    What Made you choose the Panasonic GF1 or Olympus Pen?

    After reading the posts here, I can't help but feel this is just another thread started to promote Oly or bash it's competitor Pana. Behind all the arguments backed by "I'm pro so listen to me"... all these bashing has no merits. Wld a pro really use an EP1 to shoot for client assignments? If...

    E-P1 and GF1 Color Compare

    Agreed with you bro. I have been using the GF1 for a few weeks now, I don't think that is how GF1's color looks like.

    How good is the GF1?

    I think one understated and overlooked aspect of the GF1 is it's 720p video capability; the video quality is very good, sharp and clear; the dedicated video button makes it really convenient to use.

    GF1 in stores now!!!

    You paid a lot more. At level 11 at Windsor House, Causeway Bay, (there is a new Leica shop, not DC Shop), the GF1 colored pancake set was only going for HK$6800. Before bargain. Yeah i know many HK shops shld sell for less since that's the recommended HK retail price. But I think...

    E-P1 and GF1 Color Compare

    In default settings, GF1's jpeg color is less saturated and contrasty compared to EP1. U can make the color closer to EP1's by setting the film mode to 'dynamic' which increases the saturation and contrast. However the green and blue will still not be as nice as EP1's, but the difference is not...

    Manual focus on GF1

    I think u misunderstood my point. We need the higher screen res for it's sharpness not color. To see focus accurately, sharpness is wat counts. The sharper the screen, the easier to pinpoint the focus area...we can easily change tune the color in PS to our likely anyway. Pls get the fact right...

    Manual focus on GF1

    Hmm... Y being so defensive abt ep1? I agree tat screen res is not a problem for everyone, that doesn't mean it's the user's fault if he finds it a problem. The fact is if ep1 has a better screen, it's just easier to manual focus for those who find it a problem. Does it mean that I'm a noob who...

    Manual focus on GF1

    Jus to add, the higher screen res on GF1 makes manual focusing much easier when shooting video. As u can't hav zoomed view during video recording, GF1's high res screen allows me to manual focus accurately. I wasn't able to do so on the ep1. Pls note tat I'm not trying to bash ep1 or say which...

    Manual focus on GF1

    It's not too bad if u dun use it to manual focus...considering that LX3 at half the price already has a high res LCD, it jus doesn't make sense y E-P1 doesn't.

    Manual focus on GF1

    Used a GF1 for 2 days now. Yeah, the manual focus on GF1 is fantastic...the higher screen resolution is wat sets it apart from the E-P1; on the GF1, the zoomed image is sharp, which allows u to very accurately adjust ur focus... on the E-P, it's really unsable imo... u can't see if u're focusing...

    [ E-P1 Diary ] - 10 Things I hate about the E-P1

    Probably the color and brightness of the LCD is also more accurate I don't know as I did not do an indepth comparison. I did pop my E-P1's SDCard into LX3 to preview the images and found that it looks quite diff on LX3's LCD in terms of color, brightness & details. You can see if an image's...
