Damn did we all love the GF1! The bad news is that you almost can’t find it in Stock anymore. Panasonic discontinued the camera and if you find them than certainly not for a reasonable price.. There are still readers asking me where they can get it for a decent price. One of our readers found a nice deal. You can get three display units for $400/270 Euro (body only):
– first display unit on [shoplink 21852 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
– second display unit on [shoplink 21851 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
– third display unit on [shoplink 21850 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
I don’t know how long those deals will last. Wish you Good Luck!

IMO…the GF1 is a better camera than the GF2 or G2…if you like a hands-on mechanical camera….smaller than the GH2…and a hell of a lot cheaper with very close image quality for stills at a great price.
For those in Holland, there are plenty GF1’s still in stock at Fotobooms.nl, Amsterdam. A reputable shop (physical and web). Body only for €299 (silver/red/white), Body + 14-45 for €399 in black or €489 in silver/red/white, Body + 20mm for €499 (only in silver). Guess that last one also solves the 20mm availability for some people…
I’m not sure they ship abroad, just glad I have this shop in my hometown…
would surely be nice to have it as a 2nd body, in order not to change lenses when needed, and the fact it has a built in flash, would make it a good “snapshot” camera too. 299 sounds tempting, but on the other hand, i am on a very tight budget, and means i have to make up priorities..
hmmm…that combo with the 20 mm…..oh decisions,decisions…..
