[ Post Event ] Your thoughts on the E-PL1

[mojims]

Wah that's nice! The online manual is very skimpy it just says that there is TTL-wireless.

Any chance you tried to see if FP sync is available? Maybe this can be a mini-strobist cam

Oh, that one I didn't check.

I think he's asking if FP Sync is available in Wireless Flash mode...

Hi All,

Did they mention when the stocks will come in? I'm a newbie thinking of getting the E-PL1 as a startup camera. Got a holiday trip coming in end Mar which I hope to bring it... ;p

Yeah, I like wireless flash, and having the extra option to use a higher flash sync speed would make things more versatile. One reason why I still hang on to my older DSLR with native 1/500 sync speed.

I am aware of amazon.com but I'm more keen to purchase it locally instead

M4/3 is not a cheap system
easily buy more stuff with the same money for a C7N system. Guess portability comes at a price!
