i think i was the original panasonic fanboy.
been harping on their digicams since the fx01
edit: i'm taking issue with something in their first paragraph:
(the distance to the sensor means retrofocus designs are needed to overcome the distance from the sensor to the flange)
retrofocal designs are still needed with digital because the fall off with degrees from perpendicular is high compared to film. (not as high as olympus seemed to think when they first brought out 4/3 and 'telecentricity,' tho)
