If your willing to lay out some more cash, I'd look at the Olympus OMD EM5. I believe it's weather sealed and it has quite a few compact/pancake lenses with very good ratings and relatively cheap.

I'll be pulling the trigger on the OMD later this month or early next. It has received great reviews so far.

Here is the NEX-5N + kit lense for $500: Alpha NEX-5N with 18-55mm lens | NEX-5NK/B | Sony USA

Doesn't have a memory card or bag though, like the Adorama deal originally had.

For these cameras I'm assuming you're using it for video. If that is indeed the case, go GH1 all the way (or GH2 depending on the budget). I had one for a while and with a hack on it it is amazing. For just pictures the GH_ line isn't that great but oh my god footage is amazing with a hack on them.
