Panasonic GF1 price drops on Amazon and Adorama (also in Europe)

More we get closer to Photokina more we can find new price drops (especially in US).
The Panasonic GF1 with 20mm f/1.7 Lens price dropped at $739.43 (click here). But here is an even better price on Adorama…$724! (click here). Yes, I expect new GF camera/cameras at Photokina, but I am not sure if it/they will replace the current model…

Also in Germany the price is getting cheaper and cheaper:

The best deal is on Pixmania Deutschland (707,00€ with the following code “PIX12DE07”)
