The reason i'm not using a full DSLR is I find the way to large and bulky to carry around. They're also to overbearing when using them in a more casual environment. I find the small form factor of the GF1 is perfect for stealth photography, and the size of the camera makes it a lot easier to throw in my backpack and carry around. Also, I hate investing 1000's of dollars into a camera, because then I'm not as willing to take risks with the equipment. The cheaper the gear, the more risky I feel I can be with it, like getting neck deep in water and snapping off a few shots. You won't see me doing that with a $3K DSLR rig :) Thanks Alessandro!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say "made it tilt to the side where one edge is longer than the other"? If you want to shoot me an email with more details, I can try and help you out :) Thanks! Hi Tony,

I was happy to see you had the GF1 as I just picked one up myself. Trying to get familiar with menu differences from my Rebel and learn what all I can ignore and where to put more focus. Hope you're having a good winter too. Kinda bummed I'm gonna miss Festival this year. Hey Kert thanks allot for this rundown on your gear!

I'm pretty sure there's FD adapters for quite a few different cameras out there. The advantage of using them with the micro 4/3rds format is that the adapters Don't have glass in them, so the quality is a lot higher than the adapters that need a piece of glass in them. Just do a search on google for your camera and check out if there's ant adapters for you :) Hey jiwoon. I’m pretty sure there’s FD adapters for quite a few different cameras out there.

A+++ I have Canon FD lenses, and I never thought that I could use it with Digital Camera. Is the adapter for Panasonic GF1 only? I want to try micro 4/3rds cameras. It’s a great video, Kert. A+++
