Olympus E-P2 vs Panasonic GF1
ePhotozine compared the Olympus E-P2 and the Panasonic GF1. They again forgot to mention the Olympus E-P2 in Body IS advantage (they forgot it also when they made the E-P1 vs GF1 comparison).
Their conclusions? In short: the Olympus E-P2

In that case, the EVF resolution comparison heavily favors Olympus, allowing composition and focusing, not the just the former.

That said I never use my GF1 anymore; the shots I got out of it weren’t great due to camera shake. The E-P1 gives me over 95% sharp shots (by actually count) whereas the GF1 only gave me 74% sharp shots. The IS is a HUGE advantage.
