I want it with the 20mm!! Or even 14mm…. Not the zooms.
I agree Lumix. Those are the two kit lenses that the GX1 should be marketed with.
I agree Lumix, those are definitely the two lenses that this camera should have as kit lenses. (or maybe the Pany/Leica 25mm f/1.4 if they wanted to go all the way).
The X zoom is cute and compact…but it is the least optically astute of all of Pany’s kit zooms. Form-wise it works well with the GX1 body design..but not from an image-quality standpoint.
Agree !!!!
Amazon has the GX1 with x lens available too. Link: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-GX1X-Compact-System-14-42mm/dp/B00604YTD4/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327612970&sr=1-6
nice camera for your 500px flicker images…..
?!? Nice comment for your…
presumably poor record?
as if you made something that is worth more then 500px with a crappy tiny sensor camera like m43.
get a job, make money and buy a real camera.
LEICA RULES!!
Then probably you don’t make money at all with photography.
You apparently have no clue.
My income is made for 98% with (M)43 camera’s. And I’m doing very well at the moment. More time for gigs less PP than when I used Canon.
Nothing against the GX1, but…
…aren’t there any rumours/news regarding the OM-D today 🙂 ?
Looks like it’s sold out already from B&H….
$950.00 US.
I would say that is good news for US potential customers wanting the GX1. Already in Japan this black GX1 w X lens is the 8th best selling model among all ILS including DSLRs. In the US the 5 GX1 models are all in the top 60 among DSLRs sold. This availability for US indicates that production of the X lens has increased and the body only open availability is good for those preferring the 20/1.7 or 25/1.7 lens instead or the coming fast X zooms.
I expect when the real OM-D arrives in a couple of weeks it will be larger than the GX1 is now and maybe not much different from the G3 other than having IBIS, Oly processing, a different body with more wheels, and wished for better compatability or AF with older 43 lenses?
Well IBIS, Oly processing, a different body with more wheels, and wished for better compatability or AF with older 43 lenses is one hell of a lot of features
it may also have weather sealing… but who cares, right?
Wish I had weather sealing today.
Plus better VF, better video, better DR.
Tempting but its OMD FTW.
Firmware Update for GX1 (Ver 1.1) now available at the Panasonic Website!
