And how many arms does this camera cost?
Programmer
http://knime.wordpress.com
If I remember, not much, 110,000 yenes, or 1050 USD.
It's a Compact SLR, and I saw many comments about how good it is... hope buy it one day, unfortunately we don't have giveaway of cameras here =P

And the rest.. As I always say, I'd rather have the bulk for cheaper, than the tinyness (is that even a word?) for more.

Thats an awesome camera. I was wondering whether id see you with the e-p1 or the gf1 first. They both seem fairly awesome.

I really like the look of the camera. I've been trying to decide what camera I should get at the end of the year. I've been looking at the Panasonic Lumix LX3 and Sigma DP2, any suggestions?
Programmer
http://knime.wordpress.com
Brand new LX3 and E-P1 are better than both LX3 and DP2.
But if you need a lower cost Camera, go for LX3.

http://thehappyninjadrawn.wordpress.com
I was looking at both the E-P1 and GF1, but they were out of my price range. I might end up getting the LX3, but one of my mates suggested the DP2.

awesome for the perfect low angler XD

PEN E-P1 is too close to EpiPen for my taste.

I have been suggested to carry an Epipen before and my fear of needles (because of this) makes the Epipen really really freaky to me. :s
And if you watched Mission Impossible 3, I think it's the first scene where Ethan Hunt injects this arm-sized Epipen into the sternum of the girl he's trying to save.

Man!! You are going to have too many gears taking up precious space in your house!! If you don't mind you can put some in my house! LOL!
Me still wants the GH1 for its full HD capability... however I've heard its low frame rate and high compression rate is giving out "not ideal" results... I guess I'll still have to wait...

Man, the freebies you get!
Student
The main thing I don't like about this camera is its size.
A compact DSLR seems to never be able to match up to the caliber of a full sized DSLR right?
EP-1 and GF-1 are both compact SLRs?
I kinda think that if you're going to use lens and SLR-like features, might as well sacrifice portability for power. But do tell us, how does the EP-1 and GF-1 perform compared to a DSLR?
If it doesn't match up exactly, it doesn't seem to be worth it.
I rather like the size of the LX3 (:
Yay for freebies!
That's a sexy camera! ^^

Nice get, seeing as you influenced quite a bit of comrades to get a Lumix LX3 it would be smart for panasonic to send you the GF1. I look forward to the pictures you take with the E-P1.

I like the retro-ish kind of look it has. Unfortunately, I have just purchased a major appliance and it will be a while till my purchasing power returns.

If I needed a portable camera, this would be it. Something that is a bit less heavy than my new Sony Alpha 900. I bought that since I had the Minolta glass.

I think, it's better to buy an normal DSLR than this.
Because this looks kinda old and blah.
Art Student
it could have been exciting if it has a normal viewfinder, not a regular live view screen. the old look let's my blood boil for excitment but it went cold when i saw the backside...oh well, i'll just stick to my old dslr and really old slr...

I saw the model on the back cover of a photographer mag yesterday. :)
I was like, "this one or the Lumix GF1?"
I'll go for the cheapest one instead ^^; Of course, I got a Olympus SLR already... I pay off my loans before thinking of getting a new camera :O
This means... even folks from Olympus read your burogu Danny. ^^ Hehe~ Really nice camera when I see stuff on your "Olympus Pen" post about this one - http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/22611/Olympus+Pen.html, but I personally prefer the Lumix GF1 from Panasonic. Wonder if Panasonic is gonna give you the Lumix GF1 indeed, when they see this post? >< Now you have a Ton of "free" camera with you... you are soo lucky Danny... ^^; Loking forword to review of this one, and can't wait to some news about "free" Lumix GF1. Hehe~ \ ^^ /

Danny (and everyone), The mount on the E-P1/G1/GH1/GF-1 is the best thing about the system. Both cameras can use the same mount, and the mount itself can be adapted to just about ANY lens out there.

What i really want from the GF-1 is the new 20/1.7 lens.
Also Danny, there is supposed to be an update for the E-P1 firmware on the 15th. Just to let you know
Student, Uncle & hopfully a good husband..
Wow...more cameras to add to the collection...
