I recently purchased a M8 and love it, and just ordered the new Canon S90IS for a point and shoot I can carry around in my pocket. I also shoot with the Nikon D700 for sports or some landscape.
I am attracted to the GF-1 for its small size, nice f/1.7 20mm lens, ability to use my M lenses with adapter, and very good video. However, I am having a hard time justifying the purchase, since anytime I want something bigger and better than my S90, and smaller than the D700, I would reach for the M8. I have a hard time buying the GF-1 mainly for the video.
For those with an M8/M9 and a GF-1 (or are planning to get a GF-1), what are the main reasons you are getting it and when do you see yourself using it instead of the M8/M9?
Thanks,
Peter
