With the fast touch screen AF, may be we don't need the EVF2 as much (like u said)

You might need it if you want to shoot secretly in the dark in venues that prohibit photography.
I'm looking forward to the E-PL3 or E-PM1 because of their super-small size and fast autofocusing.

I remember 1 of the guys in blue on Saturday mentioned to me that the shutter mechanism on the E-P3 differs slightly from the E-PL3 or the E-PM3, and as such it will affect the focus speed slightly despite them all having the FAST AF technology on them. True or not, probably need working production sets to experiment to find out. :dunno:

if you're in China, there're other things you can molest..... I'm sure it shouldn't be too difficult to find another Singapore group there who's into molestation....

So who can join this session and how to join?

It appears that this Saturday's session is also for E-Club members and not openly announced for public. You may have to wait for the subsequent one (that is if they open it up to the public) if you're not an existing E-Club member.

Thought has a chance to attend as I normally work on weekends.
Who can join E-Club anyway?

Can anyone advise the af speed improvement for following lenses:
1. 20mm f1.7
2. 7-14 panny m43
3. 14-140 olympus m43

Is there continuous auto focus when doing video recording? thanks

You can choose to set S-AF/C-AF/Tracking/MF for video focusing before your recording starts. Otherwise if you had chosen S-AF, during the video recording, you can half-press the shutter button to refocus (cannot change focus point during video recording though). Refocus speed differs from lens-to-lens, most native m43 lens refocus speed shld be as snappy and accurate on the E-P3.
