Initial thoughts on the GF2 announcement — Satellite — Craig Mod

That’s pretty much what I am after as well. I think a Leica M9 is an incredible sexy and capable camera (without ever having used one) and the only full-frame camera I’d be interested in. But financially it’s just so out of reach.

I pretty much agree with his first impressions of the recently announced GF2. I think I will still rather get a GF1 for a lower price instead. The new features of the GF2 are just not compelling enough. And getting the latest and greatest is just a waste of money anyway.

I agree - thinking about buying a gf1 for some time, I was waiting for the GF2 announcement. For two reasons: check the new features & decide whether to get the new one, or the old.

I expected the GF2 to develop into a completely different direction. As far as I can see, it seems to be more of a mainstream version of the GF1 (no more mode dial & shutter preview). And the main disappointment on my side: it does not introduce an optical viewfinder.

Which is cool on the bottom line: the GF1 seems to be the better cam for me, and its price is gonna fall. Let’s see if santa’s reading my timeline g.

And: you need a comment system, Daniel ;-)! Reblogging seems a bit heavy for leaving comments to me.

Doesn’t toto with karakuri look tempting to you?
