Not fully compatible with the GF-1 ? That's the deal breaker for me - bye bye Panny, Hello Oly 12mm & 45mm........
Wonderful: this definitely IS a "portable zoom". And adds a lot of attraction to the whole micro 4/3 system.
I just wonder: what is Sony waiting to develop something like this for the NEX cameras ????
Just imagine a powerful camera like the new NEX 7 with a "pocketable" 16-48 pancake zoom !!
That one I would buy straight away, and would finally justify the price-tag attached to the Nex7: a really pocketable, altough very powerful camera system.
