The manuals strongly advise against leaving both stabilisations on together, it does not work. I preferred body stabilisation off, lens on in this combination. The EP1 I tried had pitifully slow AF compared to the Panasonic G1, so I bet the GF1 will be better than the EP2. I actually think IS is over-rated. It does not compensate for rotary shake very well, if at all, so in general I think it is a snapshot or get you out the sh*t solution. The E3 was very poor with long lenses and IS on, -very- few keepers. The E3 and normal lenses are not really much smaller than 35mm stuff, the teles are much smaller so I thought it would be a great camera for nature pix when walking my dogs but I got very few sharp shots, either AF or IS not working well :-( Better with MF and no IS. Not worth carrying at all. cheers, Frank On 12 Jan, 2010, at 17:24, Roger Rubin wrote: > Hi all: > Has anyone compared the GF-1 with the EP-2?? The latter has the > stabilization in the body.
