I've had a play with the GF-1 and with the 20mm f1.7 it is actually just about compact enough to stick in a pocket.
Maybe you should have gone for the 17mm with the Oly then?

Now if someone can fit a full frame digital sensor in a trip-sized body........
The next one the beginning of next year is the EP2, and that's considerably more expensive...
Is this GF1 and the EP1 the first of a new breed? Are we likely to see more cameras like this... cheaper alternatives perhaps?
I think the GF1 is going to be a good choice for me aswell.
Its awkward lugging a D70 around, but i really want a nikkor 24-70mm. This is around 1k second hand, meaning for that I could get a GF1 and 35mm lens.
I can't see a GF1 replacing a DSLR for me. I want something to compliment my Nikon system and the GF1 is that. Everyone is different though, and it could be the right system for you, just bear in mind the pros and cons and don't get swept along by the hype, every DSLR/MFT camera you can buy is capable of stunning results.
This is a good point, I really like the concept of MFT and will be getting the GF1 either this week or next (but this depends on what Ricoh come up with). But I would only use it as a backup to my D700, more likely for when I go travelling rather than a full replacement.
If leica and Sony were to join in, it would probably establish the Format in the long term.
Might be usefull setting up a MFT hints tips thread up, as more and more people seem to be aquiring them??
So, they are not compacts nor DSLR, TLR, or any existing (?) logical group... :shrug: ... what then is this new breed going to be called...
DILDO ...
Why isn't that word blocked by the sweary filter, yet you can't write **** Turpin, the highwayman's name?
Well I did it ... I'm now a member of the GF1 club!
Ended up with:
GF1 Body [Black]
Panasonic 20mm f1.7 pancake lens + 46mm Hoya UV Filter
Panasonic 45-200mm Superzoom [on order] + 52mm Hoya UV Filter
Panasonic EFV
Lowepro Nova 160 AW
I told the guy I'd seen their prices on TP and he asked me to show him the thread. He remembered Chillimonster - apparently they have been posted on DPReview too so they are likely seeing some business from this. He said this is one of the fastest selling cameras they's had in years.
I was speaking with the manager earlier when i was organising the reserved 45-200 i ordered on Saturday
Did you get the handshake treatment too?
Ah, he said he'd got a delivery of 45-200's today. I was trying to get him to sell me one and re-order for the original buyer, lol
I will definitely be ordering any future kit from their website. Stores like this deserve to have our business.
GF1 ordered from Mathers but they're out of stock so i won't get mine until next Tuesday. Still i'm saving £80 from purchasing it from Mathers as apposed to going to Warehouse Express. It's going to be a looooooong week!
Mine just arrived this morning from them. The batteries on charge as I type. What's worse than waiting for the camera to arrvie is having to wait for the battery to charge before you can play with it!

Have you seen the price of batteries for them? :annoyed:
Damn, i thought i was the only one with that coat.
Damn... ... I must be the only one without that coat...
Nah,
I had that coat, but i put it down somewhere and now i can't find it
