GH2
Steve Jobs presented the new iPad? Guys, there is an even more impressive news coming from Panasonic 🙂
Yetserday one 43rumors reader ordered the GH2+14-140mm and got that mail shortly after from Amazon:
“We have good news! We’re able to get this part of your order to you faster than we originally promised:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 16.05 MP Live MOS Interchangeable Lens Camera with 3-inch Free-Angle Touch Screen LCD and 14-140mm HD Hybrid Lens (Black)”
Previous estimated arrival date: March 11 2011
New estimated arrival date: March 07 2011″
Son you might order the GH2 now at Amazon (Click here)! That time you should get the camera within a reasonable time!
UPDATE: They are not accepting preorders anymore 🙁
GF2
And the second good news is that also the new Panasonic GF2 will be in Stock on March 9 at Amazon (Click here).
Sounds like Panasonic is finally shipping their stuff…right before the new GF3 and GH3 camera announcements…LOL!

6 month old camera for $2099?
Thanks, but no thanks!
This Panasonic distribution looks really pathetic 🙁
I was the one who lucked out on the preorder / Amazon shipped it the same day deal.
The Amazon price is $1,499 for the black GH2 w/ 14-140mm. The inflated prices are third parties.
Gino is absolutely right, someone at Panny should be canned for this fiasco.
How can they not see the demand for one of their products in the largest consumer market on the planet?
There is even a youtube video mocking the whole GH2 is not available situation.

Well I got mine, good luck to everyone else.
btw
Got a feeling the G3 they are getting reading to announce should be available for this years Christmas shopping season 😉
got my GH2 on monday in my local camera store for cheaper price than on amazon as well as no waiting time 😛 non-us though. and the camera is really awesome.
I can’t read Japanese.
If I could I would have Ebay’d it
Oh, I saved $150 in CA sales tax w/ Amazon 😉
The situation in the UK seems to be completely different to that in the US. I was looking at a GF2 a couple of weeks ago in a Jessops shop and this and the GH2 seem to be widely available here. Take up of mirrorless and Micro 4/3 cameras has been higher in the UK than in many other regions so Panasonic looks to have plenty of stock here.
I would have thought Panasonic would be having a close look at why the cameras are prominently featured in stores here, while they are apparently difficult to find in the US.
