Good value for money
Bought this lens because I bought locally a second hand E-P1 body. The lens is in good condition and compares to the 'normal' four thirds lenses in his category (I have a 14-45mm lens witch I use with my E-1, and the quality is comparable. The only thing that doesn't work as good is close up photography. I can't get close up shots most of the time since the lens (or the camera, I haven't figured out yet witch one is the guilty part) won't focus. But quality overall is good to very good for a lens in this price category (entry level).
One thing I also had to get used to is that the lens can collapse when not in use. This is a feature that doesn't exist with four thirds lenses, but is very handy when the camera is not in use. It keeps it just small enough to fit the (rather big) pocket of my jacket.
Overall it's a good lens for every day use. I only gave it a four out of five because of the focusing problems when trying to take a picture from closest range.

Not the absolute top on system cameras but great for every day use
Compared to my Olympus E-P1 there are a few differences. First of all the electronic viewfinder, a real asset when you're taking pictures towards the sun. Where the Olympus E-P1 is hardly useable, the electronic viewfinder works very well.
The G1 expects the lens to do the stabilazing where the E-P1 has in-camera stabilisation, I have no stabilisation with Olympus lenses, at wide angle no problem, but tele is another thing. I have a Olympus 14-150 and taking pictures at 150mm requires you set the shutter speed at a minimum of 1/400 to have a non shaken picture.
Taking pictures at higher ISO is also not really a problem, as long as you stay away of ISO ratings higher then 800, but that goes for a lot of cameras.
Also I haven't found any means to adjust contrast and sharpness so far, pictures could be a little more sharp, but that's a personal opinion and in general pictures are of high quality.
The body itself is ligthweight so it's no problem to carry it around your neck for several hours. The grip is firm and buttons are easy to reach. Live view is also very fluid and accurate, through the viewfinder and the backscreen.
The backscreen can be tilted, witch comes in handy when you're taking pictures where you can't use the viewfinder (for example a small flower, close to the ground).
To conclude, maybe not the youngest body around with the latest features, but still a good camera for somebody who knows his way around with apareture, shutterspeed and ISO. Preferably more useable with generic Panasonic lenses since it has no in-camera stablisation, but for general photography it is usable with non tele Olympus lenses (for example Olympus 14-42mm). Pictures are good with realistic colours and saturation altough they could be a little bit more sharp (compared to Olympus). But this is the sort of camera you can take with you when going on holidays, not to big, light weighted and with a wide choise of lenses you can attach to it.
