2) Video Record can use 6 ART Fliters

3) With the m4/3 – 4/3 adapter your E-P1 can autofocus normal four thirds lenses!!!

Olympus Australia

I received this information few days ago:

“Olympus Australia are going to start giving away a FL-36R or Vertical grip with E-30 kits from the first of June. Because they feel E-620 has been taking sales, and the E-30 has not been as popular in Australia as it has in the rest of the world.

Panasonic Australia are expecting a delivery of G1H around the 10th of June, they should be in the stores a few days after this.”

Many thanks to the one who gave us the info!
