Yup, that's my take on it. The E-PL1 came out after the other two received some
criticism for being too expensive. The 35mm focal length factor is X2. The 20mm
Panasonic has the same field as a 40mm on FF 35. I have a 40mm f1.7 on a
Canonet
QL17 from decades ago and it's a delightful FL. Walked around London with it in
1978.
Get one - image quality is great.

So basically the features ‘missing’ are not all that important if using it as a
2nd camera?
In 35 speak, is the Panasonic a 20 or 40?
I may have to look into this for me :->

E-PL1 is the value leader of the three. Same sensor, same processor, and a
pretty useful flash that can fire the remote flashes and use iTTL in the
process. A little more polycarbonate in the body, but it doesn't feel plasticy.
I enjoy mine a lot, with the adaptor that takes the full-size 4/3 lenses. The
one thing I don't like is that the eye-level EVF is too expensive. One of
Panasonic's lenses is a winner, the Leica-formulated 20mm f1.7 in Micro 4/3.

Friend looking at the Olympus E-PL1 and asked about it. Staples has a
package with backpack, 2nd battery, some software for $550. Went to the
Olympus site and see about it and there are 3 version of the P series.
Differences are not obvious on their site, anyone here know???
