I am also debating the purchase of the Lumix G1.
Issues I have with the M8:
1 Cost
2 It's electronic and I am concerned about reliability. Also concerned
about how well it holds up in the presence of high humidity and moisture.
3 Cost
One problem with the Lumix is which M and R lenses work well on it.
Is there a site that names which Leica M & R lenses are compatible with
the G1 and if they work well with it.
