YEAH….Panasonic info!!!!
Not interested
1000$, umh? If the OM-D is only 3/4 as good as the rumors say, then Pana defintely has to adjust their prices.
but you already save $0.99 on this deal. Some people are impossible to please…
Do you mean 1/4?
How nice of them to lower the price by $.99
Might have to wait untill the price goes down more.
949$ for a m43 camera that is worth 300 dollar on ebay after 10 month..
they are nuts……
Not so. I paid $500 for my GF1 body over two years ago and just sold the body alone with no lens on ebay for $300.
gf1 isn’t gx1 witch is nice looking ( and build ) camera but has the crappy G3 sensor witch sucks at low iso compared with the gf1 😉 . in my opinion gF1 remain the big star of the m43’s till now. but rumored omd sounds pretty interesting.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. 🙂
Funny. Bought my E-pl2 about a year ago and they are being sold for about $450.
@ Admin
this new OM-D series willl it have Four Thirds mount or a Micro Four Thirds mount???
ps
can we have the who’s online widget back please? 😀
m43 mount! Ok, will put it back on the sidebar.
thanks admin 😀
I have my GX1 since three day now, and for me it’s the best GF ever made.
it better be, since it is the latest model.
The last GF (GF2, GF3) was not as the same quality than the GX1 (nothing to compare), and this GFX1 is really better than the GF1 (which was good), not a question of the latest model.
Just want to precise that the GF1 had a better body than the GF2/ GF3, and the GF1 is two years old 😉
If I’m not wrong , this is fastest Pana system camera gets it firmware update . Does this mean it will discontinue very soon ?
The GX1 loses a whole star on the french review because of the 1/160e deffect at 42 mm with the 14-42 X
14-42X lens is also optically the worst of the three Pany kit zooms. IF you have to use one of those things..you are better off buying the GX1 body and going to eBay and buying the original 14-45mm Pany Kit Zoom. It is optically better than both of the new lenses and has a metal lens mount (unlike the 14-42mm normal non-X zoom). Not as hip…but a better performer.
Unlike what you said. Slrgear had proven it is the best kit lens
so what ? crapy camera … im happy with the gf1
Popeye..perhaps you need to read this:

thx. and yes i’ve read the article few weeks ago… but still i don’t find any reason to upgrade. first of all i don’t like G3 plastic build. worst @ low iso then GF1. no mjpeg for video. touchscreen.,,, i really wait some semi-pro camera with better DR and improved iso ( but without melty images ) classic design.. like rangefinder’s but with modern flavor. and i ‘l don’t expect to be less than 1000 $. till then i’ll stick with my gf1. gx1 isn’t a deal for me .. i think is useless if you already have an gf1 .
the “you save 0.99” is so hilarious
