Panasonic Lumix GF2 reviewed: smaller, simpler, and arguably better than the GF1

Panasonic's DMC-GF1 proved itself as a tasty go-between, filling the
gap between high-end compact and DSLR. The GF2 will soon arrive and,
according to Photography Blog, if anything it slots in a little closer
to the compact side of things thanks to a new user interface that
ditches many buttons and dials in favor of touchscreen menus. This
will drive some users mad, but ultimately the up-rated features here
still make this a worthy choice over the GF1, including video
recording at 1080i60 and a new body that's a fifth smaller and seven
percent lighter than before despite still containing a pop-up flash,
12.1 megapixel sensor, and image quality that's about as good as
you're going to get out of a shooter this size.
