DEAL: Panasonic GF1 body only for $599.99. Panasonic GF1+20mm lens with a little more human price

Share

Finally some new interesting deals. Amazon US has the Panasonic GF1 (Black Body Only) in Stock via Third-Party reseller. The price is really good -> $599.99 (and three left in Stock). Adorama sells the same body only option for $799.95!

US citizen are not so lucky with Panasonic stuff like europeans. After 5 months it is still difficoult to find the highly rewarded Panasonic 20mm lens in Stock with a the “normal” price ($399).

At least the price of the Panasonic GF1 with 20mm f/1.7 Lens has fallen a little bit (now $958.00 at amazon via third party resellers). That’s one of the best prices since months on amazon. Of course you can choose to buy it from amazon itself for $899 but the item is not in Stock since….since months :(

UPDATE_
Just received an email from a 43rumors reader: “I keep noticing you mention that Amazon US is out of stock of the GF1 w 20mm. While this remains true, in my experience they fill orders at the low price fairly fast.
I placed an order on the evening of Jan 12. The unit was supposedly backordered for 3-5 weeks. The product page at the $899 price tends to shift between 3 – 5 and 2 – 4 weeks. My GF1 arrived in TX on Jan 26. Very happy to have waited and saved the money.

(FT5) UPDATED! Panasonic teaser for a new MFT cameras and the LX3(or TZ ?) successor!

Share

The teaser clearly shows a new MFT camera and a new compact camera!
Panasonic, a leading imaging brand, is pleased to announce that for the very first time it will attend this years Focus on Imaging show held at the NEC Birmingham from 7th-10th March.
Panasonic UK

We already told you two new cameras will come. Probably the successor and a TZ or LX compact camera.

UPDATE: This are the G1 and TZ7 silhuettes?
UPDATE2: Drew S. noticed something really interesting: “The silhouette of the new Panasonic compact camera shows the mode control dial to the left of the shutter button as you face the camera. The dial on the newly announced TZ (zs7/tz10) is to the right of the shutter button. So it appears that this is not from the TZ series.

The G1 and TZ7 silhouettes

Just a reminder: The G1 has been officially discontinued in Japan and the Panasonic LX3 price is continually dropping (now $371.70 at amazon)
