I own the older version of this camera (GF1) and was looking for something smaller to capitalize on the compactness of the micro 4/3 system. The GF3 is significantly smaller than the GF1, small enough that I could carry it in my jeans pocket with only a slight bulge (the old camera wouldn't fit at all!).The camera is a 'downgrade' functionality wise because it loses the mode dial, hotshoe and real jog dial of its ancestor but nevertheless functions just as well in terms of operation and speed.
Problem is I had a 20mm f1.7 pancake lens with my GF1 and focusing was very erratic on the GF3. Electric contacts were clean on both the camera and lens but focusing is a 'hit or miss' beyond acceptable levels. Focusing was always sharp and accurate with the same lens on the old camera
