Looking forward to meeting some old friends online and new ones too. Thank you very much for those old friends online who are willing to lend a hand to help the new users to understand the camera system better. I for one is looking at forging new friendships in the process.

I am owning a DSLR cam for the first time too. Still not very clear about all the functions.. would love to learn more from seasoned old birds. =)

OK, looks like the group is going to be pretty big (there are non 4/3 users coming down too), and I hope that more folks from Mytikas will come as well since I have posted in their site to invite them. They are very pro-Olympus and they should be able to help those who are having problems understanding their Oly gears. The rest of the 4/3 users from the other camps (Panny, Sigma, Leica, etc) can ask questions and we will try our best to help you out with them.

If you have a good photography book that has helped you, can you bring it along to show the others so that we can share more? And also, try to recall where you bought that book. It will help them lots.

Many thanks to chancy, ykkok, NMSS_2 and drakon09 for the help in advance. I know you guys are old birds at handling Oly gear liao...

ps : Can we "steal" a E-510/E-410 from Oly at all to preview? It would be awesome! I am buying the E-410, but will wait a few more months when the price starts to drop a little... it is still pretty expensive at the moment to buy new.

microcosm · 27th March 2007

Feel free to add your name to the list if you are coming, so that we can be mentally prepared, especially to those who are helping. There is no limit to the number of people who can come... even members like Blu or CJTUNE. LOL. I would love to see you guys...

(Blu... get a very fast car leh!) KL not that far what...
