GF1 compared with LX3, D90 and D200

I've had the GF1 about four months now; I've had the other three cameras a lot longer. I love the GF1. I think Nikon has a lot to learn from Panasonic about good, friendly and fun camera design. I consider the GF1 significantly better than the LX3, a match (in image quality) for the D200, and for many purposes a reasonable alternative to the D90 (and MUCH better for video shooting). The lenses are great, especially that 20mm pancake lens (as good as or best lens I've ever tested). The fact that I can pack the GF1, the 20, the 14-45, the 45-200, and the 7-14 in a Lowepro Rezo 170AW (purse-sized camera bag) at a weight of just under 2kg means this kit is going to replace my SLR kits for most overseas and other air travel.
I've heard Nikon execs have said Micro 4/3 cameras aren't a threat to SLRs. They are very seriously deluding themselves, at least in the recreational-photography market.
