haha price better not say. Heartpain abit. But still. Coming from someone who's been playing around with a 450D(a friend's) alot, I LOVE THE SIZE of the 620. Got it together with the pancake lens.

Pics gotta wait. Charging the batteries now.

Toyed with it at Courts Tampines this morning. I admit that although its menu system is not the most intuitive, it's not so difficult when you hands-on. The screen is definitely hinged correctly (Nikon should have learnt this), and most functions have dedicated buttons. Price is $1298 with kit lens. On the downside, I still find its viewfinder pretty narrow.

That said, I tried the E30 and fell in love with its ergonomics - it's designed for my hands!

Out with the old (taken with E-620)

My Powershot A95. Served me well for 4 and a half years.

In with the new. (Taken with the A95)

Enquired with Parisilk, E-620 single lens kit sells for $1165 (GST included) with the said freebies.

That's quite a good price!

Same as the USD799 for single lens kit price in the US!

How's the viewfinder of E-620 compared to, say D40 or a 450D? Based on my calculations, it should be *slightly* smaller. The E-30's viewfinder is bigger than the above two mentioned comparisons though.

How much was the E-30 at Courts?

The subject seems to be OOF entirely (unless you're focusing on the words "Canon"), lol. Too excited? :bsmilie:

E30 with 14-54mm is $24xx (can't remember). Alan Photo is going at $2208. Still kinda ex leh, me thinks, compared to, say, a D90. Since I've not studied much into Olympus, I need to do more homework before committing. But other than that, it's really tempting! ;p

Wow, Courts is damn expensive!

I got a quote from MS for E-30 with 14-54 MKII for $2160 a week ago, but I still think it's on the high side Going to wait for the "promised" price adjustment during the PMA to materialise before venturing forward!

CP quote me $1050 for E620 body. Wanted to buy together with the grip but there isn't any now.

 

[freshfire]

buy the body first and the grip later
