I´m exactly in the same boat. For the time being I decided to sit and wait. There is right now a rapid technological transition going on in the MFT world - e.g. Sony appears to provide the sensors by now, the EVFs are getting better and better etc., etc. Unless some degree of maturity is reached I´m pretty reluctant to spend much on a new cam. To give me something else to play with while waiting I just bought at a good price a used GH1 though <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Have you considered a GF3 or GF5? I still don't understand why most people don't consider them serious cameras. I use a GF3 since having switched from a Nikon D90. For my needs, the touch interface is superior to on-body dials and buttons in quite some regards. Changing ISO or the location of the AF spot was never faster.
Sometimes, a viewfinder would be nice to have, but that's about it.
I use it in combination with mainly the 25/1.4 and 45/2.8 lenses and never felt the need to upgrade to one of the more recent or more "advanced" bodies.
