I've got smallish hands and I travel to outback places a lot, so the 420 appeals to me for that reason (size/weight/quality). I was also a fan of the Pen F, back in the day . . .
So, I'm just buying this thing now (May 2008), along with the standard (24-48?) lens for starters. I'll play with it a bit, but I'm already thinking about the higher grade 12-60mm (do I have that right?), which sounds really sexy, but costs $800.
I should say: I moved here from a Panasonic DMC-LC1, which I thought was a spectacular camera. And although I was very satisfied with the clarity and speed of the Leica lens, I didn't like the fact that it was not interchangeable, and more importantly that it wouldn't go wide enough for interior architecture shots (or big exterior panoramas). Hence, I'm hoping the 12-60mm Olympus lens (which has good reviews against it's Leica counterpart) will do the job for me.
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.
