Having handled an E-P1 when they first appeared, John, I can tell you my
first reaction - it feels about the same size as an OM body (without the
pentaprism). I think it therefore perfectly "fits the bill" of a Leica
M-sized camera. And with the correct adaptor, you can use your Summicrons
too.
Not having handled an E-PL2, I can't say about the size - but this is from
the DPReview site:
E-P1 dimensions 121mm (W) x 70mm (H) x 36mm (D) (excluding protrusions)
E-PL2 dimensions 115.4mm (W) x 72.7mm (H) x 42mm (D) (excluding protrusions)

Does the E-PL2 shoot in Olympus RAW and take, with or without an adaptor, E
series digital lenses and OM Zuiko film camera lenses ?
Having found that E-3 sized cameras are just too large I am almost desperate
to retrench back to a a Leica M3 / M6 sized camera with high quality optics
and output.
Does the E-PL2 fit the bill ?
