Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neil" data-source="post: 1423517" data-attributes="member: 1568">The speed is similar between the E420 and the G1.  No noise up to iso 400 and only a little at iso800 so shutter speeds are similarly fast. The implementation of LiveView is better in the G1.  The main difference is the Electronic Viewfinder.  This enables Auto Focus using the viewfinder or the LCD screen.  The AF is very fast too, much faster than the E420 (LiveView AF only on the LCD).  It's very similar to the speed on my Nikon D90 with the 500/4 ( 730 mm in Crop Mode).  I'm shooting the G1 at wide a lot which is equivalent to 840 mm.Now the GH1 is out with HD video and with a longer kit lens.Neil.</blockquote>
