Good question! This is what I asked about GF-1's EVF as well (being a "system" camera and all) and a few GF owners got very defensive about that.Can the EVF on the Olympus be used on the GF1? .
I'm not sure what specs you are referring to. The only changes I can see are:And the E-P2 is a very promising camera, I like it much better from the specs and controls than the E-P1 and the GF1.
The finders are NOT compatible. It was noted in several of the hands on previews.My first thoughts too. The connector of both finders looks very much the same and is in very much the same position. So, it just might be exchangeable. Good question for the dealers. Who else will have both finders?
About the size: I don't know if the Panny finder really is that much smaller. The Oly has a much higher pixelcount, so it must be bigger.
I don't see much specification from the dpreview to tell them apart ... to me the major difference is black vs white.And the E-P2 is a very promising camera, I like it much better from the specs and controls than the E-P1 and the GF1.
950.00 euros = $1406.00= OUCH
I wonder if that projected price included the viewfinder. Probably not.
I'm not sure what specs you are referring to. The only changes I can see are:
EVF - looks very good
Body Color
AF Tracking - will be interesting to see how this works with sluggish AF
2 new art filters
Not changed
AF speed
LCD
Interface
well ... ok you got me there ... that was dinkyBut it has that annoying faux prism!
perhaps its just the I never once saw as much hype over the G1 as the EPI like my G1 today as much as I did a year ago when I got it.
Both the preview from DPReview and Imaging Resource agree that it is higher spec and works better. I have no doubt that it is very good.to anyone, where are the comparisons or specs please which suggest that the EP attachment finder is of [equal | lesser | greater] quality than the GF-1?
ahh hah ... forgot about them ... thanks...and Imaging Resource agree
Despite the excellent image quality, fine form, and easy workflow, the Olympus E-P1's IS system and zoom lens tended to hiccup at inopportune moments, introducing blur into my images.
Its good quality at high ISO makes the Olympus E-P1 a very good available-light camera, which includes liberal use indoors.
but yet about the G1But the Olympus E-P1 with the 17mm lens hits the right spots for this photographer: great still image performance, very usable high ISO images, good optical quality, a prime lens with more to come, easy portability, and a certain charm that makes you want to take pictures.
though nothing was mentioned like this in the E-3 reviewBecause the sensor is smaller than modern APS-C-sized digital SLRs, you'd expect image quality to be slightly lower, but printed results really show surprising parity.
Just bear in mind that Panasonic is doing more than a little post-processing to improve distortion and chromatic aberration numbers, something we also saw with the Panasonic LX3.
so it seems to me that the EP is always just discussed while the G1 gets compared to high speed DSLRs and small sensor compacts ...If action is your thing, you'd do better with an SLR. But as a second camera or a small primary shooter that will let you shoot at odd angles and carry a smaller camera bag, the Panasonic Lumix G1 is impressive
I like mine better.I like my G1 today as much as I did a year ago when I got it.
