Panasonic GF1 vs Olympus E-P1

GF1 is now finally released, shot E-P1 did not hold back people who now have two options. But in the end of two bad went wrong?

Sensor - two looks a photosensitive device with the same, but because the use of digital signal processors, the final definition should also have a big difference. From the book, we only know that GF1 the highest ISO only to 3200, EP-1 in 6400 compared with the low first-order, but the picture quality compared to see differences ago this book in fact has little significance.

Kit lens - GF1 is also equipped with a mirror and a zoom lens biscuits, including cookies mirror is a 20mm (40mm equivalent) f/1.7, there is no E-P1 in 17mm (34mm equivalent) wide-angle, but the maximum aperture f/1.7 than the E-P1 of the f/2.8 to be substantially greater. 14-45 zoom lens on the other side of that is before the GH1 1, there is no E-P1 of the sinking, 14-42 so small, but the Panasonics two lenses are the optical anti-tremor in it wants to.

Video mode - this part is probably the GF1 win, because GF1 support AVCHD 25/30 fps in 720p video, the file size than the E-P1 in Motion JPEG to have advantages, but the E-P1 is a stereo, GF1 only a single voice Road.

The screen - two are 3 screen, but GF1 is a 460K resolution, E-P1 is only 230K.

Overall, the operation - this part of the somewhat a matter of opinion, in short, GF1 is a pretty standard Panasonic system modeling, while the E-P1 (in my opinion-ri) is the classic appearance more. Operation of the E-P1 has two rollers, GF1 is only one, this part of the E-P1 is also regarded as dominant.

Flash, viewfinder - these two E-P1 is most regrettable that the local GF1 are filled, and built-in flash (GN only 6) is a pop-up style, the electronic viewfinder is a purchase with put it in a hot Location boots from the back of a connector to provide signal.

The size, weight - GF1 than the E-P1 narrow 7mm, high-1mm, thin 0.1mm, all counts are comparable. Then the weight of the GF1 just 285g, lighter than the E-P1, nearly 120 grams. On the one hand it can be said GF1 more convenient, but probably less E-P1 will be the kind of texture bar!

Finally, we can not forget the two biggest difference - GF1 is the lens anti-tremor, E-P1 is the fuselage CCD mobile anti-tremor. Of use, of course, anti-body trembling of the hands have an advantage, but the anti-tremor Panasonic to develop an optical technology for so long, in the actual effect is slightly better for. From the current information on the parties, it seems that GF1 will be slightly more expensive than the E-P1 1:00. Dear reader, how will you choose?
