I currently own a Lumix DMC-LX3. Although I’m happy with its performance, I was wondering just how much difference there is between the two lens’s

Can anyone explain why the GF1 gets better scores for images than the G2 which has the same lenses and sensor? Thanks

Hi I love my GF1 so much that I have given all my Nikon SLR equipment away - except for my 70mm to 200mm 2.8 Nikon lense which I use with an adpator on my GF! Yes perhaps my new set up is not really up to the standard of my SLR and lenses but for me I am taking it everwhere I go and am getting some really nice shots which are not too far off the meark re quality and in truth I wouldn't have got them anyway because likley I would not have taken the SLR with me - I am sticking to the 4/3 format and am looking forward to what Panasonic will give me in the way of the next upgrade to the GF1 - a built in viewfiender would be nice but not a show stopper for me Thanks

Hi have just taken a look at the new GF2 - very nice but for me very disapointing as it does not give any improvments over my GF1 - will need to wait a bit longer for Panasonic to come up with a true replacment for the GF1 - however no problem for me as I am still having a great time with my GF1 - Thanks
