Turn the corner. 45-200 lens. Jpeg to CS4, processed with Nik Silver EfxPro (custom preset). I think there's a little camera shake present in this one.

At this point, I am still just exploiting the jpegs (although I'm shooting RAW as well). I'm waiting for ACR to support the G1. Silkypix just doesn't do it for me.
I'm shooting with default sharpening at the moment and I find that I need to do a fair bit of sharpening in PP. Right now, I use the Ascough Actions Big Picture sharpening action which seems to do what I expect the image to look like. Hopefully, once ACR supports the G1, we'll have a better PP route.
Handling wise, I'm very impressed with the size and weight of this camera. I can fit the body, and the two lenses as well as the Oly FL-36R flash into a very small bag.
At the moment, I'm shooting mostly on custom presets:
CUST1: A mode, Dynamic B&W, ISO 100
CUST2: A mode, Dynamic colour, ISO 100
CUST3: A mode, Dynamic B&W, iISO
This little camera has
so many features, it'll take a fair while to fully explore and whittle down the subtleties to make up more appropriate and useful custom presets. I find the ELVIS to be excellent. I have no issues (at least none yet) with the VF, and the swing out LCD is one of the main reasons I bought the camera. Without doubt though, this is a camera kit I'll grab almost anytime over my D300s. The size and light weight make it a true go to camera.
Cheers,
