The AF100 Book - availability and ordering info

[Robert Sharpe]

Amazon.com won't let me ship to Canada. ??

Arg! Ya I just tried to buy it and get it shipped to Canada, but no deal. Makes no sense to me. Unless Amazon.ca is getting it?

So what's the latest with the book shipping or being sold in Canada?

[Barry_Green]

There's a whole lot of them that have just cleared brokerage and will be delivered today or tomorrow. You should start seeing the books showing up at authorized Panasonic dealers shortly thereafter.

[Robert Sharpe]

Ah yes. I talked to some Panny reps at February Freeze (A local pre-NAB show here in Toronto) and they confirmed that we should be able to get the books through our dealers

Updated the first post, including a link to Nigel Cooper's review of the book on http://www.dvuser.co.uk/content.php?CID=267.

Just got the AF100 book and I have a question

Thanx Barry for writing this book.

As for my question:
On page 9 of your book you talk about lens compatibility.
I thinking of buying the Olympus 12-60mm f/2.8-4 ED SWD, but I can't find any compatibility chart on it for the Af101. Is it safe to say that the functionality will be the same as for the zuiko f2.0 that is on the chart.
Or do I beter buy the
Panasonic 14-50mm f/2.8-3.5?





To anyone else, the book is a must buy.

Thanx and greetings from Belgium,
jean

Hi Jean, no it is not safe to assume anything about lens compatibility. If it's not listed in the chart, then it may not be compatible. We have a user here, "snp", who has the 12-60 and has been reporting on it, so you may want to direct your questions to him, he's been very helpful; look at this thread for some comments.

Hi Barry, you've shepherded us all through the DVX, the HVX and now the AF100. My camera arrived at my doorstep today and your book was in the box! I was not expecting it, but there it was. Thanks once again, you make it clear in times of doubt. Cheers, Ray

Barry,

I sent you my card for the book on 15 Feb 2011. I'm curious about the turn around times. I read the manual thrice, but I'm so used to learning my camera's true potential through you that waiting for the book is going to be difficult. Thanks for the DVX, HVX books. I learned so much through them.

They get sent out via UPS Ground within (usually) 48 hours of receiving the card. So you should see yours in, oh, maybe a week?

This is good news. Thanks Barry.

I'm ordering it from the DV user online shop right now.

I'm dying to get my hands on this book!!! Any word for distribution in Canada? Thanks Barry

[Barry_Green]

Should be available to every authorized Panasonic reseller throughout Canada right now... ask your local dealer about it, they should have it or be able to get it.

Thanks Barry,

I'll look into it right away. I own your HVX book and it rocks!!! I just got my AF100 last month and I love it. Only thing is there are some functions that aren't quite clear from the actual panasonic manuals. I'm so excited to get my hands on this book!!!
