I think that the Olympus micro four thirds will be very interesting when it hits the market too. I do have some issues personally with the G1 as sold here but then its all academic for me of course. I'm pretty fond of the M8 finder and manual focussing. 2009/5/24 Frank Dernie <Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com> > Hi Geoff, > I bought a G1 on whim in the duty free shop.
