Any EP2/GF1 owners also shooting G1/GH1: Point?

Ben the G1/G2 advantage would be as you described.

Additionally the GX body has a better grip from the RHS of the body ... ideal for large zooms !! like the 45-200 or 14-140 the integrated EVF with the GX makes for very tight coupling with the users eye and is Ideal for large lenses it just feels right with large lenses.

Some settings directly accessible around the mode dial via the lever the thumbwheel is great too and the EVF is always there.

I currently use G1/GF1/E-P2 and don't consider that gear collecting, I do think the E-P2 is an exceptional camera of the 3 its the body design and the great jpeg ooc.

Choice is yours if cost no option go for the G2.

Cheers

 

No real issues Ben .. the Pany menu is better IMHO things easy to find having said that the Oly is really fine just more "digging".

Here I am talking about menu settings not shooting settings, with shooting settings the Pany has a slight edge over Oly .. you will have no trouble with the Pany

No I usually take one CAM with lenses so far, but I can see a use for the G1 / with long zoom and the E-P2 with a small lens in the one bag OR it could be GF1 and E-P2 as a pair in the one bag.

More Cams more options and fun

Have a good day :smile:

I have the Pen1 and the G1. Both are great cameras. Each has it's own way of working. That being said, yes I have a problem with the 2 difference interfaces.
I would never get rid of the Pen so I'm ready to sell my G1 and get a Pen2.
Then working will be easier. For events I do use both cameras.

 

Might worth waiting a while and see what the GH-2 has to offer. They might just slip in a new sensor and that would probably give enough justification to get it :smile:

 

I have an EP2 and have just bought a G1 to compliment it.

I intend to use both, they both have there strengths IMO, I wanted an SLR type body light weight, articulating LCD, quality EVF etc.
