Does the lack of comment mean zero interest in the GF2 I wonder?
I think so. People is more interested in Fuji X100 and Olympus XZ-1! And I think most of the current GF1 owners will skip the GF2 and wait for the GF3.
Don’t forget the make-believe, never-never land of an EP3!
I had a chance to play around with a GF2 and an XZ-1 the other day and they’re nearly identical in size! I was surprised!
GF2: 4.44 x 2.67 x 1.29″ (11.28 x 6.78 x 3.28 cm) – Approx. 9.35 oz (265g) body only
XZ-1: 4.35 x 2.55 x 1.67″ / 11.06 x 6.48 x 4.23cm – 9.70 oz / 275g Camera, Battery & Media
The GF2 interface is really not bad at all… in some ways better than the GH2… and far better the the XZ-1’s interface (8 clicks to delete a photo!).
I was ready to hate the GF2, but this really changed my view of it. Given that I already have a few lenses (20mm, 7-14mm and 14-140mm) it actually wouldn’t be a bad auxiliary (girlfriend) camera. 😉
Yea, I just got the GF2 with the 14mm with the intent of selling the camera and keeping the lens. But after playing with the camera for a while, I don’t really understand what all the complaint is about. You don’t have to use the touchscreen at all if you don’t want to, and the interface is really nice IMO, probably my favorite out of all the mirrorless camera’s I’ve used so far. Making me want to sell the e-p1 and just keep the GF2, but I love the inbody IS of the ep1 too much.
well, I hope Panasonic gets their naming scheme right, and they don’t call the GF1 successor GF3. Apparently, they made the GF2 as it is to compete with Sony, and just kept the GF to remind people it’s based on the marvellous GF1. GF2 should have been called GS1 or something, but it clearly wasn’t different enough from the GF1.
Since this had nothing to do with the lense price drop, I quickly want to express my hope that the 20mm’s price drops after the 25mm gets released.
