It is just you, you have the requirement for a pocket camera. The G11 can
put into your pocket but I will never put any camera of that size in my
pocket, a 100g phone camera is ok. I always carry a small shoulder bag,
ok the bag can even accomodate a 5D II with 24/2 mounted but the
combination make the bag deformed too much. The E-PL1 is much
better fit even with one or two extra Pen FT lenses.
The Olympus Pen and Pana GF-1 sell very well here, I think the only problem
is the price. E-PL1 is a right move, it certainly eat into the market of the
high end compact camera like G11. People are looking for stylish stuffs...

They are both nice and I can understand why Canon made both. I wouldn't
mind having both.

Is that based on demonstrable fact, or rumor an conjecture. I'm not
arguing or claiming you are wrong. I'm simply curious, as I wouldn't
know how to ascertain that.
I'm sort of mystified at how one can see the µ4/3 cameras and the G
series as the same sort of thing......
