Does anybody have this camera?

I'm considering this one and the Panasonic G2. However, I do have a question on the lenses...

can any 4/3rds lenses work on either of these?


Thank you!

Yes,

Any 4/3 lens will work with these cameras WITH an adapter. Any micro 4/3 lens with both these cameras without the need of any additional adapters. And a ton of other lens will work with both cameras with the appropriate adapter.

I don't have this one but I do have the eP1 and it's great. Picture quality is very nice even with the kit lens. If you like primes... I would highly recommend picking up the Pan 20mm f1.7 or the Oly 17mm f2.8.

Just from the review data, I'd say grab the Panny 20/1.7 over the Oly 17/2.8 if you can. The 20 is head and shoulders over the 17, aside from being faster.

And just to reiterate what Slushie said: four-thirds and micro four-thirds are two different mount systems. You'll need an adapter to use four thirds on micro four-thirds. But you should retain full function of the lens if you do so. If you adapt a manual focus lens for micro four-thirds, you'll lose autofocus and aperture control from the body (which will affect how you meter)--so you only want to do this with lenses that have aperture rings on them (e.g., do not try to adapt Canon EOS or Nikon G lenses).
