My Weekend trip to Shimoda Izu Peninsula with the Panasonic GF2 and Fuji X-E1
I just got the Fuji X-E1 2 weeks ago and the Panasonic GF2 a few days ago. I was excited to take both of them for a spin. It's summer here in Japan and I missed the beach so we headed out and took the train for 4.5 hours to the nearest white sand beach from Tokyo that I know, the sleepy town of Shimoda in Izu Peninsula.
These first 13 shots were taken with the GF2 + 14mm f/2.5.
1. Waiting for the train.

9. Crazy lady:wink: jumping in front of a traditional building in this town, apparently made of stones that are common here
10. When it was time to eat, we head out to a local eatery, I ordered a bowl of Ramen and the lady asked me if I want the big serving for the same price. Of course I said yes.... then they served me this. A serving good for one person :eek:
11. Since I used the GF2 as back up camera to the Fuji, here's the Fuji camera in action
12. Here's my usual landscape kit, some filters, a bag for longer lens and a small bag for the camera, all attached to a belt that I sling around my shoulder.
13. Just wanna show the old school shutter release.
Here's a few from the Fuji X-E1 with the 18-55mm and 55-200mm

I have to say, I quite like the GF2. I did not expect much from it as I only got it to test around and to use some of my m43 lenses that I have. It definitely exceeded my expectation. I always read that the GF2 have a noisy sensor etc but I think it makes for a fine second camera. :smile:
I will be selling it as I originally intended and not because it is a bad camera. :smile:
Thanks for looking folks. :happy-084:
