Not really. My full size 5D2 is getting too big and too heavy to carry around so I have been looking for something smaller and lighter. I checked out the M9 but I don't always get what I wanted in life so I settled with the Olympus E-P1 with the shiny silver body and the 17mm f/2.8 pancake lens. I like the E-P1 so far although my fingers may be a bit too big for the tiny dial control. Would I trade in my 5D2 for the E-P1? Probably not. But I am sure I will carry the E-P1 with me more often.

This picture was taken with the E-P1.

I have a fd using 5d and have a baby few months ago, he said he cannot handle a big camera and that's why bought a EPL1 last week. He would keep 2 systems. I tried the EPL1 last Monday, it's convenience, but I think it cannot replace your FF.

I believe I can say something here. I am the one who used the Olympus E-520, then come to Canon 5D2, and now keeping my 5D2 and buy the new E-PL1. 5D2 is heavy, but it gives you a lot of things that E-PL1 could not give. The quality of the image, the weight (so heavy), the reliability (ISO3200, Picture Style...etc.) will still drive you to bring this big monster out for dedicated event. Remember, this is not the huge monster. The 1Dx, D3x, D700 suits are all heavier than 5D2 suits.

On the other hand, E-PL1 keeps smaller size and, easy for many snap shot events / traveling events. However, it does not work with any shutter chord or remote, so how can you take HDR if you want? Moreover, quality of the picture is still not as good as the 5D2.

Keep both, use the right tool at the right moment.
