i sold my nikon d70, lenses, bags, etc. and picked up the panasonic gf1 micro 4/3 camera.  it comes with the uber-cool 20mm f/1.7  lens and i got a good deal on the 14-140mm f/4.0-5.8 zoom.  i took it around woods hole today to test it...it's weird having an interchangeable lens camera without a viewfinder.  there's an electronic viewfinder available, but it's expensive and the resolution isn't that great.  i'll wait for the 2.0 rev.  the 14-140 lens is heavy and it's a bit difficult to hold the camera steady with the big lens on.  but i guess that's the tradeoff for having a much smaller camera.

the lcd screen is very bright and crisp...coming from the 1.8" screen on the d70, it's a revelation.  the screen on our fuji f31fd is pretty nice, but not nearly as nice as this.  it's double the resolution of the ep1/2, though only half the resolution of some of the top dSLRs.

i haven't yet looked at all the photos on my computer...maybe this weekend.  for now, i'm loving the size, screen, and newness of it...it will keep my attention once i start loving the images.
