From AG on 10/19
"Ok so where does that leave me? I've been quite impressed with what
I've seen so far with the Panasonics, but instead of getting the
latest/greatest, I'm actually seriously looking at the L1 with the
25/1.4 lens. This combination offers tremendous benefits in the handling
department and the image-quality is quite good. In fact, bloody good
considering the measly 7.5MP."
