I have searched for this on the forum but have not found the answers I am looking for really...
I currently have a Canon 40D with 24-70 f2.8L and 70-200 f4L lenses.
I constantly find myself not bothering to take my camera because it is big, heavy and conspicuous. I feel I am probably missing some great candid shots of the kids (ages 2 and 3) for this very reason.
The main times I find myself using the Canon are on planned photographic trips which with family and work commitments are few and far between!
I don't photograph wildlife or really and sports and if anything I tend to take more macro pictures which I presume could be done easily on the GF1 with a dedicated macro lens?
I cannot see myself being 100% happy with a compact (the wife has an LX2 which is ideal for her) so am considering selling up and buying a GF1 with the 20mm lens.
So...... Has anyone made the same leap or can anyone offer any wise words?
Cheers
