Pros: I've compared the camera and two lenses with my Nikon D200 and D90 and comparable lenses. The GF-1 matches the D200 for both sharpness and resolution; the 20mm lens at f:4 equals the D90 and any lens I've tested with it, for centre resolution.

Summary: This is a superb camera, even for a dedicated... read more

Pros: W/O being able to see through the lense how do you take pictures in bright sunlight?

Summary: I don't like it! read more
