IM REALLY LOOKING FOWARD to the gf2  i hope ins small size isnt an impediment to functionality


i expect full dials and all buttons and a lens mount that does not overwhelm the body like the nex

fingers crossed

All of your fears seem to be realized. I just hope Olympus doesn't go down this road because it's totally pointless to have an interchangeable lens camera this small....
If its 350-450$ and somehow has in body IS then it's worth it

Why?
The NEX is a huge seller in Japan....There's no reason why Panasonic shouldn't capitalize off this market niche...

Anything "gadgety" sells well in Japan, so of course making money off of that market is a great idea. But it doesn't make the camera anymore useable.

43 rumors is lacking on info, and that's all I got. If anybody else sees something post it. It seems optical IS is here to stay. Will post anything I hear.

the sensor is the same as the G1 and the GF1 (no, its not a typo, I triple checked) Imaging resource has samples of all ISOs. In my opinion, personally, to me, they're really disappointing. ISO 6400 is a step down from the G2.

voyager, this is officially not a rumor (all of the info I posted is verified), sorry, I wanted to post all I had as fast as I could instead of starting a new topic, move it if you deem it necessary. Thanks.

I think I would rather have the LX5 I pulled the trigger on a couple days ago.
