GH2

Steve Jobs presented the new iPad? Guys, there is an even more impressive news coming from Panasonic :)
Yetserday one 43rumors reader ordered the GH2+14-140mm and got that mail shortly after from Amazon:
We have good news!  We’re able to get this part of your order to you faster than we originally promised:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 16.05 MP Live MOS Interchangeable Lens Camera with 3-inch Free-Angle Touch Screen LCD and 14-140mm HD Hybrid Lens (Black)”
Previous estimated arrival date: March 11 2011
New estimated arrival date: March 07 2011″

Son you might order the GH2 now at Amazon (Click here)! That time you should get the camera within a reasonable time!

UPDATE: They are not accepting preorders anymore :(

GF2

And the second good news is that also the  new Panasonic GF2 will be in Stock on March 9 at Amazon (Click here).

Sounds like Panasonic is finally shipping their stuff…right before the new GF3 and GH3 camera announcements…LOL!

Kowa 77mm f/1.0 modified for Micro Four Thirds

[shoplink 20259 ebay][/shoplink]

jieying-usa” is a well known eBay reseller that modifies lenses so that they can fit on Micro Four Thirds camera without the use of adapters. And his latest creation is the modified [shoplink 20259 ebay]Kowa 77mm f/1.0 lens[/shoplink]. This is the description: “This lens is 77mm f/1.1~f/11 , was manufactory in Japan by Kowa. Lens rework on Panasonic Lumix G1 GF1 GH1 or Olympus E-P1 E-P2. After rework image little large than 77mm, Lens focusing from 5ft to infinity. (scale will not correctly you must use screen or viewfinder focusing). Glass looks mint, no fungus and no scratch. It is specially for Portrait use with full open aperture, image will be soft, when you step down after F/2.8 will get sharper, but when you use small aperture, corner image looks blur. I think buy this lens is to use large opening soft effect, smaller aperture doesn’t make any sense. Including a tripod mount, you may take it off if you feel not easy to carry on. (camera body for display only, not included)

Desperate deal: Someone is aksing you $2,300.00 for a used GH2!

Panasonic can’t satisfy the demand for GH2 cameras in the US market. After 6 months of wait there is still some dude that wants to take profit from your frustration. So it happens that the the worlds biggest online store sells one single used GH2 for $2,300.00 (Click here to check it at Amazon)!!! Time for us Europeans to start selling our GH2 cameras for $2.000 to our US friend. We could become rich ;)

Incredible GF1 deal in UK (not so in US).

The british online shop Parkcameras is selling the GF1 body for 199 Pounds only. That’s a huge deal for the GF1! As you have certainly noticed there are not many cameras in Stock. The graph above shows how the price of the GF1 is increasing at Amazon US. It proves that there is still a considerable demand for the GF1 but also that there are only few in Stock. Check out at [shopcountry 14828]!

P.S.: The newer Panasonic GF2 is already in Stock at [shopcountry 17361]
