Guys,

GF1 stocks are in!

Just bought the 20mm pancake set for $1,388 nett at Cathay. Comes with weird brand (PenDrive) 8GB memory card.

Also available as purchase-with-purchase is the 14-45mm for another $200.

Very nice cam.

Thanks for the tip! I just went down and bought a set too! At first they quoted me $1,488 but because of your thread, I knew it could be lowered. Bought it at the same price as you and paid by CC. Also bought the zoom lens and a anti-static blower which is on sale for $80 instead of the usual $100.

Yup, it's really a well built camera.

Think LX3 but bigger in size...
 

u bought a kit lens with blower for 80?
that really a good price!
 

Hahaha thats the same one given out when i bought the G1

So looks like i'll have 2 of that

btw incentive to buy soon... the first 1-2 batches are made in japan :)

you bought from alan photo?

I got my set from Cathay Photo. Oh, u mean after these batches, they will be from elsewhere other than Japan?

Think he meant the blower. Uncle at Cathay introduced that to me as well but I bought the $11 Giotto one instead.

Kit lens is additional $200.
 

Hi,

Here are some samples from the camera at various ISO settings.

Sorry for the lack of subject matter, quick job done at office.

Shots all wide open at f1.7 using the 20mm lens, JPEG straight from camera

Lazy to do 100% crop. Please view the original in my Flickr set. :p

U meant the GH1 kit lens: 14-140mm right?

Yes, it's quite big for m4/3 standard as it's about 85mm long (retracted) and uses 62mm filter, which is about the size of Tamron18-250mm.

Just know that it's just a all-rounder but with silent AF to compliment video.

And it's not cheap either...2nd hand seen selling 1-1.3k at BNS. :sweat:

Yah, didn't know of any Panasonic camera products made outside of Japan though, esp these "high ends pricing" ones...

Haha...I'll try.

Ouverture has some nice 100% crops in the other thread already. Didn't see until after I posted this.

Dun think I will get any zoom for this camera. It's a really nice size for everyday snapshots on the streets.

Though what I would like to get is a rangefinder lens.
 

In 35mm = 14-28mm zoom!!! ULTRA wide!.......very tempting. ;p

I am selling all my Nikon DSLR stuff to fund for my new toy......GF1 with 20mm f1.7 & 14-45 & 7-4mm f4. ;p

Got sick of bulky DLSR specially when I travel to 'ulu' country. :sweatsm:


Is this the m4/3 version of the original Oly 7-14mm? Ya it looks expensive.:bsmilie:

Which Nikon are you using? I suggest you don't sell first... I had a GF1 for a day, was also really tempted by the weight... but I can tell you it's a good compliment for my D300, but not a replacement.
