I finally did it.
After months of deliberation I decided to go ahead and get the camera I’ve wanted for a long time. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with my Pentax K-7 which accompanied me to Europe last year, but I was always on the lookout for something sleeker and more convenient to carry around.
So after going back and forth for the 89th time, I decided to take the plunge and got myself a spanking new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 last night. And even though I preferred the one in White, I settled for Black in the end as I did want to look more ‘professional’. That and the fact that the one in White was already sold out at the shop I purchased it from.
And besides the 20 mm ‘pancake’ lens (GF1C), I also topped up a little more for the 14-45 mm standard lens kit, which also meant I got a free tripod, three 8 gb SD cards and an original half case as well.
It’s definitely not going to be make me a better photographer any day soon, but it will make me a much happier blogger for a long time to come.

yea how much u bought it?? ck tang have it @ 1200++ without pancake. im considering nex or gf…
If I recall correctly, I paid SGD1400 for the body, the pancake lens and the 14 – 45 lens. Promotion then.
did u get any casing for this baby?
I bot my gf1 today. On the lookout for bags, pouches and stuffs.
how much you bought it? love this!
Great camera. I recently bought it with both the 20mm pancake and 14-45mm and I’m very please with it. Takes a little while to learn the many functions but worth it. Too bad LV doesn’t make a case for it. I also have the K7 but it’s too heavy for casual shooting. I hope you enjoy your GF1. Luv your blog.
I had a hands-on session with the Sony NEX and it was truly love at first touch… seemed easier to use than the GF-1, but still congrats on the purchase!
