I thought this bit was interesting:

Exactly 2 weeks later, Iâ€™m back in the shop returning the GF1, simple reason being that the lack of IS (Image Stabilisation) destroyed over 29% of the 1000+ photos that I shot with it (yes, I counted.)

To think that there used to be a time when we didn't have any kind of IS, and yet we survived without it!

- No post processing & 100% manual focus also.....
My first SLR was a Mamiya-Sekor....

There are still a lot of manual lenses being used - and not by amateurs...

This review actually stalled my choice considerably when I was trying to decide between an NX10 and an E-PL1. In fact, I think this review was a significant contribution to my ending up with neither.

Ian,
I think if I had to do it all over again, I'd have to seriously consider the E-P2 package with the included viewfinder instead....especially since I don't often use the flash on my E-PL1...

The E-P2 is still way overpriced. I'm hoping the new camera will push prices down.
