Still not a fan boy.
2

I have still been looking at both Panasonic vs Olympus.  Took a look at latest blog Thom Hogan has online, and he came up with the same small body camera that I had already zeroed onto that he is thinking of keeping.  I dropped him a note what I was looking at and he warned me about the menu.  I went to a local camera store and took a look at the Olympus body and it was a perfect fit.  The salesman said that he had owned the camera but ended up selling it as the menu was just to hard to understand, or keeping the camera set once you had the camera set up.

The GF-1 was such a great idea, wonder why Panasonic thinks everyone wants a m 4/3 more the size of a DSLR.  G3, was big, and the G5 was bigger.  The GX7 is perfect but the GX8 is bigger.  I lean towards the the Olympus brand, and will just dig into learning the menu when I need to upgrade.  Olympus has the Mark m10 ll which is much to my liking.
