    That was... fast.
    Sounded more like a response to GF1 than a refresh, but the faster these beauties advance, the better!

    I'm in between now... viewfinder is a must for me, and now both have it.

    I see movie recording also got a manual shutter/apperture too.

    Flash could be useful but not that important.

    And there's the in body IS... #olympusep2

    If the E-P1 gets a good amount cheaper though I just can't justify getting this one. #olympusep2

    Your review is accurate and informative, however, shooting watch pictures is never easy. With more practice I bet you could get a better shot with this camera. The watch crystal and polished case are highly reflective, and require special consideration in regards to lighting and focusing. #panasonicgf1review

    This line should be in every single camera review until all the camera companies finally get it. And mobile phone handset manufacturers. #panasonicgf1review

    I'll wait a bit and get this as my secondary camera...
    I really needed something smaller that could capture videos, and be used as an SLR too.
    Seems it won't completely replace my XSi, but still.. #panasonicgf1review

    I bought one as soon as it was released. It's a fabulous camera. The only thing I would argue is that the 20mm pancake lens is the definative lens for the GF-1. You should own that before anything else. #panasonicgf1review

    Check this photo I took using my GF1 of 395 South on Sunday. It's a pretty good starter camera and I know very very little about photography.

    Aperture was about 26
    Shutter was open 28 seconds
    ISO 100

    It makes me weep that Panny didn't put the image stabilizer in the sensor. They could've added it and also had it in the lens, which would've been unstoppable. The way things are now, I'm paralyzed trying to choose between the GF1 and the EP1. They both have what I want, but neither are perfect on their own. #panasonicgf1review

    @mullingitover: I'm in a slightly different camp. I like the IS to be in the lens. It works better. Plus, if you're new to DSLRs then you really don't have any lenses to worry about so you'll be starting from scratch. That means you can start with the Panny lenses with built in IS. #panasonicgf1review

    @Noobs-R-Us: I agree that IS in the lens is nice, but it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. You can still get IS lenses for your EP1 (or Sony SLRs which also do sensor-based IS), and get a couple f-stops out of the IS (especially useful with the smaller, noisier micro 4/3 sensor) even if the lens doesn't have it. #panasonicgf1review

    @mullingitover: Yes, in a perfect world you will have both but the problem is you will sacrafice cost, size and weight. To me you sort of have to choose your poison. I rather have the lighter weight, smaller size. Remember, 20 years ago and earlier when people used film there was no such thing as IS. I recall lots of people taking very fine photos without it.

    If you're old or have MS or Parkinsons then you have more concerns than IS. #panasonicgf1review

    are we ever getting an optical viewfinder on a micro 4/3? It's pretty much all I'm waiting for. #panasonicgf1review

    @nuclearchinchila: NO, it doesn't make sense. EFV are apporaching that of Optical. EFV can also do many things that Optical cannot, such as show you the effects of shutter. #panasonicgf1review

    @nuclearchinchila: Doesn't make much sense adding and optical viewfinder, since the mirror was cut out.
    And since the GF1 already has an (optional?) eletronic viewfinders, things won't be much better than that without meaningless size sacrificing... #panasonicgf1review

    @Bokusatsu_Tenshi: Ok so, I incorrectly used the terminology for "optical viewfinder." I just meant a built-in compact viewfinder that's better shielded from sun/glare than the standard LCD screen on the back. The kind you use one eye on and put your face to the camera. My bad. #panasonicgf1review

    @nuclearchinchila: The GF-1 has an optional electronic viewfinder that mounts to the hotshoe. Mark didn't cover it in this review, but it's available. That weird hotshoe cover that extends down in the back is also protecting the data port for that viewfinder. #panasonicgf1review
