Sounds like your hands on "skillset" is about like mine
I just got a Panasonic GF1 with the 14-45 and am really liking it. Using Aperture as my RAW converter, as a very recent Mac convert I'm still stumbling around in the software but having lots of fun!
I'm very good at 9 out of 10 steps. It is that last one that will get me. I'd probably glue myself to the front element.
