One of our readers sent a screenshot from a google search result that shows a Panasonic GF2 Amazon advertising. The reader reported that when he clicked on the link he landed on the following GF1 Amazon page
We from 43rumors heard from our sources that Panasonic is working on an ultracompact GF model but we have no confirmation yet that such a model will be announced at Photokina. What we know for sure is that Panasonic has postponed the GH2 announcement on September 21th.

I would love to know whether Olympus is going to announce another PEN model.
ops, no GH1 successor on Photokina?!
This is a common online marketing tactic. You’ll notice that when you search for “panasonic gf2”, which no doubt many of us continue to do, you’ll see only one google ad.
When a new product is imminent, there is a brief period where no one is fighting over the keyword for pay-per-click (ppc) advertising. So Amazon is getting traffic for .05 per click.
Eventually, the GF2 will come out, and the keyword will be saturated by reseller, and the price of ppc will go up.
Come to think of it, 43Rumors.com could take advantage of this too. Create a few “Looking for the GF2?” ads and lead them to your blog. You’ll pay .05-.10 to introduce a new camera nerd to your site! 🙂
BTW, I’m still waiting for the Panasonic announcement that you heard was going to happen yesterday. Any update on that?

Thanks Steve for clearing that up for me, i thought it said the announcement on the 21st was postponed…
There MUST be a new Pen. Or a new GF. Or both. The competition has caught up and gone ahead. We’ll be getting something nice and shiny to stick a lovely heavy Voigtlander on I’m sure.
Come on Admin, you’ve been hyping E5 rumors since Tuesday, saying you would have more to share later in the week, well its now Friday…
Lets hear what you got, or do you not have anything?
I am hoping for E-5 update too as it’s end of week.
So do I. Admin, where are the E5 rumours?
damn… the demands have reach a fever pitch, photokina is so close everyone is outside their minds for information. admin how is your day going? how do you like your e-p1? do you ever find the hotshoe flash is too large and difficult to use?
Must…. wait…. for… Photokina….
Stay… away…. from…. existing… primes…. on…. Amazon….

Funny thing that a camera that don’t exist can generate 238 000 hits on Google!
Strange.. a google link that got amazon with a capital ‘A’. Looks to me like faked !
