I voted for the Sony A850. Its currently the worlds cheapest full-frame camera. I hope to own one someday.

hmmm... let's see if actually get my hands on an M9 before years end. Then I can make a proper judgement.

But right now I'm leaning towards the EP1 because even though it has it's flaws, it was a ground breaking camera.

Thanks, I voted for the EP-1. It was about time someone came out with a small camera with a larger sensor that was usable. I know I've had a blast with mine.

Micro 4/3 in general is ground breaking. Unfortunately they can't make the sensor bigger can they? Maybe someday we'll have a similar slim and trim, EVF focusing, small lens using, 24x36 sensor camera.

You're not giving Stovall enough credit here. He is actually an avid Olympus fan who is just pretending to be a Leica snob. And judging by the responses so far, his ruse is working!

I do love the look of Oly Zuiko lenses on Canon 5's.

I voted for the M9, but might have voted for the GF-1 if they had not left it off of the list (didn't at all agree with their reasoning for not including it).
