So i may have been one of those rare people who change settings often when shooting.....

:sweatsm: I am not going to let you feel special... me too... :sweat:

That would be really interesting.. but i'm not in position to test as I don't have both cameras..
If we could get both camera to use the same lens, shoot at same target in the same low light environment with same aperture.

1) Test 1: Both camera select same shutter speed.
Compare brightness of picture, the one with higher exposure has higher sensitivity.

2) Test 2: Let camera choose it's own shutter speed.
If one camera chooses a higher shutter speed - that camera has higher sensitivity. But the difficult part is making sure brightness of both picture is exactly the same. And this part is really subjective and debatable.

I have no intention of supporting any brand... just that I don't know the answer to this.
In fact I'm currently looking at DSLR to replace the GF1.

I hope you can find a replacement soon. Or at least, in two weeks when Photokina starts. I won't be surprise if Canon or Nikon pulls something surprising out of their bag of tricks. As it is (for now), the Canon 7D is quite impressive. But their engine is something far from desirable. Only their monster 1D is producing quality stuff.

I think it would be good to post as many GF1 pictures in different lighting conditions and shot at different time of day for reference.

You're not the only one. I've never used any program mode on any camera I've owned. Ever.

95% of the time my E-P1 & E-P2 are in aperture-priority mode. The only time that changes is if I'm shooting in a studio and then it goes into M mode.
