I was going to purchase a panasonic lens as a present for someone who owns this camera, but the salesman let me know that Olympus would be releasing new lenses for this model early in 2010. Anyone know if this is true?
Just received the E-P2. This is my first camera with an interchangeable lens system (I'm not counting the Canon G-series). I bought the E-P2 kit with the 14-42mm lens and EVF. Also order the FL-14 flash kit. The Panasonic 20mm f1.7 pancake lens is back-ordered, but I hope to have that in a month. Any recommendations on must-haves or niceties to go along with this camera? Feedback from E-P1 owners would be helpful, since they are essentially the same body, and there aren't yet many E-P2s...
Supposed to improve AF with specific attention to C-AF. Hopefully applies an algorithm that is quicker in practice (skips scanning through the entire range). I'd be stoked if they offered an upgrade for the body as well as for the released ZD m4/3 lenses. High hopes anyone?
Ok I finally got the FD adapter, It's the "RJ Camera" one, made in china, sold by "jinfinance" on ebay. build quality is excellent. It came in a small box, no instructions. using it however is self-explanitory. the Aperature is always stopped down. this works fine. its like having DOF preview on all the time. the Adapter focuses to infinity with the 3 lenses I have, 28mm, 50mm, and 135mm. Focusing is made easier with the 7X and 10X preview. It would be nice if it could be...

I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this lens. It seems like an alternative to the 17/2.8 but much faster.. it also shares the same compact design. I WANT!
I am thinking this is a real pretty camera, if it was cheaper I might consider it as a replacement for my point and shoot. However in saying that I think the camera is designed for men that read GQ magazine. I think it screams to be carried in some kind of man bag. thoughts?
My main problem with this camera is the lack of a built in flash. I know that the $200 flash available for this camera is probably much better than a built in flash could ever be but that jumps the price up to $1000 and I'm not sure that price is justifiable.
Does anyone know the release date for this in the US? It looks incredible and I want one so bad. The only good thing about the release date being further off is that it'll give me more time to save!!
Reading Engadget's hands-on with this camera, I noticed them say it didn't have a view finder. There's an optional add-on one for $100, but it doesn't show you the true image that the lens is seeing. This seems like a bit of a disappointment on a DSLR, especially since the screen is hard to see in daylight (again, Engadget). Has the lack of a viewfinder made you reconsider buying the E-P1 and how important is a viewfinder to you?
I'm seriously thinking of picking one of these up as my first serious camera as it looks perfect for me at first glance, near DSLR quality but very compact. If anyone has one or has tested one I'd love to hear your thoughts, worth picking over a DSLR? good for a hobbiest?
