Sign me up for one of those pancake lenses. Too bad it's not f/1.8 or lower.

I wouldn't buy from that particular site, though.
Neither would I. Not because I don't want to, but rather, because it's not a merchant site. It's a review site. They don't sell stuff at that site. This is your first post in this thread, and you've already proven you don't have a clue what you're talking about. The rest of the thread seems to reinforce that.

EDIT: Ye gods, what a snotty tone. I don't expect that sort of treatment from a moderator. I saw the "Store" tab, assumed it meant that there was a "store" on the site, checked resellerratings and posted a warning-- all in the space of about ten seconds. Your conclusion that I don't have a clue is absurd.
too small for me. I need a nice beefy hand grip.
Edit:
HAHAHA They actually have a graph with an axis labled "Seriousness" hehe.

You can buy stuff from this site? I thought it was a review site like dpreview. Anyway, I'm sure most of us get our photo gear from reputable places like B&H, but thanks, punchkin.

I think the street price is going to be $699 for the body + pancake, so expect a few dollars less from an online retailer.
oh shit, i want one.
actually, I take that back, I thought it was thinner than it is, heh. If it were $499 w/ the pancake... then I'd be more likely to jump at it again or if the pancake pricing were for an f/1.4/1.8. Yes, I'm dreaming.

Even an f/2 would be nice, but maybe that would just make it longer. I'd make do with the 50mm (equiv.) f/2.8 though, in this size. Talk about inconspicuous.

The smallest setup I've used to date is my friend's Nikon D40 (about $350 used) paired with a Nikon Series-E 50mm f/1.8 pancake lens (about $30 used).
Looks like this; another picture.
The E-420 is a little smaller, but you also have to shell out major coinage for 4/3 lenses. I can buy inexpensive Nikon glass any day of the year.

No, I'm saying that the lack of sensor stabilization on the camera is a negative. The lens isn't all that fast on that particular format-- a 50mm f/5.6 equivalent is not exactly a dream from a speed standpoint.

Things to do daily by punchkin:
1-Post something that is short, stupid and with no explanation.
2-Wait for replies.
3-Lash out saying something even dumber.
Too bad I missed out today... and all the other days of my life. Are you Fardringle's second account, or just stupidly arrogant in your own right? Off topic much?
Incorrect. It will capture much less, because there is less surface area.
I dug all the way to the forum guidelines, which say this:
1) No trolling, flaming or personally attacking members.
Guess you missed that. No problem.

Uhhhh It will have the same exposure at 2.8 as any other camera regardless of sensor or film size.
F2.8 is F2.8 no matter the size of the recording element.
... except that it is the equivalent of f/5.6 on full frame. The 4/3 sensor has only a quarter the surface area, so collects a quarter the light (two stops less).
