Default EVIL cameras...

I'm curious as to who on here is using an EVIL camera (like the Panasonic G series or the Sony NEX). Much of what you read suggests that this is one of the fastest growing sector of the market and that it is eating into both the high end copmact and the entry level DSLR markets.

I have had a play with a few of the systems and have been impressed with what they can produce. I have ended up with a Panasonic and a couple of lenses that I love as a lightweight option. I use a GF1 with the 20mm f1.7 pancake lens which is very small but delivers great results. The AF is not as fast as on a DSLR and the lack of viewfinder takes a bit of getting used to, but overally I think it is a very good system. Given the current pricing on these cameras is not much more than a good compact they really are a good option if you don't mind a slightly larger camera (with the pancake the GF1 easily fits in my coat pocket).

So who else has been tempted by an EVIL camera?
