But... it has inferior manual controls to the GF1 and a touch screen. It's aimed very squarely at consumers, rather than 'prosumers' (I hate that word but it does sum the market up). Size difference is marginal too and the pancake's only f/2.5, not f/1.7. If you're stepping up from a point and shoot and don't really know what you're doing it might make sense, but otherwise I can't see why anyone would go for it over the GF1.
