    Panasonic 14mm f2.8 availability

    It's exactly what I'm waiting for - a faster lens would be nicer, but since I'm used to shooting with f4 Canon zooms, 2.8 seems "fast" to me - if 2.8 instead of 1.7 is necessary to keep the size down (and price reasonable), then for me it is an acceptable compromise. That and the 20mm is...

    Should I convert RAW to DNG

    Just to emphasis the backup thing - whatever format you use! Remember the adage - its not a question of IF your hard disk will fail, just a matter of WHEN. Personally (having gone through a variety of backup media), I think external hard drives are probably the best bet in terms of cost...

    Pretty Happy I've been a Canon DSLR shooter since 2002, but have been anxiously waiting for something that would provide me take anywhere, pocketability AND near DSLR quality. In Dec. I decided that the GF1 was close enough - maybe not perfect, but never mind. Strangely the feeling on...

    Photographic software programs: both Mac and PC

    I use CS3 and Adobe RAW simply because I've used PS for many, many years - some other packages may be better in some respects, but for me this isn't enough to compensate for my knowledge and experience with PS. One problem with micro 4/3 is that some applications don't recognize the RAW...
