Nor me. My main goal was the 20, but I find myself enjoying shooting with the GF1 a lot--and the EVF is fine for the body and I have the G1 for longer lenses, critical shooting, etc.I'm not kicking myself for getting the GF1 last month.

it does ... here's hoping its not as whiizzz whizz whirr as the 4/3 version isThat 9-18mm f4-5.6 looks promising!
Won't be out until the first half of 2010. So you have at a bare minimum approx. 2 months to wait or as much as almost 8 months.it does ... here's hoping its not as whiizzz whizz whirr as the 4/3 version is
does anyone have the 7-14 pany to compare it?
with the GF-1 for instance they could ditch the flash and put a basic optical viewfinder there!more toys...stupid ergonomics...in the re@L WORLD OF CROWDS AND HERDS... clip on view finders have a very short half life... something like the old Leica M ergonomics would keep the nose off the LCD, and vanish the "cLip on EVF" to the life stylers and posers
Well,I retract my previous comment about Thom Hogan getting it wrong. The just-released Olympus lens roadmap promises:
* a fisheye (8mm?)
* a wide (14mm?)
* a macro (45mm)
* a super telephoto zoom (90-270mm?)
In other words, Olympus will almost exactly duplicate the Panasonic lens range.
Their lack of courage and imagination is almost beyond belief.
Just as well the Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers will promptly provide adapters that will allow us to use our legacy MF lenses on Samsung's upcoming and Sony's rumored APS-C sensor EVIL cameras. And that the cost of the EVIL camera bodies is not so high as to discourage one from easily switching systems.
I believe Ricoh will come up with something very special. It's just that their rumored (imaginative) lens mount may not lend itself to the use of adapted lenses.I'm quietly hopeful that Ricoh will come up with something special as well.
