Here are a couple of photos that I took while walking near the Ocean.
I bought a Panasonic GF1 last week with a 20mm F1.7 prime lens (40mm equiv), and these are some of the first photos with it. Its a brilliant little thing and takes wonderful shots. It is the perfect companion for walks.

A lot of people are going the route of GF1. Nice and small system, good quality images. I am just not yet ready to give up optical viewfinder (or my investment in Nikon lenses). This is a nice photo. Are those chromatic aberations I see along the upper edge of the foreground large rock and around the nose-like cliff outcrop. I can not tell at this size
Please see my photos at http://mullerpavel.smugmug.com (fewer, better image quality, not updated lately)
or at http://www.flickr.com/photos/pavel_photophile2008/ (all photos)

I hear what you are saying about your investment in lenses - I have a lot of them myself. I suspect the GF1 does better photos however than the my DSLR that I left at home...

I like a lot to see the rocky foreground against the skyline with all those buildings of the City. Very nice composition Toad.
Is the second one one picture or a panorama ?
I like the color in both... it looks cold...
Congratulations on your new toy!!
I can see that there will be more pictures coming from you. That makes me happy...

My, that's one lens there. A re-badged Leica mate, and twice as nice at half the price: that's a real "retro" focal length I guess, in equivalent terms. If I had any spare dosh at all I'd be sorely tempted. Nice dynamic range even with the websize, Rob: I'd really value as many in depth observations as you've time for on this babby, if that's at all possible without spending an undue amount of time..? A fascinating little thing..and really interesting to see these tasty primes in this format as this niche seems to be getting a new lease of life. They'll be doing digital Voigtlanders next...:|...
....mind you, Nikon have that very thing covered pretty well I guess. Mighty interesting.

Zig - thanks for the comment. The dynamic range impressed me as well. Not a speck of HDR on these, and not that much processing either - just a really nice exposure.
...and to be totally honest, these tiny web images don't do the original photos justice at all. I have had this camera about 5 days and have taken a couple of hundred shots already. It just comes to hand so easily when you are out and about.
