Where is the lens?

Yeah, that's not very fair. Thanks, though. I'd like to see a comparison with the lens attached against the G9 (or G10 or whatever that is) with its lens extended.

I've held one in the hands, and its prob. about the same as a G10 with 14-42 lens extended, albeit a bit wider.

A bit small to see.

Yesterday I saw a guy running around with a G10.

I put the EP-1 next to my Bessa R2A when I saw it in the store... the Bessa was bigger but not by a huge margin!

Yeah, I found the photo on the web. It only works if you know the size of the panasonic Lumix and the G10. They are both cameras I'm very familiar with since I like them and friends have them. Being wider than the G10, the EP-1 is not a pocket camera, but it is a very nice sized camera compared to my DSLR.

If you want pictures of it with lenses compared to DSLR cameras, you can find those easily on the net. Here are some more. I just thought it would be interesting for people to comment on the size of this camera, compact but not a pocket camera. It seems to fill an in between niche that no camera has quite done yet.

I know there are a lot of people here not interested in the least in the EP-1...you don't need to comment then .

@sirius... this whole post is unfair! ;-)

Based on the specs and this photo from Tokyo Cemera Style, it doesn't seem all that much smaller than a M8. I am starting to reconsider my E-P1 order and thinking of getting a 28mm Elmarit ASPH for my M8 instead the current 35mm Summilux ASPH.

Yeah majid, I have that same problem (not)

I am supposed to know which evil digital P&S is which?
