We've just got my wife a G2. The body is a little bigger than the Pen and the GF-1, but overall it's only about .25" deeper. Still goes in a (large) handbag. Pros - built in EVF (higher resolution than the addon ones), The LCD display rotates and it comes in a fetching shade of blue (thereby meeting one of Karin's key selection criteria). Cons - slightly larger and anti-shake is built into the lens, not the body. Oh, and the world's worst manual. We've got a K-mount adaptor so my old manual lenses have a new lease of life and the FA* 300 4.5 becomes a 600 4.5 on the MFT system. I'll post some pictures one day. Sorry, I mean I'll get Karin to post some pictures one day. She has to continue to believe that it's her camera and not a sneaky new toy for me to use when I feel like it.
