Pardon me if this was discussed during my hiatus from the LUG (and I 
did search the archives without success) -- but what are thoughts 
concerning the E420 for carry and street photography?  With the pancake 
lense it seems very compact -- not M compact -- but better then any 
DSLR i've seen.  What is the picture quality at high ASAs?  Equivalent 
to its consumer Canon/Nikons?  I presume it will accept m42 and other 
manual focus mounts like other 4/3 cameras?  Any other thoughts?  Is it 
a poor man's substitute for an M8?

Thanks!
