Not even Panasonic's own 4/3 lenses or anyone else's IS lenses. The Olympus' in-body IS makes ANY lens image-stabilized. For that reason alone, I would not get the GF-1, no matter how much better the GF-1 is. The investment is in the glass, not the body!

But the general movement towards large Sensor compacts is fantastic! Personally I can’t wait for the Pansonic GF1, very similar design, with a much clearer UI/menu structure.
