i assume the 7-14 will be expensive...

i don't mind the speed of the kit lens but i am looking forward to the 20/1.7.

joe, are you converting the b&w in post or are you using the in camera b&w?

I've not tested or shot as extensively as Joe, but here's one that I thought would make a good test shot:

100% crop of original at the place of focus. \/ Oops, purple fringing.

Looking forward to the DPreview in-depth review of the camera.

EDIT:
high JPEG
ISO 400
f 3.5
1/50 s
14mm
standard film mode

Hi Ray

Hi Ray

Is that with the kit lens? How is the distortion at full wide (14/28) vs primes, or 14/28 of other digicams (if you have any that go that wide?)?

Very tempting!!

Is the Panasonic 45-200mm m4/3rds lens available now? I haven't seen it anywhere.

It's been out for a few weeks but tough to get. I can refer a good source who has them in stock.

Yes. It is the kit lens. This is at the full wide. Don't know about the comparison, yet.

I generally buy online but discovered that Wolf's (Ritz) main store in Charlotte, NC had them on the shelf when I went there to handle the G1 initially (I bought it from Prodigital/Ebay). I did go back to Wolf to buy it since I didn't find it at any better price online--and they had been really nice about me trying the camera in the store. They also have it online and I was told that here in Charlotte, the stores that do not stock it can order it. It seems that only the larger 'main' stores actually stock it. Others in other forums say they found it and the G1 in various camera stores in different parts of the country. I just googled for it and then tried all the online stores that had brick and mortar stores to see if they had it available.

Hi Ray

Hi Ray

Cool, I hope you can bring it to the next get together in a week or so? I'll bring an SD card so I can look at images later. I'm really only interested in JPGs right now, not that RAW nonsense stuff 😀

Yes. It is the kit lens. This is at the full wide. Don't know about the comparison, yet.
