hughden Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 What's a twisty screen gizmo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I wasn't even aware of that camera, impressive. US$1300 - not cheap. Looks like a great system though, esp with the fixed lens. Assuming you're referring to the GF-1 it isn't a fixed lens. SLR type compact with interchangeable lenses. Fixed lens, as in fixed focal length, ie non-zoom.

Otherwise known as a PRIME lens You have a choice of kit - 20 mm pancake is the popular choice but also can elect a zoom 14-40mm Later will add 45/2.8 Macro (Pana-Leica) $879 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 'Fixed lens' is a commonly abbreviated term for fixed focal length lens. Look it up 'Prime lens' itself has two meanings as well. Anyway, I like the idea of this camera with the pancake 20m lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magoomba Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Never been a fan of twisty screen gizmos. I have the G10 and it is great. I will stay with my G10, but apart from the flip-out screen, and a different Digic processor, what is different to the G7 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordlys Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 'Fixed lens' is a commonly abbreviated term for fixed focal length lens. Look it up I thought the very reason they are called prime lens is to avoid such confusion that abbreviation can cause. I too thought you have mistaken GF-1 to be a camera whose lens is non-interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
