In reply to Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 Review: World's First Micro Four Thirds Digicam
NOt bad for someone trying to enter the photography world I guess. Something my GF could use.

Question, why leave out Pentax all the time? I use both there older ist* DSLR and the K10 and have a multitude of telephoto, adjustable and prime lens and the K10 especially is a wonderful professional camera that I use. I am a professional photographer, shot weddings, school day and High School GRaduation photos and am completely baffled by the exclussion of Pentax? I like Nikon and Canon's don't get me wrong, I've used both but I just went with Pentax in the end for pricing and the wide range of affordable and spectacular lens. k-mounts rock, lens from the 1970's and up work on both my Pentax DSLR's they're great that way.

Anways, just a question, I had, but this Panasonic is looking nice for entry level users for sure.

@e0ytk: I disagree. Get your girlfriend (or any other entry level user) an entry-level Canon or Nikon (or Pentax!) DSLR with a good normal-view prime lens. You're a pro, you know how learning with solid basics is the best way to go.
