solid camera
I am impressed with this camera, especially how easy it is to use. I use this as an alternative to my DSLR (and comparable if not better than my Canon T2i). I purchased this with the 20mm 1.7 - didn't bother getting the kit lens. Focuses well (I prefer using one-area focus instead of 23-area because it is much more accurate and specifically focuses on what you want focused). Great price on this camera. LCD resolution isn't the greatest compared to many cameras and smart phone.

An Awesome Experience with GX1
GX1 is truly remarkable. It focuses so quick and sharp. Its hybrid feature, manual and touch screen, is very helpful in controlling its functions. The body built is so compact and light for its kind. There are more nice things to say about this awesome machine. Try one and you'll surely enjoy it. I recommend to get familiar with its functions so as to get the best quality photo you truly desire.
I love this mirrorless camera.
If you are thinking of a travel lens, I would recommend Panasonic 14-45mm instead of the 14-42mm.
I highly recommend this product to photo enthusiasts!

Excellent camera!
Excellent all purpose camera in small compact form factor without the DSLR bulk. Fast focusing and nice image quality. High build quality--does not feel cheap. Quite a bargain at current end-of-cycle pricing.

Great Camera!
Great and fast service from Adorama. Small camera produces photos with quality near entry-level DSLRs.

Long video but with limited control
I got this camera primarily as a video camera - Panasonic seems to be the only manufacturer that doesn't universally limit video clips to 30min. For that, the camera seems to work fairly well - it can take 2h continuous video on a single battery, and the interface is pretty simple.
Sadly, the simple interface comes at the loss of control - you have no direct control over frame rate that I've found. Might end up having to rely on hacked firmware.

lovely, versatile, well thought out
Lens adaptability is a marvel, mounted my Summicron 50 f2 c. 1970's what a combo, great auto exposure metering on Aperture priority as well as manual. Also using a Nikon Varifocal viewfinder c 1960's can live without EVF so far. Also tried a Nikon AIS 50mm f1.8 works great as well.

noisy 20mm 1.7 lens
my panasonic 20mm 1.7 lens works great on my gf1 camera but when using my new gx1 there is focusing noise
tech support at panasonic told me to live with it
that it is normal.it is annoying and should not be happening.also battery went dead after 2 weeks and i never used it for video.new replacement battery cost $62.00.off brand batteries do not show up on screen.original battery will not take charge after 2 weeks .64 photos only.

Great SLR replacement
Sold my Canon T2i setup (body, 18-55, 55-250, 50 prime, and flash) to go to this body plus the Panasonic 14-140. Micro 4/3 sensors are a bit smaller than APS-C so the noise levels aren't going to be quite as good, but honestly I'd say it's at most a 1-stop difference between the T2i and GX1. Buttons galore and a decent amount of customization makes the body a breeze to use. Highly recommended!
