GX1 coming on November 8! With G3 sensor + specs leaked!


LVF2 has almost no moving part (except the hinge).. so I dont think it would spoil so easily... not sure if local warranty is that important.. cam bodies i totally agree..

Not so concerned about the moving parts, was more concerned about the electronics itself. :( Failures for such small electronics is always random which is scary. :(
 

just bought the gx1 with x lens, but how come no warranty card for x lens, only warranty card for GX1 body.

does that means buyers will lost the warranty of lens if they sell the body and keep the lens.

Warranty card covers both.

i know warranty card should cover both.

my question is what if one day we sell the body and keep the lens only, and buyer took the warranty card and receipt.

of course i will photocopy the receipt and warranty card,

but will panasonic honour the warranty since no indication that the lens is part of the warranty card and receipt.

anyone registered the warranty card? will the serial number of the lens appear after keying in the GX1 body serial number?

I keyed in the warranty card, and no, no serial number of the lens appears. When you register the GX1X kit already means it should come with a lens I guess.
 

did you buy screen protector for ur GX1 ?

which size should I buy for it ?

Any Idea ?
 

I got 25/f1.4 after trying 20/f1.7 for GX1

My personal impression is:
Sharpness
1. 25/f1.4
2. 20/f1.7
3. 14/f2.5 if i use f4 or darker.

handy
1. 14/f2.5

Auto focus
1. 25/f1.4
2. 14/f2.5
3. 20/f1.7 a bit slow. if you want to shoot something moving, no good.

hope someone is happy with this post.
 

My brother told me the LVF2 is now available in Tokyo in the usual stores for ¥26,800. That's about S$444.
 

Just bought a GX1, anyone knows what size screen protector should I get for it? will one for the GF1 fit?

I believe any 3" screen protector should fit fine.

The LVF2 has a spring-loaded button on the side that acts as a locking mechanism when the viewfinder is mounted on the GX1.

The other moving part is the dioptre adjustment ring that sits on the underside of the viewfinder. While it may appear a little inconvenient, I think the design is brilliant because there's almost no way the adjustments can be accidentally thrown off, unlike the LVF1 or Olympus' EVF2/3.

The quality of the LVF2 is great, like the Olympus'. Sharp, bright, fast.

The problem is where can I buy one? Amazon, Adorama, BHPhoto doesn't have it in stock at all!
 

Thanks. I'm not trying to be nitpicky, but it's like between US$199-249 in USA which is like a lot cheaper than the UK site in your link. :( Thanks anyway...

Don't complain :bsmilie:. I paid ¥25,xxx, but that's only because I *REALLY* wanted one...
 

Amazon has stock now for the LVF2 at US$249... plus shipping (arrive 10 days +) total US$280 which is about S$365... only 19 pieces left... what shall we do???
