Arthur, an Electronics Engineer from St. Petersburg, has dissected his FZ1 and provided some images with comments in Russian (the translations by Babelfish, WordLingo and PROMT are pretty poor as they choke on slang words). There are images of the flash (with control and capacitor), back cover, backplane, main board (front and back), EVF, lens (with motors and cables), CCD (also enlarged and with socket). As a bonus, he has a photo of the inside of the Panasonic 8MB SD card. Also see these photos of the FZ1 backplane, Venus engine LSI, lens diagram and lens cross-section (here, here and here).
