Description

photo found on the net, (a regular nature photo) this is to test the quality of the image of the panasonic GF1 (important note : this is from jpg and not RAW file)

I also heard of the Pen E-P2, I got to test this one also.. any one got a tip on the best 4:3 camera here ? (for video/hard quality files with good saturation and not too huge stuff)

quite good anyway !

I've tested GF1 and Olympus EP-1 and it's hard to pick one over the other, really.

If you want JPGs straight out of the camera, I'd say EP-1 wins by far! Even compared to most DSLRs, especially when it comes to color rendition and overall feeling. I find ISO slightly better on EP-1 also compared to GF1, plus EP-1 looks better imho. EP-1 also has in body image stabilization.

On the other hand, GF1 has better Auto Focus (noticeably faster), on board Flash and, at least on the paper, better processor (CMOS).

If you're shooting RAW and don't mind PP your photos, I'd say take GF1 for it has a better AF. If not, take EP-1.

In both cases, I'd buy Panasonic 20mm/f1.7 Pancake lens.

For most people, Olympus EP-1 + Panasonic 20mm/f1.7 lens is a winning combo if you ask me.

Micro Four Thirds (m4/3) system is still very much new and in the upcoming years I'm expecting a lot of improvements. I am thinking of buying one of those cameras myself, with a couple of m4/3 lenses.
