    also meatball,

    What deal did you see for the GF1? was it with the 14-45mm or 20mm?
    be aware panasonic changed the 14-45mm to a 14-42mm which is a tad softer, but still good, its just if you have a choice between them, the 14-45mm is better.

    The 20mm is incredibly sharp, ive seen many pro photographers, with high end glass go on about how amazing the 20mm is, ive had people at weddings with d700's go on about how amazing it is too, asking to 'have a go'!

    but generally id recommend the E-PL1 IF you dont mind -
    - the plastic case
    -plastic buttons
    -slower focusing
    -screen black out from shot to shot, seen here -

    I went for the GF1, because it felt better, felt faster, quicker focusing, but the E-pl1 is great, better high iso shots, great OOC jpegs.

    But as i said check that other thread i linked to, lots of stuff in there from me and other people, some QBNers have posted pics in there too :)
