Nice info but is that the Male Micro?This explains it.
I see ... so you're trying to talk me out of getting more camera gear ;-)Why don't you just flip the screen on the G1 around and keep it open for her like on her p&s (if she doesn't like the articulating screen or the viewfinder)? Seems simple enough.
I'm waiting for a new improved sensor... with better corner performance... and increase in native speed... anything more is just dreaming of putting lipstick on a pig...
Just to throw out a vastly off topic, crazy prediction on the future of big sensors in small cameras with small lenses, my bet is that we will eventually have curved sensors. They can make flexible organic led screens now so it doesn't seem that far down the road to build photo sites on the inside of a spherical section. It seems, (I'm guessing really), that would vastly simplify lens design since the back focus would be the same distance to all points on the sensor instead of longer to the corners. Then it would seem to be trivial to map the curved image to a flat plane in processing.True, also what we more worry about is that how will the new sensor change?
As we know, APS-C size sensor is already facing the bottle neck of the pixel increment to the physical limit of 15MP, so do the 4/3 sensor。Pushing to a higher level, said 20MP or 24MP should be too harsh to maintain the image quality.
Theoretically, 4/3 format has room to increase the sensor size from double to quadro (32 X 24mm... wow!), which reaches almost the same size of FF. But it also violates the lens compatibilities since the back flange distance should be change to fit in a bigger mirror. Then, a live view quadro size 48MP camera may achieve. Or even more crazy idea may come that a mirror-less M4/3 48MP camera in the future. But of course, quadro image processors may need to deal with such huge amount of data.
Thanks for the explanation, I didn't have a clue. Thick people like me just "invent" what they wish for without knowing the technical impediments - however, Ignorance is Bliss as they say.The bandwidth required for a video screen is far too high for bluetooth...
And what will be the difference with the E-P1 or the GF1??? But, hey, who am I to stop your gear buying habit???... (me with 2x G1 and E-P1). :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:Hi

Well, the reason is that I don't want to get it scratched. I don't have the camera in any sort of camera bag, so it is quite likely it will be rubbing up against something. I don't mind my camera looking buffed and worn but not the optical surfaces ... if the screen qualifies as that?
I could put a screen protector on it ... but then why not just flip it around?

You, sir, have some screwed up priorities. My son's pants still fit...they just are closer to shorts now (he's 12). And duct tape works wonders on shoes.Well it is time for back to school announcements. My kid already started school. I may have to delay that Ep-1 purchase
something which is perhaps only in my mind ... having had a broken screen on another camera its something I'm a bit 'iffy' about. We have a 'case' for the Canon, and I could imagine putting one on a GF assuming it only had the pancake. I can't imagine that would work well for the G1 ... I've tried a few cases they were either too small or it swam in them. My EOS 630 has some nice marks where it went for a slide down the road while it was round my neck when I came off my XT600 one year ...And what will be the difference with the E-P1 or the GF1???
well, I've been rationaizing .. sold the APS body DSLR, kept the 35mm film SLR, sold one of the 6x9 film cameras ...But, hey, who am I to stop your gear buying habit???... (me with 2x G1 and E-P1). :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:
Well unfortunately the Phoenix school districts are totally screwed up. Starting kids back to school on August 6th with 113 degree temps is just sick thinking. Totally ruins our vacations every yearYou, sir, have some screwed up priorities. My son's pants still fit...they just are closer to shorts now (he's 12). And duct tape works wonders on shoes.
Just like the original 8x11 mm Minox (1936 for the "Ur-Minox"), where the narrow filmstrip was pressed into a distinct curve before exposure.......my bet is that we will eventually have curved sensors.....
We were up in Big Bear for vacation last week and they had just started school. But at least there is was only up in the 80's. Thankfully my son doesn't start until after labor day.Well unfortunately the Phoenix school districts are totally screwed up.

You should follow Voltaire's advice -- when I have money, I buy cameras; if there's any left over, I buy food and clothes.Well it is time for back to school announcements. My kid already started school. I may have to delay that Ep-1 purchase

Actually, it was Walter Zapp's ambition to simplify use of the camera as much as possible that drove him to use a fixed aperture lens. His original format was even smaller than 8x11 mm to maximize depth of field, obviating the need to stop down, but he had a lot of problems getting a lens that would produce adequate quality results. The original f/3.5 Anastigmat lens was good for its day but nowhere near the quality of the post-war five- and then four-element Complans, designed by an ex-Leica engineer in Wetzlar after the Riga plant was long gone. He doubled the format size to 8x11 to accommodate the quality needs, which still allowed 6' to infinity focus simplicity at the hyperfocal setting.... This, however (along with diffraction considerations, no doubt) dictated that the lens had to be used wide open (f/3.5) at all times, since the curvature of field would have changed when stopping down.

anyway ... I don't genuinely think that's the only reason she prefers hers ... she doesn't want to have an "intimidating" camera. So I was thinking that an E-P1 would fit, then when this camera came up ... I'm delaying purchasing till I see this one in more details.
Also, I've had a gut-full of multiple batteries and chargers, so if the GF shares the battery / charger with the G1 then it'll be a point in its favour over the E-P1
