It's here! Olympus E-P1 "Digital Pen" m43 system

Does anyone knows how to disable the LCD screen when using the OVF? I already RTFM but can't anything on it. Previously on e-xxx bodies, pressing Info button will cycle the screen to disable but not on E-P1.

I read quite long ago on DPR that it cannot be turned off. Let's nope it's not true...

Cool... thanks for the tip. :thumbsup:

Need to bring both the receipt and the warranty card to redeem the battery.

on page 25 of the manual - enable menu by pressing the menu screen and going to the 4th tab.

on page 102 (or around there) of the menu - assign the LCD backlight to your fn button.

voila

Just got my Pancake kit from H/N Parkway. They have ONE MORE set of the 14-42mm kit.

Other dealers still got a lot of the single lens kits... well at least my favorite dealer has anyway... and at very good prices too.

So what kind of filter do you guys get for the pancake? Or do you not use any at all? MS told me that they do not have b+w for that size.

Paris slik store at holland v has a few units of zoom and prime lenses at 5 pm today. Hurry up before stock lasts

Dual lens kit is out of stock at M S Color and Cathay unless you made a reservation

Cathay has the 14-42 in stock.

Alan Photo has the dual lens kit but only in white.

Next shipment to M S will be in about two weeks... the other stores have no ETA.

Audio House has 1 dual lens kit left... which I can't purchase because they don't take Amex... argh.

Did anyone manage to get a dual lens kit in black?

Some video camcorders have lenses that have 37mm threads. Sony, for example, sells 37mm filters (polarising, UV and ND) for their camcorders as well as their P-series Cybershot digicams with 37mm threads. You can get these quite easily at Sony stores.

[splim]

:think: B&S got people selling E-P1.

:bigeyes: Before using already wrong purchase !
But quite good price and got free screen protector some more.. but no 8G SD card? :think:

No case is included with purchase right? I vaguely remember seeing a leather case ala LX3's. If there's one thing I will miss about the LX3 it will be the casing, it's quite a smart design.

Can't wait to go to HN to try out the Pen!

By the way, is the Ex-25 extension tubes compatible with the camera? I'm still coming to terms with the m4/3 & 4/3 thing; if you will need an adapter to use a 4/3 lens on a m4/3 cam, do I actually need an adapter to use the extension tube? :dunno: Sounds silly?
