In USA you can still take advantage of the $100 price drops on the GH2 and GX1!
GH2 with 14-42mm kit lens is now in Stock for $749 at Amazon (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).
GX1 body only is now priced at $649 at Amazon (Click here) and Adorama (with extras!).
GX1 body with 14-42mm kit lens is now priced at $699 at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).
GX1 body with 14-42mm X lens for $849 at Amazon (Click here).
Despite all these nice deals it is the Olympus E-PL2 that is the most ordered m43 camera at Amazon (Click here). And speaking of the most popular camera there is certainly the just available Fuji X PRO 1 (Click here). Speaking of that camera I found something weird about it. A sniff test! I posted it on my sisther website MirrorlessRumors.com (Click here). Kinda funny what people invents to become famous 🙂

The most Sold M43 is EPL1 not EPL2
The most pre-ordered is E-M5 😀
Yes and that is only because the EPL1 is at fire sale given it is 2 generations old with slow slow AF. After that model would come the GH2, GF3, and GX1.
The lowered price on the GH2 at this time makes one wonder if the coming G5 is being significantly upgraded in video capability and features?
No, look again. Is the Panasonic GH2!

Can you share any info with us about Panasonic’s upcoming m43 camcorder, or any video-related product news?
Cheers!
Panasonic is selling the GH2 w/14-42mm lens for $649.96, for “Facebook Fans”. There’s a link on the Lumix Facebook page: facebook.com/Lumix (The link takes you to shop.panasonic.com)
I’m not sure it’s required that you “Like” them on Facebook. Once you’re at shop.panasonic.com, if you add the GH2 to your cart, which requires creating an account, you see the $649.96 price. (plus $1.99 for shipping.)
m43 system looks so bad in keeping its walue over time… I hope things wont go the same way for lenses…
I can just already see myself crying next year when Olympus releases new OMDs and this one goes from 1100€ to 600€ new!!;-(
Such bitches… Just discontinue the model… Play the Canikon game. Dont over stock – Dont shit on us with that policy!:-/
You are buying electronics – what do you expect?
If you want your photography purchases to hold value, buy the best MANUAL lenses you can afford.
If you can live with 1 generation old (often not even 1 year old!) this strategy offers great value to you…
Check this website out: http://www.electron-world.com/store/search.php?mode=search&substring=gx1&including=all&by_title=on&by_shortdescr=on&by_fulldescr=on&by_sku=on
They sell all sorts of stuff tax-free (hence why the GX1 prices are $100 cheaper than as listed above).
I don’t know how it works in the USA (or EU, for that matter), but I got my current Panasonic G2 from that site a couple years back, and I didn’t have to pay the tax when it was imported. Score! Shipping is free too.
It has a limited range though (no E-M5 yet; it’ll be interesting to see the price – another NZ site currently has it listed for NZD$2100 with the 12-50) and pretty average design, but it does the trick.
