I have a Lumix GF1 in which i only used for a 3 week trip this past month. I have a Canon 18-55 lense in which i purchased with the camera, which is a higher quality lens than the Lumix, but..... The Lumix lens is designed specifically for the camera, therefore you can use all of the automatic functions, where, with the Canon lens, you can't. There is an adapter I purchased that allows for any lens to be added.
I also have an extra battery, a 4gig high-speed memory card as well as a carrying case that fits everything.

The camera takes great quality photos, I just don't need such an intricate camera, for I am a novice..

Just to clarify, the Canon lens won't auto-focus on the Panny body. Also, the Panny sensor doubles the lens range. 18-55 changes to 36-110mm (35 mm equivalent).

I think the price is too high. I've seen cheaper.

I appreciate your feedback and the clarification.. yes, the camera could be cheaper, I didnt think it was too high a price, since i have the bag and extra battery, which cost me about 60,000 won total.
Like i said, i am certainly open to any reasonable offers..

Fair enough. Nice camera this, I have to say!

Did you try the 20mm prime?

@ jacksthirty.. I have never tried the camera with a lumix brand lens.. I bought the camera with the Canon lens, and that is all i have used. I have heard great things about the 20mm though.. I was thinking of buying it, but since i have a point and shoot and i need the money, i am trying to sell the Lumix and save my money for now..
