hi guys,
just did a quick comparison (video) side by side in case you are wondering which camera is for you and how different they really are in size. direct link

no problem. I have been waiting for a camera like this god knows how long. 2:3 is just such a good format, I am thinking about doing the same (optical viewfinder)

Mike,
Thanks for the video review. Very well done. I plan on getting a GF-1 with the 20/1.7 sometime in the future. Your review has helped a lot.

OK, 25 seconds into the video and I can tell you that I like the smaller one.

Thanks for posting (the video, and the link from here). It really helped me get an idea of the relative sizes. I've seen comparisons before, but this was the most helpful for me.

Thanks for posting the video!

Unfortunately I'm still up in the air about which one to get. I like the features on both.

I already have a pocket sized Lumix - my Tz5 that I love for it's almost too sharp images and low light capabilities so I really don't know which one to get between the GF-1 and the GH-1.

In the morning I lean towards the GF-1 and at night I lean towards the GH-1.

Maybe I should try to make a decision around lunchtime.

If you do that, it sounds like you will certainly end up with both!
