@Strange - I have read with interest the stuff on that site - thanks for reminding me of it.

@ASU - I must admit that I had not considered the option of a Pentax DSLR body. I may look into that one.

The PEN E-PL1 does have a full manual option, as well as the usual aperture or shutter bias that I'm used to from SLR days.

The size is attractive, I'm used to lugging a couple or three lenses around (I have a couple of AF lenses - one long, one wide, and a very old 300mm manual focus Canon lens that I use with an adapter), but the smaller form factor is nice.

To answer your pocket sized question, there is a 16mm pancake lens, but I'd not start with it.
