The New Lumix DMC-GF1! Does it Compare to the Olympus E-P1? How About DSLR’s?

The price is supposed to be around $900 ( which kicks butt over the Olumpus E-p1) and is geared toward DSLR customers who don’t want the bulk of the bigger camera but still want the creativity,quality and performance.
Where and What to Buy For My Next Camera?
I have had several questions in the last month on where and what to buy for equipment. Well, you should buy from me at very high prices so I can become a millionaire. No really, don’t buy from me. I have never been able to offer discount prices. Here is the deal. I always buy local, from a small camera shop. If I can’t find it there I alway buy from B and H out of New York City.
When I lived in Missoula, MT, I got to know Mike and the other employees at The Dark Room on Higgins St. I even sold my Hasselblad through them. It is always nice to have friends who will help you out and I consider them my friends.
If you do not have a local camera shop, use B and H. I have worked with several other online sources and the experience left me sour. With B and H you get a good price and great service. I trust them. So, buy from me at double the price, or use local, or B and H.
Now you want to know what kind of camera to buy to get started? Hmmmm. What I would buy and what you should buy are going to be two different things. I want the Leica S2, and I really think Santa should get that for my Christmas gift. Realistically I probably won’t be getting that for Xmas ( I will be lucky if I get coal).
What should you buy to get started? I was a Canon guy and still believe that you get the best bang for your buck from getting a Canon Rebel with the kit lens and then go and buy a 50mm 1.8 lens and a 70-200 l series lens. The Canon system is a good one to start out on. But what about Nikon? They are good too. I just don’t know a lot about the Nikon system since I have always used Canon.
I now use a Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1K. The reason is because I am a camera snob.
Not really, I just really like Leica lenses the camera I use comes in a package with one.
I hope that answers some of your questions. Let me know if you have any questions and please leave comments and bookmark this page. Thanks:)
Oh here is the camera I want. It costs $23,000 for the body(then you have to buy the lenses). What a screaming deal!
Mystic Forest
I took this photo about 2 years ago. The fog was pretty thick and it was very pretty. It was taken in Montana, near Missoula. This is one of those shots where I happened to have my camera with me. I always carry my camera now because you never know if you will miss a good shot. Luckily for me, I had my camera on me that day.
