This is Madness, I already bought the gh2 body and gf3 kit. This is Good news
this is sparta!
Toy prices for toy cameras
Herp derp
Go troll somewhere else, asshat.
Much of the world doesn’t make that kind of cash with 4 years salary combined. go buy a soul big man.
Go buy an M9. Oh, that’s right. You can’t afford one.
Damn thats like the price of the Lens only I purchased Two years ago,…I hate you panny
Clearing the way for GH3?
Stuff like that are the reason i d never buy an Olympus or Panasonic, nothing more than consumer entertainment junk, no real cameras
If you expect any electronic doodad to hold value, you’re not being realistic. Whether it’s computers, cameras, or cell phones, it’s generally going to be much cheaper after a year or two.
On the contrary, this the reason to buy Panasonic now.
And you have no real talent, so go use a box brownie.
Wank wank, probably a brownie shoots better pics than those electronic gadgets, which cost a third after some months
Or trying to dampen demand for the E-M5?
I was kinda thinking that
Yeah and it could work for me unless EM-5 sensor is REALLY better…
Where are all these superdeals for GH2’s in the UK or Europe? Looking around these last few weeks some of the body only prices are more expensive than with the 14-42mm. The cheapest body only price I have seen is £529 from Mathers of Lancashire, and they only get stock the other day.
May be a bit off – but would somebody help me with “lowest price finder” webpages’ links from Germany (like preis.de) where I can search for the cheapest Oly 45 and Pana 45–200?
I’m also interested German photo stores where prices are usually low.
That’s because I’ll attend to Drupa, Düsseldorf for 2 weeks in May hence I’ll have the chance to buy these lenses directly.
Many thanks in advance!
> where I can search for the cheapest Oly 45 and Pana 45–200?
http://idealo.de/ and http://geizhals.at/de/
Also you can try the http://amazon.de/ – lots of small on-line shops accessible via the so-called Amazon Marketplace (or in other words: if ware doesn’t have the “Verkauf und Versand durch Amazon.de.” moniker, then it is an Amazon Marketplace shop.)
> I’m also interested German photo stores where prices are usually low.
I generally use the Geizhals or Amazon. If price is good, if store’s rating is good, if ware is immediately available and they do support the Packstation – then I generally do not care about what store it is.
You should also try to take advantage of the “Packstation”. Ask your friends/etc in Germany about it.
P.S. I also used in past this shop: http://www.computeruniverse.net
Thanks a lot! I’m going to look on them.
I’ve seen a GH2 with 14-42mm for £495 brand new in UK.
It did make me think twice about the E-M5. The difference is a very nice lens.
It slowed me from getting an EM-5 for now, what a deal.
That is an awesome detail, but I’d like to warn everyone that 800photovideo does not seem to pay attention to specific shipping instructions.
I went in on the $579 GH2 deal, and I specifically paid the extra $8 for FedEx Express Saver shipping so that I would get the body a little quicker and so I could collect it at the FedEx depot between 5-8 PM after work.
800photovideo disregarded this and shipped the GH2 via FedEx Home Delivery and prevented me from having the package held at the local FedEx office about 0.5 miles away.
I wasn’t thrilled about this development, but the 2nd delivery attempt fell on Saturday, 3/10. I figured I would wait home for it and watch the front of my building. Their Saturday delivery hours are 9 AM to 8 PM. So, like a fool I waited, and waited, and waited only to miss the GD FedEx guy zip in and out with the door tag around 3 PM.
Needless to say, I am EXTREMELY P*SSED that I wasted my Saturday due to 800A/V’s oversight. Had they shipped the GH2 via Express Saver I would already be shooting with it.
Now, I have to wait through tomorrow’s final delivery attempt for FedEx to hold it at their depot themselves and drop the little notification postcard in the mail. All said and done I will have waited an entire additional week to receive my GH2 body.
It’s a good deal, but be careful about the shipping method 800A/V imposes on you. It may prove a huge inconvenience if they do not follow your specific instructions.
Yea I would recommend just the normal free shipping option.
I got the GH2 from them on Friday here in FL, They shipped it a few hours after the sale ended and sent me a tracking number too. Same thing with the gf3, shipped a few hours after I bought it, that’s not bad considering they have the right to wait days to ship it.
It does seem like they would just overlook requests & treat all orders the same since they ship out so items many so fast.
Maybe you can demand a refund for the extra shipping they charged you since they overlooked your requests?
AOO-
Their free shipping option IS FedEx Home Delivery. So basically they’ve pocketed my $8 and tremendously inconvenienced me.
On the phone now trying to get FedEx to either hold at the depot or redirect it to the nearest office…what a fun way to spend the first nice Sunday of the year…
Update…FedEx’s central office won’t redirect the body to the nearest FedEx office for me to pickup because of the way the shipper’s account is configured. The best they can do is request the driver deliver after 5:30 PM and have him call me if I’m not immediately available.
At this point I’ve wasted so much time with this I’m half tempted to tell FedEx to return the GH2. Part of me would gladly pay more for a used body from KEH, who has always had bulletproof service.
Why throw all that $$$ at a Panny when you can get a real camera — OM5 — for a little more???
That kit’ll be $200 less in a few weeks.
Oops, replied to the wrong post!
Are you a fellow Yooper?
The lens alone sells used for $600. The only reason it’s this low now is because they’ve apparently got excess stock.
Don’t tell me this now! I’d rather live in ignorant bliss because I bought my GH2 a month ago for what I THOUGHT was a good price 🙁
Still a nice camera though.
Sony have to be blamed for this . When it enter cameras market , it keep launched new products indirectly push other manufacturers to do the same otherwise lose up in the run .
Look at GF series !
GH2 if I’m not wrong almost achieved 2 years old so it’s quite reasonable to replace if really have breakthrough technologies , minor improvements will not be accepted !
Very few people had a GH2 before mid December 2010, so it’s Been available for closer to 1 year than 2.
This deal is now closed and dead but some 90 lucky people did get to take advantage of it. Seems strange of the necessity to clear inventory if a replacement is not on the way?
The introduction of the GH3 is imminent!
My wish Mr. Pany:
-1080p60
-4K video as a built in feature, or if not, then as a possibility with a subsequent hack
-global shutter
-weather sealed body
-girls girls girls (this one is a constant wish)
I hope that buyers of this deal realize that this seller is known for selling grey market gear. So, no warranty from Panasonic USA, and often incomplete packaging and documentation.
Still, great price for this kit.
damn missed the deal
