    The olympus cameras should be considered before you buy the Gf1 though. i mean the E-P1, E-P2 and E-PL1.

    The big difference is the oly cameras have inbuilt image stabilization. Panasonic have gone with lens based IS, which is much more beneficial for video (as the video becomes stabalised - which isnt possible on the pen cameras) and equally (if not a fraction better from what ive read) good for stills. Obviously these lenses with Is can be used on the oly pen cameras.

    The 20mm (and the new 14mm) pancake do not have IS. The 20mm has a 1.7 aperture so it isnt that important.

    • hey, thanks for the tips - really useful advice :)
