25 January 2012. The 45-175 firmware update seems to have been removed from your list. Does this mean we can now expect another update that will resolve the OIS problem?

A list of Panasonic (Lumix) shops in the Glasgow Area re advice on lens that is compatible to the G1 Camera will it be the Pentax ,Nikon, or Sigma
It would be most helpful if this information was available on the internet from Lumix so that we can fit other lens to our cameras with the help of the DMW -MA lens adaptors or a list with each of the lens adaptors
Hope that you can help with this

Can anyone confirm wether or not the firmware updates apply to the GX1, mine was purchased 2 weeks ago (with the 14-42X power zoom) and the 45-175 is on back order !! ??? I am new to this type of camera and so far the manual does not give me enough information (it fells very complicated), I need a book/guide/course to help me along – any suggestions? please :0)
