Rebel Without Applause
I have an M8, a Digilux 3 (4/3rds system camera) and just received an E-P2 with the EVF. I'm, in a word, amazed.
I mounted the 25mm D Summilux on the E-P2 and it accurately focused 9 out of 10 times in very dim light - what I use the M8 for.
Its high ISO performance is on par if not better than the Digilux 3 and the fact that I can use my Leica R and M mount glass is fantastic.
And don't get me started on video. It's glorious and amazing. No hyperbole.
I'm just really impressed, so I can completely agree with the OP and others here. This new format kicks all sorts of a**.

Desperate but not serious
I picked up a GF1 this week off of Craiglsist at too good a price.
It's actually smaller then my Minolta CLE which kind of blew me away. I'm waiting on an M adapter and C-mount adapter as I already have these lenses for other cameras.
I'm chomping at the bits to try this camera out and am afraid I'll stop using the CLE I hate to say. I don't expect it have over all better image quality over my DSLR (Canon 50d), and since all of the lenses I have are tad bit old, I expect some color bleeding too towards the edges. But as long as it's better then any of P&S I know I'll be happy with it.
