As I understand it that price point is the MSRP for the camera, lens and detachable high quality EVF. Taking all components into consideration, that's not too bad. I'm actually eyeing this one in a body and EVF set, to add the phenomenal Panasonic pancake 20 1.7 as a lens option. The one thing that remains to be seen, is if the AF speed is improved upon. Currently, with the Olympus E-P1 and the Panasonic GF1 it seems to be a trade off between the AF speed (and other minor extras) of the GF1 against the processing engine and in body stabilization of the E-P1.

Thanks for the links Marlof, they were great reads. I find myself still really wanting the GF1, despite the lack of image stabilization. There's just something very alluring about the size of the camera, though I fear the first time I wish I had the ability to zoom I'll curse the camera. The GF1 only makes sense to me from a size perspective with the 20mm pancake lens on it. As soon as I see it with a bigger lens, I think "Might as well bring the DSLR."

I have the GH1. It goes when I don't feel like bringing the D300. It's really quite a bit smaller regardless.

I am having canon S5IS. I like the SLRs camera very much but not currently have any one. feature wise this camera looks very good to me. But its just far away from my range.
