As we discussed at last week's meeting of the OKCLUG, I've got that same camera and lens but I am also presently testing an Olympus OM-D E-M1 "on approval" from B&H. I'm not sure the Oly is enough of an improvement over the GF-1 to make me want to put up with its galaxy of menus and controls but I'm still on the fence. To me these micro 4/3 cameras are good backups to my M9 at 1/3 the price of another M9 body (used) but I'm honestly still undecided if they will really make me happy in the long term. I think I just can't get used to the disposable nature of these digital cameras. --Bob
