This is from lower-end of the m4/3rds line-up. $600, in-line with the
Samsung APS, the NEX. If the AF works a little better than the last
cameras, it could be good. The lens is supposed to be optically
better than the dog 14-42mm Panasonic replaced the well-regarded
14-45mm with.

Still no AF assist lamp or orientation sensor.

Friend said he'd stick with the GF1 because of the AF assist.
