Interface is kind of lame, but the GF2 wasn't that great either. With its hybrid touch interface, it was kind of confusing to get the hang of what was touch activated, and not. Some functions you'd touch, and then to select from within that menu you'd have to use the physical scroll button. Neither of them are that great--I'm a fan of digic menus. It's not worth factoring the interfaces into the equation. I'd say the Nex interface comes out on top, if only slightly.
Have you been looking at the EPL3 as well? The new EP's are supposedly the best yet.

nope she seems to be dead set on the GF3 actually (base on looks)...but when she looked at the specs... everything was better on the C3 haha

and I just checked DXO they say
Sony NEX C-3 vs Sony A580 vs Pentax K5 vs Nikon D7000: is it really the same sensor?
The scores say no, but our measurements loudly say yes, this is the same sensor but it has been tuned differently:
Strangely, the lowest ISO available on the NEX C3 is a mere ISO 200, this limitation does not allow the user to take full advantage of the built characteristics of this sensor in Low-ISO.
Not being able to go further down than ISO 200 explains the difference in scores as far as dynamic range and color sensitivity are concerned.
On the other hand the Sony NEX C3 should be able to provide the same Image Quality scores in High ISO (the lowlight ISO Score is of 1083).
