Anyone who owns a Panasonic L1 dslr?

After becoming interested in the new Pen camera I found the Panasonic L1 and it looks like a very interesting camera. I really like the fact everything can be set physically as opposed to going into a menu etc. It is about 3 years old now but I am still interested. Anyone have any experience with the camera?

The Pen will be better in most regards. On these weird cameras luminous landscape is generally pretty good. You may have read this already http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/Panasonic-L1.shtml

A few things that is making me consider this over the Pen.
Price - L1 is about 300~400 used E-P1 is about 800 new
Optical view finder - L1 has one although dark but still there
Physical manual controls - L1 has fully on dials for shutter and aperture (with the right lens).
Built-in bounce flash

The resolution is only 7.5 million pixels but my 30d about the same and I am more than satisfied.

I have to say though that I am very impressed with the high ISO samples from the Pen... who would have thought this possible even a few years ago.
