This one is probably a fools day joke. But the author of the rumor seems to be pretty convinced that this is a “real” rumor. I didn’t hear anything about such a camera but beeing a rumor website I will post that 🙂
Keep in mind. This rumor has a very high chance to be fake ok?

Would love to see GF1 successor with all this. One thing that I don’t like about GF1 is lack of inbuilt EVF… Wonder what would be the price of this ‘beast’ 😀
sounds like a sucessor to the G1
will probly retail for around 1000 based on the specs
Maybe they’ll have Jeff Ascough test it first… 😛
I don’t believe that Panasonic needs to have a new product line, and part of the specifications were just something like borrowed from GH2 (noted full HD video of 60fps is mentioned). The “Pro” words described do not give us too much information on how competitive it will be compared with the real professional DSLR.
Nice. m43 system needs a more advanced sensor.
As the GH2 name is taken by a camcorder it could be the GH1 successor ! As to me It’s my dreamed m43 camera ! I’d love this news will become true !!
To clarify, my friend told me that on April 1, but he was teasing me, after the weekend I will talk to him, I think he told me a half true instead of a fools joke, hope he it is this way, sometimes he seem playing with me but some moments no and he said he was not sure of the name
Before the G2 and G10 launch he told me about them, and all he said was true, I even have send email to 43rumors telling what he said, let’s see this time what happens, to me it can be a GH2 a GP1 or something else, but if I had to choose a name I choose GP1
To me really hope it’s true

Hi Aleo! Thank you for contacting us 🙂
I also hope the rumor will become truth. Let us know if you get some more details! Thanks
A weather sealed body without sealed lens on the roadmap…?
Something is missing…
Isn’t this the metal-bodied camera that was linked here a few weeks ago in patent form?

Hope so. I’d buy it if it covered 3200…
1 april joke
i wonder if the GP1 is actually the GH2 and if the 100-300mm lens is going to be wheater sealed…
