    Best prices for epl2

    Went to IT SHow this noon. Touched the PL2, surprisingly the zoom ring of the kit lens is very smooth & feels very well built. But the thing that amazes me most is how small this MSC kit lens is comparing with the older ver while maintaining the same IQ. Overall feel of the PL2 set is very...

    Fuji X100

    I agree. Went there this noon, while walking looking & around, this sales girl suddenly pop out of nowhere & shaft a X100 to my face. HAHAHAHA!!! Tried it & its a menu driven UI, most commonly used features r all hidden in the menu, to the extent it actually feels like a P&S :bsmilie...

    Must Read! Olympus' & m4/3 strategy

    After going thru the 13 pgs, didn't feel like there's any strategy le. Sounds more like any other guy's opinion out there in the wild. Pg 3 with Zeiss already salah, Zeiss announced last yr they r jumping onto the u43 wagon with the Compact Primes series, not as what the site said "It...

    What software to read EPL2 RAW file ?

    No need sad la. Only 2 ways out, either live with it or deal with it :bsmilie: Live with it: Stick with apple & wait long time for them to refresh their line of comps. Then realised it still lagging/limited in hardware specs Deal with it: Take matter into ur hands, go the hackintosh way &...

    What software to read EPL2 RAW file ?

    Core 2 Duo quad core cannot la. Mine is i7 930 CPU (1366 socket), at least i dun consider it slow when using V2. Think i7 1156 socket also not that far off. Did u also set the RAW processing to high using multi processor? For mac users, it'll have to be the newer imac 27" ver to get the 1156 i7...

    what do you like about 4/3?

    Sharp la, in the context of no bokeh HAHAHAHA!! Simply unbeatable :bsmilie: Oly or Panny can develop a simple 43 P&S with only 3.3MP that can accept SIM card for the purpose of..... U guess it right.... ALL THE FACEBOOK ADDICTS IN THE WORLD!!!! There'll be a dedicated button for posting to...

    What software to read EPL2 RAW file ?

    Agree with tomcat. So far no 3rd party RAW software can do better than their own. I'm playing around the Phase One 6.1.1, the output for both Canon & Oly RAW files dun look as nice. Will be toying with Silkypix when the DSP 5 is officially launch. I noticed the Viewer 2 (free from Oly site) is...

    EPL2 Likes & dislikes by wonglp

    I dun quite agree le. Whether consumer grade or not, a cam shud not behave like that. I've used Oly C5050 & 8080 & Nikon coolpix twistable 3MP P&S in the past, no issue at all, P&S or not. What i've mentioned r casual shoot senarios. In a wedding dinner or family eating in a restaurant, or...

    E Club E30 deal

    Looking at this deal, its no wonder Oly has small market share. If i were Oly head, i'll put this offer for everyone in the public so as to have more people using my cameras. Members offer $799 Non-members offer $899 The $100 saved is more than worthwhile the membership fee. ;)...
