@Tohe I doubt they'll adopt the in-body... Panasonic has always done the in-lens stabilization.
I played with the g2, and I agree that the touchscreen is gimicky. Yes, you can focus by touching (panasonic has done this in the past on their smaller cameras too), but I saw it as distraction. There are much better/faster ways of getting the camera to focus where you want, than to smudge your finger around the screen...
I fully support articulated live view... ALL CAMERAS should have them, it is ABSOLUTELY a necessity for awkward position shots (over the head, from the ground, etc.)
I have the 20mm lens, the lens is so fast it almost doesn't need image stabilization. Usually I notice the lack of IS right away, but with f/1.7 it really is not a necessity.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
