I've said this before---put a lens on a 400D or any of the small DSLRs and put a lens on the G1--very large difference.
No, I disagree. In fact there is only one pancake available for the G1 so far. It is not much smaller than the E-420 with the 25mm f/2.8 mounted. Put any other lens on the G1 and it is not much smaller than any other small DSLR with a smaller lens mounted.
And again, there's the sticking point: it is not pocketable, hence there is not a real functional advantage offered by the somewhat smaller size of the body or the lenses. You are trading some performance for a small, cute package that still does not fit in a pocket.
The G1 is not a bad camera even in the slightest. It just doesn't fulfill the promise of m43, and fails to offer a large value proposition based on its somewhat (not greatly) smaller size.
