Hi,
I've been watching the postings about the Panasonic G1 and am attracted to it because of the size. I have lately been leaving my Nikon D80 home and toting my GRD II mainly because of ease of carry. With two kids the GRD is much easier to manage.
My question is that if I sold the Nikon D80 and moved "sideways" to the G1 to gain the benefit of size would I suffer any IQ loss of any type? The G1 has a smaller sensor but its a step onward with technology, they are similar resolutions so is it reasonable to expect the same or maybe better output? I do tend to print a lot of my images.
I've only tended to use the one kit lens and something within the 28-100mm range (old school lenses) is all I mainly use so the G1 lens offerings are fine for me.
thoughts? Thanks
Tim
