It has also been on preorder on the panasonic site as well
Panasonic was taking preorders on the black 12-32mm lens for $349.99 last time I checked. No mention of a release date though. I keep hoping they will release more cameras with it as a kit lens to bring used prices down, but no such luck. If anything, the GM1 itself has been in short supply.
Good to see the 12-32mm lens available separately as well as GM1 orange available. However the higher than list price of the lens alone suggests that supply of both the GM1 and lens are still limited as the GM1 still not available body only. In Japan sales of GM1 now more than 3X that of nearest Pany model.
Those adds for the 12-32 alone are on Amazon for a while but all sellers are shipped from Japan, so I don’t consider that much different than buying on ebay.
When I read the post I thought it was finally been offered directly through Amazon.
I’m really hoping that happens before February. Want to get one with a body only GX7.
And where is the black GM1? This color craze is driving me crazy. All the cameras and lenses should be black.
I bought the black one with kit in hk 2 months ago for Us$670. Now it is only selling even cheaper for $620. It is a great camera except for 2 things. The touch screen is finicky. I always touch some settings by mistake. I can disable it but then I have to dig deep into the menu system to get to some functions that I often use. Second, the scroll wheel. I always press it by mistake when I just want to adjust aperture. But this is by far the most capable compact. I leave my em5 at home most of the times unless I go out for some more serious stuff. The 16,000 shutter speed is a pleasant surprise. I can shoot wide open with my penaleica 25mm 1.4 under bright sun in snow. And I can carry 2 bodies with one mounting the 12-35mm 2.8 on my omd and a prime on gm1.
The wifi function is also very very useful. And u can add your own apps to allow direct file transfer, such as whatsapp or g+. You can directly whatsapp photos to your friends.
386$ 20mm in US? I just paid 219€ in France! omg
The price of 12-32mm alone is too high!
The orange GM1 is finally available in the US! That’s the one I wanted but got the black/silver. Oh well, still an amazing camera.
