The GH3 feels as much as a DSLR as the GH2, zero. :)

Err the GH3 feels a lot like a Pentax k5 or d5100 size. With metal body it's very solid. Not plasticky like gh2. The grip is very nice. So I would say it feels like a small dslr. But the performance is top notch

lol, I didn't mean how it feels on your skin. It's still a mirror less camera with CDAF only.

Ya.... Top notch spec but it's still M43 not FF.... Then again... For those using for video, it's a good body to have.... For those needing the FF.... Then boh bian.... For people like me, will save me some $$$ if it can cure my FF itch....

You can always buy an old FF (i.e. 5D classic) as well, it's cheaper than some m43 top bodies. Still make very useable pictures with the right lens.

Did cross my mind.... but was thinking for "future proof".... this GH3 looks good for video... though the still like same same with OMD..... dont know leh.... :dunno:
 

I read somewhere.that we can disable the small flash that come with the OMD so that when we do the wireless flash with FL600, the small flash wont fire off.... but I cannot make it work... either both fire or wont fire... hmmm...

As far as I have tested (with FL-50R) and figured, the wireless flash mechanism has to be triggered by the on-board flash - the little add-on pop-up flash that comes with the camera for all Olympus camera (be it, E-3, E-5, E-30 E-P3 or even OM-D).

Anyway, anybody has a chance to look at my questions pertaining the LED light on the FL-600R for videography on page 8?
 

Just got mine today from AP.I am very happy with what this little flash can deliver.So far it seems as good as the larger FL50R.My only complain is that it does not come with a diffuser like the FL50R. Anyone know which 3rd party diffuser can fit this flash just nice?

locally dont know.. maybe try reddot photo or artworkfoto? If you want, ebay sells them : olympus fl-600r diffuser | eBay
Adorama in the US also..
 

Thanks Agrivar.

Btw, is anyone using the Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce OM-4X? Does it fit nicely? Care to provide a picture of the diffuser attached with the FL-600R? I've tried Googling for the picture but to no avail. Thanks. :)
 

I am using the Sto-Fen Omni Bounce and it fits nicely. I'll try to take a pic of it being attached on the FL-600R when I get home tonight.
 

Can I know what is the current best price for FL600R?
 

Thanks Agrivar.

It fits nicely on the 600R.

Thanks bro, looks nice. This is exactly what I'm looking for.

May I know where did you get it from? So far I have not been able to find in the local shops and I found in ebay is selling for SGD22.21 + SGD12.31 for shipping.

I bought mine from Amazon for US$13.50, excl shipping.
Not sure about local shops but you can always ask Artwork, SGCam if they bring the JJC-clone.
 

Is the control on the flash any language dependent? Amazon JP was selling at ¥24270. Approx $300. Was thinking of buying it but not sure if I can use it. thanks

no you cannot. and it is quite irritating if you are trying to take portraits with off camera flash, the small flash fire will still cause our subject to squint his eyes.

I tried sticking masking tapes, but that will cause the flash not to fire.

so i am now looking for a radio trigger. Anyone has any recommendation?

BTW i bought at $430 from 316...
