Lumix GF1 by Panasonic

I've been waiting 10 years for someone to make a camera like this. It reminds me of my old Konica Hexar with the f2 35 mm lens and the 'silent' mode available in the early models.
The Lumix is a point and shoot with interchangeable lenses. The 20 mm which is equivalent to about a 40 mm in 35 mm terms, is f 1.7. Sitting on top is the optional electronic viewfinder which I have to admit I find awkward but I'm sure I'll warm up to it. The lcd on the back is large and bright, controls have been very well thought through and the camera generally handles very intuitively.
