If so, why? If not, why?

Im not getting it cause I have no need for it but, since Ive seen more photos of it I kinda dig the design and the inclusion of a flash in such a tiny body gets point from me. The 14 or 20mm pancake should look nice on it too
More megapixels don't necessarily mean more resolution...

thinking about getting either the GF2 or the GF3. i've had the e-viewfinder on my past lx5 before and don't plan on using it in the future.

reason:
-i want to use the 20mm lens and the OCD doesn't think it belongs on an olympus body.
-portability since i don't have my lx5 anymore.

right now i'm pretty much undecided between the gf2 and gf3. i don't need the hot shoe on the gf2, but the gf3 is a bit more expensive.

Not this time around...
Just got the G3, and prefer a slightly larger body.
My Wife would like the GF3 though, although she likes the Panasonic ZX5 with a 14x zoom very much that I bought her a few months ago.

I am going to buy the GF3X (GF3 and new pancake zoom) and get the new 45-175mm X-series tele-zoom.  It is going to be my new minimalist travel kit.  I am quite excited! I love my EP-3 and will continue to use it as my "serious" camera, with my legacy lenses, etc., but this new two lens package and tiny body is really calling to me.

No... just bought the G3 because of the viewfinder. But the GF3 looks nice, probably a bit small for my hands!
