Panasonic GF5 fading out from US stores. Successor to be announced soon.

[shoplink 36107 ebay]

[/shoplink] The Panasonic GF5 X is now no more available at Amazon (Click here) and Adorama (Click here). There are still a few left in Stock with the 14-42mm (non X) lens. I have no final specs of the GF5 successor but I have been told it is a minor upgrade and nothing super exiting. The new successor won’t be smaller than the current GF5.  It will be interesting to see if Panasonic will also launch a fixed lens RX100 competitor later this year. That camera will be the smallest camera with FT sensor ever made to date.

That said the current GF5 can be found for a very good price ($449) with X lens and new on eBay US in [shoplink 36107 ebay]Black (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 36108 ebay]White (Click here)[/shoplink].To get notified on further eBay US price drop login and save this search on Slidoo (Click here).
