2. Well, douchebag is a bit harsh…..
   But I’ll be buggered if I’ll read his blog/reviews again! It’s more about him than the camera. Each to their own!

3. I love you site — please keep up with the good work!

   I found a comparative review — E-PL1 v. GF 1 — I think you haven’t mentioned. It’s here:

4. Wow, that Phoblographer really did not like the E-PL1… I would warn about reviews from people who’ve used the camera for an afternoon; that’s nowhere near enough time to make an informed decision in.

   When I first received the E-PL1 I wasn’t impressed by it, and my first impression was not good. After more than 3 weeks of shooting with it almost every day, it’s grown on me and I can appreciate it for what it is: A very good camera that’s not aimed at the advanced photographer, but which and advanced photographer can make very good use of. In fact, this camera may be a better choice than the E-P1 or E-P2 for those who plan on using 3rd party lenses exclusively.

   Anyway, thanks for posting a link to Part 1 of my ongoing review. This morning I posted Part 2, if anyone wants to read more of what I have to say about it:

   I’ll be posting Part 3 in a week or so.

   Cheers,

5. Agree with Valk, his photos look like crap, especially the series with D3S and 24-70 lens. WTF is wrong with this loser? He’s having $10,000 worth of equipments and cannot even the picture in focus? Not to mention the sh!tty WB and loose composition (c’mon random ppl in front of the subject?). Why would the wonderful team of 43rumor ever mention this jackass?
