I'm hoping I made the correct choice on my camera purchase yesterday. My Canon G9 is making some strange noises, and I don't really want to have to spend 50% the cst of a new G11 to repair it. So I'd been looking at the Canon G11, PEN E-P2, Panny GF1 and GH1. I've never used a DSLR, and considered going with the Tried N True, but I've always been a sucker for new tech.
I went with the E-P2 primarily due to the in-camera IS. I doubt I'll invest heavily in glass, and hoped that it would help make the pics with the Panny 20MM pancake lens I ordered a little sharper. Upgrades over the E-P1 included faster AF (supposedly), in-box EVF, and tilt-shift art filter. Some sample tilt-shift pics finally sold me on it - again, not going to spend huge $$$ on glass here, so that filter will be a fun option (if it doesn't suck - we'll see).
Shipping today, so I hope to be firing away soon. I don't normally drop $1,500 on something I *hope* I'll enjoy, so wish me luck ;-)
And no, I'm not going to ask anyone, "Have you seen my DILC?" I may, however, say, "In my hand, I hold an EVIL device."
