@tarantulaman1720 The auto focus is 0.09 seconds

[tarantulaman1720]

@WhichWebsite from what you have seen so far, do you think this camera is as good or better than the EP-3?

Thanks

[WhichWebsite]

@tarantulaman1720 We haven't tested either camera in the labs yet but you can see our first look of the EP-3 above.

Erm...any preferences between The GX1 and the Sony Nex-5n? cheers

[xxbluejay21]

@tarantulaman1720 It's pretty much the same speed. Maybe like .02 seconds slower lol

Great VIDs..can we manual control during video shoot???like aperture priority

[reubenthenebuer]

Would the GX1 be able to use external mics?

[tiberiousgracchus]

Great vid. Just one question. With an adapter is it possible to use Canon lenses with this ?

Looks like a sweet upgrade to the GF1 (finally)! Seems hard to find a camera with all the design & features you want but this SURE comes close to looking ideal! Does it have an "Art" mode similar to Olympus 4/3's that produce retro style film-like grainy B&W photos?

It looks more like a Pen camera than anything Panasonic has produced so far. Some nice fast M4/3 primes to go with it would be nice, say a 50mm F1.4 that doesn't break the bank.

i want this. $355.00 US for the EVF kind of sucks....dang it

Can tell it's not his lens, pocketing it without the rear lens cap. Quickest way to get dust on the sensor, and lens. Just plain wrong. Nice looking camera except don't like the rubber grip.
