Just did a search and it looks like it's been a while since the subject of micro four thirds has come up here. For the most part it would seem that DSLRs are still very popular at least among the maggots who consider themselves serious photographers. However, there have been quite a few new micro four thirds models in the past few months and Panasonic is set to release a new model (the GH2) that looks pretty intriguing: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/panasonicdmcgh2/ The downside to me is the price. With the cheapo 14-42mm kit zoom the price will be around $1,000. With the much nicer 14-140mm the price is $1,500.
I've been seriously considering the Panasonic G2. I have a discount through work and can get it for $600, but I'm still debating whether I should just go the DSLR route with something like the Canon T2i. Any thoughts? The big question mark for me is whether the portability of the G2 would actually cause me to carry it in situations where I would have left a DSLR at home. The G2 with the 20mm pancake lens makes for a very compact package.
And has anyone else been eyeballing the Fuji X100? Too expensive for what it is for my taste, but it definitely looks great! http://finepix.com/x100/en/
