i read many reviews mostly saying that E-P1 produce more detail photos compare with GF1. this is one of the review from dpreview: The E-P1 is not only capturing fractionally more detail, but its output is cleaner (without the GF1's moiré and artefacts) and is less 'digital' looking, certainly when viewed this close.

the only downside is no flash!.some may feel tat external flash is better but when u wan portable and fast shoot at dark, built in flash is important too..another one is slow focus..

Low resolution screen that's hard to see in bright light at least still can take it.. why new e-p2 still not improve on it..but improve a lot on price sad.gif
but if the price is within rm3500 or less, i will still consider E-P2..

Here are some other comparisons:

* The E-P1 produces better JPEGs with brighter (yet more realistic) colors, punchier contrast and cleaner pixel-level detail.
* Although the E-P1 has marginally more highlight dynamic range (at ISO 200) than the GF1, its metering tends to skate dangerously close to over exposure, so - without manual intervention - you get more blown highlights with the Olympus. The GF1's metering is definitely more reliable.
* The GF1's focus is faster and a touch more reliable than the E-P1 (which occasionally gets it completely wrong).
* Despite being nominally longer (45mm vs 42mm), at short focus distances the Panasonic kit zoom is visibly wider at the tele end than the Olympus.
* Likewise, at the wide end the Olympus is slightly wider (we suspect this is down to Panasonic's stronger distortion correction, at least in part).
* In our lens tests both Panasonic kit lenses is measurably better than the Olympus equivalents, and the in-camera removal of CA is a bonus. How much of this you seen in most shots is debatable.
* Although covered elsewhere it's worth repeating here that the E-P1 does slightly better at very high ISO settings (1600+) than the GF1.

Just wondering, how's the stock of GF1 across KL/PJ right now?

Currently in US, but coming back next week.
