i need a macro lens..anybody can help recommend a lens?
If I am shooting scenes like yours, I will hv no choice but to wait for a haze/smog free day and wait for the sun to be behind me and at a low angle. If not, it will be opportunistically done. Always bring a camera, and while walking to the MRT after work, so happens that the lighting conditions are perfect and you can fire away, capturing images as good as a phtographer who have camped for days!
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?

The amount of noise you get in low light is subjective. It mostly depends on what ISO you select and whether you get enough exposure when taking the photo. As for tripod, think its been said a thousand times already by many seasoned photographers here - for night time photography a tripod is a MUST.
Frankly under ideal lighting conditions (e.g. in a studio) ANY camera, even compact cameras, will take excellent or near perfect photographs.
G1 is also a "full-fledged" DSLR, just that there's no prism inside the camera due to the shorter mount between sensor and lens.
I'm aware that to get the best results from low light shots a tripod is a must. But have any of you taken photos inside a party, a restaurant etc..and setting a tripod is a bit of a bother?
How did the G1 do for noise? I'm not too fond of pushing ISO past 400 honestly. I've read that it DOES have problems with noise > 1600 under low light conditions? Has this been a problem with any of you? Without post processing of course
RE: Ideal conditions - yes I agree a compact could take good sharp photos but to a certain extent. I've seen some shots from a DSLR under good conditions that would make my Fuji F100D look amateurish.
RE: whether G1 is a full fledged DSLR - I think that's a contentious point. Some purists would argue that it's not.

Hmmm, good point about shooting indoors. For those situations a flash would probably solve the problem, though mounting a large flash onto the G1 will make it very unbalanced. I'm facing that problem currently. I switched from Olympus DSLR to Panasonic G1, and I find that my FL50 flash, though compatible with the G1, is too heavy and bulky and makes it difficult to balance my camera when mounted. Usually I find turning up the ISO to 200 or 400 and using an external flash will allow you to shoot using faster shutter speeds and thus avoid blurring or underexposed photos. Note you'll need to experiment a bit with this method.
As for the G1, I've shot as high as ISO 800 before. If you're printing to 5R then the noise doesn't show up that much, though eagle-eyed people still might notice it. I would advise not shooting higher than ISO 400 if you want to ensure no noise at all.
About the Fuji F100D, erm, sorry but that's no comparison with a DSLR as the sensor size is totally different. Basically the larger the sensor, the more detail can be captured with it, hence the main reason why DSLRs can take photos that compact cameras can't.
As for the purists, well, all I can say is to wait for the micro 4/3 to be more well developed as currently Leica does not make lens for Panasonic G1 and Olympus has yet to release their micro 4/3 cameras and lens. Once the infancy stage is over, then we can compare. The Panasonic G1 does have its flaws, and I'll admit at times it does feel more like a compact camera than a DSLR, but it's not a bad camera frankly.

The difference between FT and mFT is not just the absence of the pentaprism, but the absence of the mirror too.

You're also making it sound like the smaller body design left no room for the prism. In fact, the mFT design called for no prism or mirror, which allowed a smaller body.
There's a difference here.
So the G1 is of a non-reflex design.

Anyone knows the lens to flange distance for micro 4/3 mounting? for eg. its 44mm for EF, 42mm for FD and 43.5mm for MD

Lens to flange? Or lens (flange) to sensor?
Which flange do you refer to?
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicdmcg1/ said:
Olympus and Panasonic announced the new, mirrorless format / lens mount based on (and compatible with) Four Thirds in August 2008. The Micro Four Thirds system uses the same sensor size (18 x 13.5 mm) but allows slimmer cameras by removing the mirror box and optical viewfinder. The new format has three key technical differences: (1) roughly half the flange back distance (distance from mount to the sensor), (2) a smaller diameter lens mount (6 mm smaller) and (3) two additional contact points for lens-to-body communication (now 11 points). Removing the mirror mechanism allows this shorter flange back distance, meaning lenses for the new mount can be considerably smaller than current Four Thirds designs. The format will require framing to be carried out using Live View on either the LCD monitor or an EVF. Existing Four Thirds lenses can be used on Micro Four Thirds cameras using an adapter.
