GH3 in Oz

Received my GH3 yesterday from Gerry Gibbs, WA

Delivered cost A$1316.50, with international guarantee.

It was on back-order for months.

Noticed the extra 140gms (32 from the larger battery) though the improved grip does offset the effect of this.

Like the changes to the controls.

Viewfinder seems fine to me.

Got WiFi working with my Galaxy Note phone. Both for remote control and file transfer to my PC.

But, the file transfer is way inferior to my Eye-Fi card.

I took the camera out, shot 68 RAW on an 16GB Class 6 card. Aborted WiFi transfer when faced with an in camera message that the transfer time would be 168 minutes. I think that I'll only use this feature if it is the only available way to transfer files.

Here is one of my shots. A Predatory Mosquito, male, Toxorhynchites speciosus. Oly 60mm macro lens, Metz 15 MS-1 ring flash. RAW conversion via Silkypix Developer Studio Pro 5 for Panasonic. Further editing with Picture Window Pro.

Male Predatory Mosquito. Toxorhynchites speciosus.

Thanks for your opinion about the camera.

The picture is very good, lot's of detail and good colors. I only don't like to see mosquito's around.
