I don’t know what’s the purpose of this but Panasonic displayed some special “Art edition” GM1 cameras. Don’t think these will go for sale. Or is Panasonic trying to check if they can follow Leica and Hasselblad route of special limited edition camera sales?

I really hate it when camera companies do this.
I am selling these fine chrome spinner lenscaps.
Dude, I think you’re onto something there!
But if there isn’t room in the body for a pop-up flash, where the hell will they put the sub-woofer?
Are you having an insecurity complex.
Why would this bother you?
Or are you afraid of not being taken seriously because you own the same type of camera and don’t want to be associated with the art editions?
I’d say, if there’s a market for this more, power to Panasonic 🙂 if they can sell a boatload of it.
…..but the one on the left looks like a fishing lure?….put a hook on it and maybe you could catch a yellow fin. …Is the GM1 splash proof???
😉 you are right. Not that I’d buy the art version, but I’m certainly not bothered by the availability of it. I couldn’t care less.
The silver version I like most but that’s selling with a silver lens. I prefer my lenses black but yet I’m not stopped if it’s not available. I have a silver 45mm F1.8. Function over form.
Liberace would have picked up the gold model. Needs some rhinestones, if you ask me.
Enough with the poofster and pansy trimmings!
They really need more butch wrappings, like diamond plate, shot blasted stainless steel, pickled bronze and COR-TEN steel. How about quilted fabric and barn wood for the Martha Stewart set. 😉
Fugly like Hasselblad’s NEX-7.

NOTHING is fugly like that Hasselblad.
They don’t look very well made in the photos. Are they?
I am so looking forward to ugly-tacky-bling-glitz going out of fashion. In other words, cameras shouldn’t try to look like tweenager clothes; clothes should look more like cameras! H&M is starting to carry more black clothes, so there is hope for humanity, yet!
Always nice to see something different, but I’m not sure if this is different or just horrible.
That’s a what we call a “bling bling look” where I live. I think it looks cheap, be if there’s someone to buy it after all, that’s fine with me 🙂
It’s a marketing strategies to clear all the remain stock of GM1 before time is running up or before completely take over by GM5 .
They are designed to match the tattoos on teenagers butts. Ugly is the new cool.
OMG these are cool I don’t care what you say haha…and usually I hate when they turn cameras into fashion accessories..Not that I would buy any 😉
no roadmap lens panasonic at photokina?
No…but the have unveiled The GM5’s”Fashion Future”!
Wow – finally a camera from Panasonic that outdoes the Pink GF2 !
Was the one on the left in a fire? Is the GM1 fireproof?
Is there an “Hello Kitty ™ theme” available? 😉
I’m afraid NOT?
There’s a goodbye doggie theme tho 😉
Hit and run?
Methinks cameras in fancy skins are best in silver not black. Unless it’s a fancy black skin on a black body. Snake skins, Leatherette skins, Colourful skins are all best on a silver body.
Not my taste, but if someone likes them, fine. Anyway who am I to judge? My E-P2 is blue and I love it!
I loved the Panasonic G2 in blue!
if i remember well, there was an GF1 pink also?
I have a wooden E-M1 and like it. But would gladly take a E-M5 like modern line texture too.
Well, the OMG-GM1 is finally annouced.
