Not local but available on ebay.
coming soon in next few posts
heard from panasonic marketing guy, there's no lens only option.
my dealer told me its sold as a kit first and then the lens alone version after a month or 2.
looking forward to the Dec 3 cause wonglp's bringing his GM1 along, nothing beats handling the camera physically
once in the hands, you wouldn't want to let go:hearts::devil:
Was at the launch on friday, this camera though is targeted more for ladies, in fact I feel it's good as 2nd body for those who already owned say a more "pro-is" body say EP5/Em1/GH3 , for those who want to bring out light with smaller lenses (20mm, 14mm, 45mm), even 12-35mm feels too big on this.
The white version (shot with GM1+kit lens)
The orange version (I like this one! )
Other special editions maybe available after the main 4 versions are launched (Black, White, Orange, Silver). This is shot with Panasonic 12-35/2.8

thanks for sharing!
The white one with a brown or black half casing's the one i'm aiming for. The 12-32 when extended does really look a bit too big on the GM1.
Pairing it up w/ a 14/2.5 or 20/1.7 will be good options too.
I'm a bit worried that the 'white' leather portions will be easily dirtied though :dunno:
so far still keeping my fingers from ordering from amazon or HK
Hoping local street prices will be competitive like when GX7 was released

It's also targeted for those keen on Sony RX100, but of coz RX100 would still be more pocketable than GM1+12-32. but certainly GM1 offers more versatility should one need it.

out in HK liao? cheaper?
There was a model show, lighting was rather hard to use with kit lens, luckily i brought a couple. Had to use quite a bit of Olympus 45mm/1.8, but as there's no body stabilizer, some shots was blurred. A couple which is ok. Some highlights and shadows recovery.
ISO800, Olympus 45/1.8. 1/125s
ISO1600, Olympus 45/1.8, 1/125s
Denise Keller was the host. ISO 800, Olympus 45/1.8, 1/200s. Some banding can be seen, realize this when shooting in Electronic shutter at speeds faster than say 1/100s, mechanical shutter is ok. Artificial lighting conditions.

Out in HK and cheaper than the RRP of SGD999 by around 15~20%. If hungry enough, u can get it within 24-36 hrs by FedEx.
I'm waiting for SG street prices before I decide. Panasonic didn't disappoint with its local pricing for GX7 so I'm gonna give SG Pana a little bit of faith for this.
Hmm, I'm surprised to hear about the banding with 45/1.8 but for shake its difficult to handle it since the camera doesn't come with IS.
WongLP, sorry but since u also have the GX7 and these 2 are supposed to have the same sensors were the performance between the GM1 and GX7 similar ?
Reading up and I realized the GM1'd scene modes are also kinda interesting with choices like : Cute Dessert vs Appetizing food, Romantic sunset glow vs Vivid sunset glow etc.

I am __________________________________________________, sigh...
They generate some cute graphics to go with the picture like those cellphone apps? Heeheehee... that I have to see..
haha, ya. kinda donno whether surprised or taken aback when i saw the scene options. I seldom use Scene modes but the GM1's is really cute haha.
Most cameras just give 'Food' in comparison to the GM1's Cute Dessert vs Appetizing food. Just Sunset compared to 'Romantic vs VIvid sunset' haha. This one i really gotta see the difference.
k.. i gotta confess I'm seeing the GM1 as an intriguing toy to supplement what I already have. Hence in this sense, my expectations aren't going to be that high and most of all, seeing this camera's appeal of how effective it can be in bringing my wife into MFT.

IQ is similar, that means very good
So nice till speechless? ;p
A couple more Denise Keller, some quick edits done (highlights/shadows)
With P12-35/2.8 @ f2.8, ISO1000,
With P12-35/2.8 @ f2.8, ISO 800

The pictures seem to whisper in my ear to use the GM1 with another lens instead of the 12-32 haha.
Is it this one?
In good light kit lens is more than capable, since I had 12-35 why not haha
the kit lens does have OIS btw, except a switch. I find at 12mm the performance seems typical kit but at 32mm, it's really good. Hope to play and test more. Meantime, @ 32mm another cat shot, wide open.

Thanks
do u still remember if we mount a Pana lens without switch for IS to Oly body will the body or lens IS take over ? I forgotten that already
