I use it with the grip and the 12-40mm most of the time - while not as small as it can be (I tried a whole month with the 17mm - it was fun, too), this is an extremely capable combo that handles very nicely. It actually competes with the LX100 for a permanent(!) space in my day bag. The LX100 has a lot going for it (it's a very compelling package, and well worth having, period), but the E-M10 has superior image quality, is far faster in almost every respect, and its controls just fall under my fingers.I actually got a GF1 out of interest and a funny bout of nostalgia, and while this still is quite a capable camera, neither IQ nor feature set nor speed are anywhere near a modern body. But it's nicer to handle than my nifty E-PM1, it's got a bigger screen and better controls (by far). It also handles one of my favourite lenses, the Panasonic 20mm, clearly better than the E-PM1, with better AF speed and accuracy. In fact, the GF1 and that lens are a near perfect match, so I'm looking for a new default prime on my E-PM1 ... The RAW files out of the GF1 are as good as the ones out of the E-PM1, if not a bit better in low light. The JPEGs, on the other hand, are quite murky ... so it's not a camera for running and gunning in order to extract a couple of shots for (online) publication. The E-PM1 does deliver on that front - and of course, so does the much more competent E-M10.M.</blockquote>
