Another UK GF-1 user

[m1pui]

Hi all,

Bought my GF-1 a couple of weeks ago and only recently signed up to the forum. I'd fancied one towards the beginning of 2009, but I'd only just gotten a 500D for Christmas and I was still more than happy with my Canon G10 so the idea fizzled out a bit.

Fast forward to November and from out of nowhere I suddenly had the urge again! The VAT back offer from Sony made the NEX-5 tempting but I couldn't bring myself to loving the look/interface. So I put my G10 and old 350D on eBay and bought my GF with the proceeds. I was really happy too as I only lost £80 on the G10 and I'd had it for 18 months.

I'm certainly not a pro level snapper, probably more of an average enthusiast but I do love getting my camera out when I've got the chance. Just got to get some opportunities to put the GF to use now! At the minute it's just been playing and messing around shots whilst I get used to it but I'm sure I'll get some shot up soon enough :smile:

Welcome Pui, another happy GF1 user here, mainly with adapted lenses. I'm with you about getting the opportunity to get out and take some photographs, unfortunately the weather has other ideas at the moment.
Hope you are pleased with your choice when you are able to put it to use.

Welcome Pui, and Hello from Edinburgh. Recently got a GF1 myself, but haven't had any chance to use it because of bad weather and short days. I imagine it's no better on your side of the border. First good day that we get it'll be all action!

All the best,

Colin

I love it. Is a worthy upgrade to my G10, just a shame it's costing me as much as it has done!

I ordered a flash and viewfinder last night but the viewfinder isn't in stock. Flash should be here tomorrow, but I'm debating about whether to cancel the viewfinder as if I keep it, the GF is going to have cost me about £930 all in, which is quite a bit more than I was expecting to spend on my "compact" camera thats the same price as a 70-200mm L for my Canon lol

I still love it though, so we'll see if the vf joins the kit bag :smile:

Mea culpa for my late welcome, Pui! Congratulations on your GF1. I have a feeling you're going to be at home here very quickly...with the adapted lenses folks, especially.
