The E-P1 is the perfect companion to the G1 - let us know when you buy it!Hehe, I've G1 AND GH1 and would not change for all money of this world against "a toy" like E-P1
Haha, a camera without articulating display, without EVF, without flash .... - that is named "JOKE-P1" !The E-P1 is the perfect companion to the G1 - let us know when you buy it!
Or "M8"Haha, a camera without articulating display, without EVF, without flash .... - that is named "JOKE-P1" !
The M8 has an excellent view/rangefinder that allows precise focusing. Try to manually focus, judge colors or composition on the low resolution LCD of the E-P1, particularly in bright sunlight. The absence of a VF - be it electronic or optical - classifies it as a very good looking, very expensive P/S camera.:thumbdown:Or "M8" -Not every camera needs EVF/ArticulatedDisplay/etc...
I wasn't dissing the M8 - I get that camera.The M8 has an excellent view/rangefinder that allows precise focusing.

I have taken very good pictures with a P/S, too. IMHO the E-P1 is highly overpriced for a P/S and not very pocketable, especially with the zoom lens. It looks great, though, and might be a good conversation piece.And some of my best photos have been taken with a p&s...
Well, some would disagree. I find that the files from the E-P1 are much better than a p&s, though not as clean as out of my K20d. Which is exactly what I would expect given the sensor size. I like the look of the noise, and the camera is very unobtrusive in use. I agree it is not pocketable, but neither is an M8. I consider the DLux4 barely a pocket camera, and in fact I usually carry it in a small form fitting bag with shoulder strap or just carry it by hand. I do carry the E-P1 by hand as well. And I infinitely prefer the E-P1 to G1 - that is a camera that is just not comfortable for me to handle (to small for my hands) and I hate the look of the EVF.I have taken very good pictures with a P/S, too.

Embarrasses? Why? I'd go with a Panasonic LX3 since the E-P1 is no smaller than the G1, it just lacks the prism overhang and the grip.I decided to sell my G1 and purchase an E-P1. I hate giving up the EVF and faster AF (from what I read); however, every time I try and take it to a social event my wife complains that the camera is too big and it embarrasses her if I take it out to take pictures
I am in fact playing with the idea of getting a DLUX 4 or the corresponding Pana. With your experience of both cameras, what is speaking in favor of the E-P1?The E-P1 gives a different look than either my DLux4
