At $1300, it needs to be comparable with Canon's 40D and the Nikon D200 (and upcoming D300). I haven't seen what all lense mounts the Lumix has, but if it supports other manufacturer's mounts, it could be interesting, but only for new adopters. Current Canon and Nikon users wouldn't even think of switching when most of us already have several thousand dollars worth of accessories.

it is a 4/3rds mount camera meaning ALL 4/3rds digital lenses from Olympus Leica/Panasonic Sigma and has adapters for all of the manual lenses.
