Thanks,

Excellent spec'd EVF, that's enough for me to covet it :sweat:.

Panasonic's new lenses are more interesting though.

Long time to go to January.. Good thing for me I don't think I want it. Well may be i want the 9-18/4.0-5.6. a tiny maybe.

Expensive.. $950 Euros around, $2K SGD:sweatsm:

unlikely... looks like the e-p2 has a special connection to the viewfinder apart from the hotshoe, similar to the gf-1

 

[blacvios]

No more retro looking with the new EVF.

Is it an official launch? Bec those pics posted looked like the spy pics from one of the forums. Anyway, I hope the EVF is removable. And if it is the cause of the heavy price tag, I want to be able not to have to buy it.

 

[mojims]

I can just imagine now... E-P2 + stereo microphone viewfinder attachment + ST-grip (see here) + 14-150mm + Hood-loupe = one mean video machine... :devil:

 

[bousozoku]

If this is really it, it sounds more like E-P1.5.

I can't imagine they'll sell many. It just looks as though they fixed some weak areas of the E-P1.

Hopefully, there is a lot more to it.

no built-in flash? :think:

 

[spidey89]

seems to not have built in flash and the EVF is removable I guess

the G1 also has a viewfinder resolution of 1,440,000 dots.

and its LCD has 460,000 dots.

 

[eow]

anyone thinking of selling ep1/gf1 for ep2?

 

[coolsigg]

sad. not having a built in flash for EP-1 was the deal breaker for me. I thought they would improve with EP-2 but it didn't happen.

 

[ndroo]

Phew! I can save $ and stick to my EP1 then.

 

[dorts]

Still awaiting for pro-spec m43!

 

[mookie]

i don't mind the lack of built-in flash...however had hoped that the lcd screen would been bumped up to 460k at least

 

[spidey89]

not having the built in flash is not a prob since the olden days of film there isn't built in flash,and the EVF comfirm is detachable,if it's not,how can one attach flash on the E-P2 if that is indeed the E-P2
