G1 impressions

[JHAG]

After testing the G1 with 14-45 lens and adapter for R lenses, I'm rather underwhelmed.

I did not send enough time with it, but it has two major drawbacks :

Ergonomy

- it's too small and too light in hands, making composition somewhat clumsy (I have large hands and need weight to balance with)

- I miss some controls and menu is a bit annoying (for me)

 

PP

- files seems to need a lot of postprocessing to get some usable results ; RAW right out of sensor are somewhat flat and dull, if sharp enough

- I know some here dit get really nice results with a GH1, but I get much better files out of the box with my D2. So what's the point ?

 

I returned it.

 

Still, the GF1 is tempting, as a pocketable camera.

And what else, for R lenses ?
