The difference between the two cameras is in the size and the interface. The image quality really is not that different. The GF2 is smaller and has a touchscreen, The GF1 is more like a traditional SLR in its control set up. You may want to consider the Panasonic G3 instead, as it has just been introduced and has viewfinder which the other two cameras do not.
