Just traded E-P1 for GF1

I bought the E-P1 and traded it in for a GF1, this is the first time I've played around with an interchangeable camera and you can view my review here.

Just out of curiosity what made you change?

You mean what made me trade it in the first place? I just wanted to give both a try before I settle with one of them, I wanted to see if I will like the panasonic better since the speed was kind of slow on oly.

I just settled on a DP2. Once I saw the images that came out of it I couldn't imagine switching!

The Sigma sensor looks great, I thought about a SD14 when they were dirt cheap but I am already shooting with 3 different sensor types and buying lenses for another system is just a little too over the top.

Panasonic really have cracked the problem of AF speed with their m4/3 offerings (I still marvel at how well my G1 does continuous AF and subject tracking). The E-P1 is very slow in comparison.

I got to play with my friends GF1 last night. I was very very impressed. The shutter lag was almost nonexistent..really felt like DSLR like in that respect. The LCD was one of the best I had ever seen. I was comparing it side by side with my LX3. It really is at another level..not just P&S with detachable lens.
