Don't know about the Olympus, but I have the Panasonic GF-1 and think it 
is excellent and makes a decent sized print.  The limitations so far are:

1. It is a lower-ISO camera.  I use it at 100-200, no more than 400.
2. The 20mm 1.7 lens is excellent, but the 14-45 is not up to par.  I 
will probably order the 45mm 2.8 when I can get around to it.
3. The EVF (a necessity for me) is not that clear, but works as 
intended.  You can see the focus points and all the info you need.

Hope this helps.  I see there is now a replacement for the GF-1 (of course).
