Alan, I completely appreciate your experience with the GF1; it's a very nice little camera. The thing is that I have essentially the same experience with my GH1 when I have the 20/1.7 lens on it. My usual way of working with it is to carry my shoulder bag (invariably the Hadley Pro) slung around in front, and cradle the camera in my hands as I rest them on top of the bag. So not only do I

Matt, I guess it depends on the size of your pocket ;o)

I also was a devoted EOS film guy, utterly in love with my EOS10 which was pretty much state of the art back then. OK, the EOS was metal and a slightly faster flash-sync but that was it.

I sold all my EOS gear to raise the deposit on my house (should have kept those digital-friendly lenses - who knew?)

I'

Alan, thanks for the great comment. I don't agree that there's a significant size difference between the GF1 and the GH1, but I also wouldn't consider the GF1 'pocketable' even with the little 14/2.5 on it.

I use the 20/1.7 for more than half of my photos, with the 7-14 contributing almost all of the rest. I know some photographers who prefer the 14-140 on a GF1,

Many thanks, Matthew, for an intelligent and informative review. Having sold all my EOS gear after 25 years of EOS loyalty (man and boy, film and digital) I am now depending on a Canon S90 compact (surprisingly competent for a compact) while choosing the next "system" camera. Definitely going EVIL rather than OIL next time. Brief ownership of an EOS 1000D convinced me that Live View

I was hoping for a lot more detail on the 14-140 lens..

I already have the GF1 and yesterday tried out that lens in a store, just for a few shots. Yep, it's huge and bulky compared to the camera but I found myself holding the lens as much as the camera anyway :o)

For me the real beauty of the GF1 is that you can change the lens, thus totally changing the character of the

Yes, I actually found your site while researching the 35-100. For a while, you were the top Google result for "Olympus 35-100 review". I consider that a win, as your take was vastly more enjoyable than the standard "it's sharp, heavy, and doesn't distort" databases.

I'm really interested in that upcoming comparison between the Olympus and Panasonic 7-14

Thanks, NOBA Lee. The pancake is absolutely on my list, and after I had a chance to try the 17/2.8 and the 20/1.7 side-by-side, there's no question that I'm holding out for the Panasonic lens. That, the 7-14, and 14-140 seem to be the perfect trinity for the GH1. As soon as my favourite camera store gets it in, I'll be buying one. I'll also do some comparisons for the size

A very enjoyable review. I've been researching these and was pretty much sold on a GF1 or an E-P1/2, but now I'm rethinking my position. Back to the camera shop to fiddle some more, I guess.

I definitely want the pancake just to have a tiny kit, and I doubt I'll use the longer or telephoto zooms. But the 7-14 is very tempting, being smaller, cheaper, and just as fast

Seriously, thanks - I do appreciate all comments, but I especially like ones that are happy. I'm glad you liked it.
