Why are you linking that article about Olympus as a reply to my post? Makes absolutely no sense. Anyway, it doesn't address the topic.

It might even work better than the supplied grip if u really adjust the placement of the pads to your finger tip positions

Innovative haha

by the way, may i know what is the banding you guys talking about? is it only appears in lumix range? or other brands or models may exhibit such symptoms? is it annoying??

I have a gx7, I get banding when I switch to the electronic shutter and shoot in artificial lighting. Iam guessing this is the same problem the gm1 faces with its electronic shutter.

Mechanical shutter so far no problem on the gx7 in artificial lighting

Hi all, for those of you who have been using the GM1, how do you find its image quality? Is it comparable to say an Olympus OM-D EM-5?

This cam is one of my to buy list given its very compact size!

However, my other concern is the body to lens size. While the body is very compact, the balance seems to be lopsided (front bulkier) when used with many other m4/3 lenses.

Thanks for your advice!

The image quality of GM1 is good. Its compact size is the main reason I bought the camera. As for your concern of lopsided, even if you buy a DSLR, when it is fixed with a zoom lens, it is also lopsided. So I have no issue with GM1, practice make perfect and I called it "skill" to use a compact camera like GM1 to take good pictures.

Ok thanks for your feedback.

Interesting grip concept, hard to match the orange gm1 though. Wonder if they sell silver colored ones

Sorry I got 2 noob questions to ask:

1. Is there a camera case that fits the GM-1 and 12-32mm lens nicely?
2. I read that the GM1 can accept m4/3 lenses. So that includes the Olympus range, such as the kit 12-50mm?

Thanks guys!

 

[116520]

1. Yes but you have to find it yourself
2. Yes. All M4/3 lenses can be used with GM1

hey thanks guys!

Daniel, cool! thanks for the pics. Exactly what I had in mind.

This cam is calling me now.

It is a very good camera. Only if it has in-built stabilizers, this camera will be perfect.
