But with the 14-45 lens, it is quite large for an old point and shooter like me, and not even a big pocket camera. The even bigger zoom lenses would make it gigantic from my perspective (although not that of DSLR users I realize) The 20mm pancake lens would help. However, I plan to buy either the GF2 or the possible smaller companion noted in these posts, whichever one has a decent EVF up to G1 quality. Then I can do less obtrusive and more handy photography on the street etc, and use the pancake lens on the G! as well.. The problem is that we don't know - maybe Admin does - whether the 20mm will be the kit lens on the new camera(s). Will have to do without it until the new cameras are announced unless we learn what their kit lenses will be. Milt I just bought a G1, which I am enjoying.
