Hi All,
I'm expecting to take delivery of a Lumix G3 in the next week or so - exciting times!
Now for the past 6 (!!) or so years I've only been using a Pentax Option S5n. You'll see from the specs that in todays market it would be considered a toy, however when I purchased it at £280 upon launch, it really wasn't thaaat bad!
So the G3 will undoubtedly blow my current P&S out of the water, in terms of IQ and control. Great.
One concern I have however is whether I'll miss anything from a traditional P&S once I have my G3. I think ultimately I see myself using the G3 with the 20mm F1.7 pancake - but unfortunately this lens is not being offered with a G3 it seems. Now because this is a prime lens, I'm worried I'll miss the zoom aspect I'm currently used to. Granted the G3 will arrive with the 14-42 zoom lens but its the size of this lens that puts me off slightly, am really looking to keep size down [before anyone suggests the GF1/GF2/GF3, I really want the articulated LCD that the G3 offers!]
Any other P&S --> M43 converters out there that miss a feature?
Anyone missing zoom?
You'll be able to conclude from my question that I'm just looking to start out in M43 but I guess we all have to start somewhere..! I'm hoping others have made a similar move.
Input most appreciated.
