yeah body only this isn't a great deal as there has been lots of m43 older models with kit lens going for under $300. Even if you don't want the kit lens, it's fairly easy to sell the 14mm pancake or...

Then it's still worth it to get a better camera and then sell off the kit lens. You'll end up with a better body at about the same price as this.
This was the original M43 body. Good in it's...

I like the GF2 for IR. With the 20/1.7 it's faster to focus than my 5DMKII with the 50/1.4. But still a good price.

I've always found the E-P1 too slippery and awkward. Like I was always on the verge of dropping it when using it one handed. The NEX 3 on the otherhand feels like it's glued on.

The APS-C sensors on the NEX require larger diameter, longer lenses which IMHO off balance the camera. The pancake lens on the GF2 is my choice for an IR camera.

Do you have the Gf3 converted? I found a good deal on Gf3 but not the Gf2. I do like the the Gf2 better looks, size, and the fact it has a hot shoe. The Gf3 is so small it looks like a toy.

The E-P1 DOES feel great in your hands. The GF2 gives you almost the same heft. The E-PLx just seems like a cheap piece of plastic junk after handling the E-P1. And the E-P1 will make a fine IR...

I have an E-P1 in 590nm, E-PL1 in 715nm and a GF2 in 665nm. The hot shoe will do you no good with an IR converted camera. You'll find the flash outputs an insignificant amount of IR to be useful....
