus will prove that wrong?! Next time they show something under the blankets...).
So, I am happy it is done with, in a way.

There is a thread in this forum (look for thread header with 17 f/2.8 in name) with shots I took first day with the 17 on the G1--or you can go here--there are quite a lot of shots of the 17 on the G1. I like it very much--makes the G1 quite a small package, very few cons I can find. I shoot in RAW so any CA is dealt with (if I turn it on in LR--which I forgot to do in first shot in gallery LOL--Vivek pointed it out).Monza, Vivek,

They both have pluses and minuses. The DLux4 is the best small sensor camera I've ever seen. 24-60mm at 2.0-2.8. That is fast. The colors are very nice coming straight out of the camera and it is a low-light champ. Plus it is easy to carry - I almost always have it, and when I shoot on-location with my K20d I have it as my "wide" snapper.I am in fact playing with the idea of getting a DLUX 4 or the corresponding Pana. With your experience of both cameras, what is speaking in favor of the E-P1?

Its just a joke,really some of you swiss take yourselves too seriously,lighten up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!best to you,..........Neil.:banghead::wtf:
Neil,
Please stop disturbing the other members, American or from other parts of the world; it is just a matter of respect and do not be racist on top of insulting:banghead:
Indeed, I have, Brian. Gorgeous camera. With the black outfit that is now available, it would be stupendous (I am looking for a gold cover to commemorate the 50 years of Pen though).Vivek, I'm sure we must be talking about different cameras... could you please expand on which features/functions/usefulness you feel are missing?
This is the most feature rich camera I've ever used, has a high quality build and delivers superb IQ... I'm baffled by your assessment. Have you actually used one?
Kind Regards
Brian

'Turn on' the CA correction? -- you don't mean some sort of automatic correction, surely? Or have I missed something?There is a thread in this forum (look for thread header with 17 f/2.8 in name) with shots I took first day with the 17 on the G1--or you can go here--there are quite a lot of shots of the 17 on the G1.
