The first accessory I would buy (except some additional cards) is a secondary battery, especially if you plan to use the camera during travels.

The main problem I see with in camera lens correction is that this currently leads to a late or non existing support of the G1 and GH1 by raw image processors.

The G Series is supported (sometimes late) by

Adobe Lightroom
LightZone
RawTherapee
Silkypix
Qimage Studio
Raw Developer

Not supported by

Capture One
DxO
Aperture
Bibble

Do you think that softare distortion correction makes the support by raw image processors more difficult?

I can only agree: the G1 is a phantastic camera, which is replacing more and more my Canon 40D equipment. It's ergonomics are superb the EVF (electronic view finder) is much better than that of most entry level dSLRs. Some people claim that in low light the EVF becomes too noisy. While that it is true, however, I do not consider this as a big problem, because the EVF signal is enhanced in low light so that you actually see even more than with optical view finders, just with a little less quality.

I got the 4/7-14mm zoom yesterday and can say that this is also a very fine lens.

Now, I am thinking to buy the 14-140mm lens separately, because it is a very nice travel lens. I inspected in a store and was very pleased with the build quality. Does anybody has some experience regarding the image quality of this lens (sold with the GH1 model as the kit lens)? Is it bettter or much worse that the kit lens of the G1 (the 14-45mm lens)?

Kind regards
