Hi guys,
I myself am considering getting a G1. I wanted your opinion about this - do you have a lot of noise for low light shots? Do you use a tripod often with low light shots?
I'm aware that in ideal conditions, the G1 excels in image quality.
Were any of you converts from a Nikon DSLR or Canon etc i.e. a full fledged DSLR to G1?
I converted from a Nikon DSLR. Actually I was looking at the 4/3 system initially as the lens are cheaper than Nikon lens (mainly f2.8 lenses and super wide angle lens such as 7-14mm lens). But as I was reluctant to buy an Olympus DSLR as its performance in terms of image quality, purple fringing effect and noise is not to my liking. The Panasonic L1 is good but its live view is not and the L10 is too big as well.
Lucky for me the G1 came along and it proved that the micro 4/3 system is cheaper and gives good image quality. Raw performance is good and ISO 400 is very usable. What's more micro 4/3 lens are cheaper than olympus 4/3 lens and quality is still good which is what I was looking for.
