Got the M size to keep the GF1 in. Fits into my bigger Ortlieb bag which I carry daily, and can be attached to the chest strap of my backpacks. No reason not to bring the camera anymore then.

Good bag. I got myself the Ortlieb Aqua Zoom for the DSLR when hiking, but as a GF1 might find its way to me this would be a good option for it. Were did you buy it, Partioaitta?
Actually Retkiaitta was the place which had a few in the shelf. The GF1 with the 20mm pancake fits in nicely, and I think a second lens could fit in there as well in a separate pouch (thinking about getting the 14-45), as well as a spare battery and other small stuff into the inside pockets.
rollofunk.blogspot.com; You saved my day again.
I got a GF 1 in for testing, and have the 7-14 lens with it, holy mother of sweetness, what a great lens! Need to check my Partiokauppa later and see what pouches they have.
Other questions, what's the battery live of the GF 1? I plan on taking it out on a three days, two night trip this weekend, and am wondering if the battery can survive that time in temps of -5°C to -12°C with me snapping an average of 100 pics a day; what do you think? And what size SD Card do you use?
I'm pretty impressed with the battery life. Haven't done any overnight trips, but spent two whole days out in temps from -5 to -20 without any problem (no flash using, though). I'd say three days should be ok if you can keep the camera inside your jacket/sleeping bag for warmth when not in use. I have a 8Gb card, and shooting RAW the camera tells me I can get 500-600 pics on it. If I go somewhere for a week I'll need another card, or shoot jpeg (though I don't like that much anymore). RAW files turn out at around 12-13Mb.
Thanks for the quick answer. I think my 2 gb card should be fine, about 300 photos in JPEG + highest resolution fit on it, that suits my needs - I don't edit my photos, so RAW doesn't make much sense. Maybe I should start, though, with the editing. Ah well.
The Silkypix RAW conversion software that comes with the GF1 is easy to get started with, and there's lot's of depth for those who really want to tweak. I use Photoshop daily at work, but been using only Silkypix recently for photo editing.
hi, new to the site, thanks.
