YOu purchased it from abroad?
The Sony battery is still charging, got to play around with the GXR though. Had to update my firmware to 1.40 since I was still on 1.17. Have to give it to Ricoh, they REALLY support their products. They have not only fixed bugs but added more features and functionality to a relatively old system.
Still figuring out the camera since it has been so long since I used it and they have added so much via firmware updates.
A little bit about the manual focus.
There are 2 main tools to help you.
1. Zoom, you can zoom up to a max of 8 times.
2. Focus assist, via highlighting of edges. You can use this in color or black and white. I find it easier in black and white.
Alternatively you can use both zoom and focus assist.
One thing to note, the EVF that I used to love on the GXR does not feel the same, maybe I have been spoilt by newer ones on the Panasonic GH2 and Sony A55. I am sure the one for the NEX-5N will be even better.

Eh? Why do you even ask such a question? Singapore was never a shopping paradise for electronics, or even branded clothes.
I was at the launch! HE HE HE
but not convinced to BBBActually, many of us here in Perth find it a shopping paradise for electronics, compared to here. But now we just bbb online from HK instead.

My personal impression is that Australia was never a electronics paradise, what with software costing more than elsewhere, never mind the relatively shitty internet.
On the other hand, I have always found that the US often has very competitive prices to what I find at SIm Lim Square, and it doesn't matter which time of the year you buy them at.

may i ask where online do you order from? wanna get a unit myself but the sg price is a little high
Sorry! I just re-read what I wrote, and it sounds like I'm saying that Perth is an electronics paradise - quite opposite! I was referring to Singapore compared to Perth! hoho...!
Prices have been improving slightly though. When my friend ordered his GXR from HK, once GST etc was put on, it ended up more expensive than getting it locally
My local shop 5 minutes walk from here sells it, they sell it for AUD$799 here.
