    I know this mostly varies by end user and pricing would be model specific however, I’m looking to possibly purchase another machine soon as I’m getting the bug. Is the FZ-G1 preferred for some over the CF-20? I’ve seen many for sale online haven’t pulled the trigger.

    I saw this FZ-G1 pop up earlier on the bay that brings a bunch of extra goodies. What do you guys think?

    Looks like a lot of extra batteries. Has the mini battery so you can hot swap the main batteries.

    Looks cool, because there is a kit to transform it into more compact version :)
    I prefer FZ-G1 + bt keyboard and don't like CF-20's form-factor.
    One thing I would like to see in my FZ-G1 is USB-C charging (in addition to it's standard one).

    I couldn’t agree more. USB-C add on would be great. What BT keyboard are you using now, ikey?

    Rapoo E6100 white, though I can't definitely recommend it - very comfortable, but I can't turn off sleep mode completely, only through bluetooth power management in device manager, and sometimes have to wait for it to wake up. And it's indestructible :)) [​IMG]

    Definitely looks sleek. What do you use for mouse pad / trackpad? I’m assuming just paring it while using the touchscreen?
