BAD NEWS

Oh no…Amazon removed the GH2 from their database! Click here to check it out for yourself: Panasonic GH2 search at Amazon. I don’t know if that has to d with some kind of delivery delay…it’s really frustrating!
Adorama and BHphoto do list the GH2 (Approx. Arrival December).

Oh no! First Panasonic GH2 shipment delay :(

Bad news folks. We received many mails from readers (Thank you all) and they told us the silver GH2 kits have been removed from Amazon’s general search results and their pre-orders have been canceled! Looks like the grey cameras are not shipping anytime soon :(

Meanhwile Adorama confirmed that they will start shipment on November 19th and unlike previous messages the silver GH2 is not in Stock (it was a mistake from Adorama).

Looks like we have to wait a long time before we can get our GH2!

Worldwide Panasonic GF1 and Olympus E-PL1 price drop analysis.

[shoplink 14828][/shoplink]

As you might now the Panasonic GF1 is now selling for $599 at Amazon. That’s an incredible $90 price drop compared to last week price and a $220 price drop compared to the last month price. The Olympus E-PL1 with 14-42mm Lens (Black) sells for $499. Such price drops do allow the mirrorless market to compete against the low-entry DSLR. The Nikon D3100 with 18-55mm Lens sells for $646 and the Canon EOS Rebel T2i with 18-55mm Lens for $849. For a long time an argument against the new mirrorless camera was that those cameras were too expensive. Of course DSLR can offer some advantages but so do mirrorless cameras (compact cameras and lenses, less weight and no mirror movement, etc.). The recent price drops could become more important than any new camera announcement. No excuses now, if you want a compact high-quality camera it’s time to get the [shoplink 14828]GF1[/shoplink] or the [shoplink 14832]E-PL1[/shoplink]!

The graph from Idealo.de shows the GF1 price drop in Germany (on the Panasonic GF1-14-25mm kit). The graph below shows the Olympus E-PL1+14-42mm price drop.

Trendy.Nikkei.jp worte an article about the recent Panasonic GF1 price drops. On the graph above you see the price trend comparison bertween the Panasonic GF1 (violet) and the Sony NEX-5 (green). Even if there is a GF2 coming in a few months they suggest to buy the GF1 because the price is very low.
