1.9 is nice, but why would you want a camera without interchangeable lenses? Especially with the E-P1!

Yeah the 1/1.8 sensor is just too small for me.

yeah its F1,9 but with the small sensor you still wont get shallow DOF, Just the extra speed.

Still good though

I like the simple Ricoh designs.

CX1 is supposed to be pretty good for a P&S at a decent price, also has that brilliant LCD!
