The GF2 isnt too dissimilar to the GF1, its slightly smaller with less buttons and no mode dial. The gf2 also has a touch screen which is ok. The GF1 and GF2 output is near identical, so if i were you, id save some money and get a GF1, its larger, but i think the gf2 is verging on too small for comfort, the gf1 has more dials and switches and personally i think it looks nicer.
the 20mm lens is a must have too. Its crazy sharp, 2nd sharpest m43 lens as far as i know, its 2nd to the 45mm pana leica macro that costs about £600.
Also buddha bear in mind that in high iso tests the olympus pen models might look better, but the ACTUAL iso rating of the pens is a lot less. AND the actual iso rating of the GF1 is a lot higher
I.E. - GF1 @ iso 800 is actually more like 1200
and oly pen models @ iso 800 is more like 700Oly do this to make their cameras look better than they really are in tests. But in practice they both have about the same amount of noise if set to the same settings
