where got sell the 17mm lens..
i bought a silver with 14-42...after one day, i realise i should get the 17mm instead and buy the zoom kit later...
anywhere selling?

I think dual kits are out everywhere...
I brought the last 17mm unit at a shop, they said dual kits sales were very hot.

I wanted the silver body, but they only have white, though it really look better on the hands than on the forums... can't say I dislike the color.

Some sample pics. Not as good a photographer as all of you, but its a good gauge of the quality of the camera.

Important question, which shop still has stock? dual lens kit prefered if not prime lens kit is fine too. Damn poison this thread.

I got my black and silver dual lens kit from T K Foto Technic Pte Ltd today. Located at Shaw Towers along Beach Road.

Not sure if they still have stock.

Fret not, for those who are looking for the E-P1... One more week for stock replacement... for the first time Singapore is getting stocks faster than many other countries and in larger allocated amounts too... quite amazing work from the Oly folks... it is in serious demand around the world and the factory is trying very hard to meet demands.

I took a few very quick shots during lunch all at high iso2000 (did not noticed that my colleague tweak the setting). Rather than deleting away, I post it here as reference on the iso quality.

Following each is a area cropped of the photo.

The images are good at high ISO

You don't have to use an adapter, those lenses with micro Four Thirds logo are "native" to the format. But, you have to make sure the firmware on lenses and camera bodies all match. Just update all camera/lens firmware.

I never update lens firmware before... but I guess is you update through the cam ba.:think:

 

[microcosm]

When you connect your camera (all Olympus products) to your computer via the USB cable that came with your camera, with the lens attached, and run the Olympus Master software that came with your purchase, with an internet connection, you can update all lens, and camera through the software.

Hi, E-P1 vs G1, both are about $1550/- plus incl. GST and both with two lens.
which would u buy. I chose G1 and waiting for GH1. Both come with pros & cons.
depending on personal needs. I chose image quality, easy shooting handhold,
solid built, weight balance with zoom lenses, adapter with AF for using other lenses
customization for frequently-used functions for shooting, 3" screen with 93K dots.

They have 1 white dual lens kit left. I really want the black and silver, but if nobody wants this one I'm grabbing it
