Panasonic GF1 is now real and looks very nice! That 20mm f/1.7 pancake keeps saying "buy me" every time I look at it. The tilting electronic viewfinder is a neat concept and the flash mechanism is interesting too.
Hey I think it's time for my wife to get a new camera....again. :^) I think I can convince her that this is better then her Fuji. I just won't tell her the price. Until after I order it for her ;^)
want! Where is Nikon's answer to these Micro 4/3rds cams?
Does the GF1 have anything to do with the EP-1? Seems suspicious, they probably share some sort of parts.
Please Nikon make one too, not that there is anything wrong with Panasonic

I wouldn't want one without a viewfinder. What would be perfect would be the a FF digital body that took the Contax G2 lenses and had a great bright rangefinder.
Try and use it in some bright sunshine, using the screen… You'll be back to your D40 in no time :o)
A new Pen will come out before or around Xmas with an electronic viewfinder. May be you all want to wait for it ?
I'd like to see Nikon do something here, but I'm not sure that brand matters for me with a 4/3 camera. Of course it would be nice to have a tiny camera that was compatible with all my lenses, but its not like I'm going to take it out with a 70-200 attached. The reason to have one of these cameras is for its size. So I'll probably have a pancake lens attached 95% of the time.
I'm curious to find out if there is any shutter lag with these cameras. That's my main gripe about my Point and shoot. Low light performance would be nice, but I'm happy to use my D40 w\ my 35mm for that sort of stuff. Its still a fairly small combo.
