It's getting down to the wire and I need to make a decision about a camera for my wife. I'm almost convinced to go with the GF-1. I know how many opinions there are likely to be regarding the many fine options available in this category of cameras, but I'm hoping you can provide some simple advice.
I'm thinking of the zoom and not the pancake. Any other bits of wisdom? Suggestions or even (!) alternatives?
I thank you and my wife thanks you (in advance).

p.s. I'm guessing this will inspire the usual (and important) questions regarding her shooting preferences and goals for photography. I will offer the following general info in that regard: She has a background that includes 35mm film photography. She's now a casual shooter and wants a camera to perform without lots of menu required. There's some indication she wants to explore beyond what a typical P&S will allow. She doesn't shoot landscape, products, architecture. She likes people, flowers and pets.
