<p>In a morbid twist of Bresson's decisive moment the the most synical 'prize' of war photojournalism has been to capture the moment of death. Robert Capa was long believed to have been first in his image of the falling soldier in the Spanish Civil war <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Capa,_Death_of_a_Loyalist_Soldier.jpg">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Capa,_Death_of_a_Loyalist_Soldier.jpg</a> but now that is in dispute. If you take Edie Adams image out of context because I think much has been said regarding its influence on the politics of the Vietnam war at that time it remains an iconic image in that it captures the moment of death. It might be interesting to find out how many moment of death images there are? Outside of film captures it is very rare. The only other one that comes to my mind is of Lee Harvey Oswald being shot. </p>

<p>I was in the same boat as you. 5D, my favorite lens the 16-35II. I shoot alot wide and 24 is probably my favorite focal length. I rarely use much above 50. So, as you may have guessed, I went with an LX3 and havent looked back. Its just such a fun little camera. I must admit I do find the GF1 a sexy little camera as well and maybe if they come out with a wide prime might consider it. Unfortunately the same thing that makes the GF1 interesting for me, the larger chip, will necessarily make the lenses much bigger and even then won`t be able to compete with the 5D in very low light. Therefor the LX3 or similar small frame will always have its niche. <br>
