With more sensible pricing, the latest addition to the PEN range is a definite step in the right direction. Performance problems remain, however

Autofocus is still slow
So similarly priced GF1 looks like better value.

Compact
Given I already have a full size DSLR the perfect companion for me would be more like the DMC-LX3. Ok so you cannot change the lens but I'd be more likely to buy new glass for the SLR than the PEN if that was the choice.
I like the concept of the PEN, I just think there are better alternatives.
