If they continue to shrink their stuff, it'll cease to exist in the macro cosmos.
I like it though.

Wow, this thing is smaller than a Pentax Q ...

I like it too, neat and handsome little camera. A shame that lens most probably will again be an under corrected design...

For sure, yes. The MTFs look decent though - impressive actually.

There is yet a LEICA DG SUMMILUX 15mm / F1.7 ASPH: http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/pressrelease/leica_dg_summilux_15/

It looks pretty nice though I don't understand the focal length.

The aperture ring strikes back - I like it! B) They probably went for 15mm because there already are two 17mm primes for mft and the 20/1.7 is pretty close, too.

What is to understand ? At 30mm equiv. and given each manufacturer has its own interpretation of focal length, let's just say it's a 28mm like lens. Nothing striking, IMHO.

Hmm... thanks to the body comparison link elsewhere in this forum, it is making me re-evaluate my shooting needs/desires. My "carry everywhere" camera is still the Sony HX9V, and attempts to find a replacement haven't got anywhere before (either too big or doesn't offer enough advantage/has new disadvantages). The GM1 (without lens) is smaller than the HX9V on every side! So now I have to wonder if the lenses are small enough for me to reconsider this... I don't care how big a lens is in use position but I'd like to see longer focal lengths offered (200mm+ actual) which can be collapsed into a pancake...
