@TraumManufaktur Thanks. I'm having trouble getting it to work, but I am on an iPhone and my Facebook and Panasonic account are under different emails. It looks like other people are having problems too, and so I will post on Facebook. Thanks again
@p_hawks It's through the Panasonic fan page on facebook, "like" it and you see the Black Friday deal. Then go to the Panasonic shop and register with an email. It's under lenses. The price will adjust once you put it in your shopping cart.
@kazuo Yeah, sad to see $=Euro +20% prices. At least there's a 100e cash-back program in Germany when you buy at select dealers. http://www.panasonic.de/html/de_DE/8124625/index.html Otherwise, the set with the 14-140 is still 1550 Euro list :(
It's gotta do with tariffs regarding US-Japanese trade. Well, we all know the US economy is buckling, probably the two countries had struck some trade off agreement stipulating that US would help sell Jap goods en mass if Japan is willing to take in US exports.
Come on, Panasonic can't be stupid and give concessionary rates only to the US. The rest of the world are still paying the prices of 2010
It really depends on what you're shooting. If you like 1080/30p or low light (I do), the GH2 has a big advantage. Some lenses that were too slow to be useful on the GH1 become useful on the GH2. If you always shoot in good light, then the GH1 is fine. The GH2's ETC mode gives all of your lenses an additional 2.6 zoom factor, but it is only really useful in very good light because of the added noise.
Usually it's good time to get a new model when price capitulates. That's when hack for the model is matured...
Early adapters should not be afraid of price capitulation. That's why they are early adapters. M43 early adapters are super early adapters as the system being still young. I have met only one person carrying m43 body in person... and he didnt look normal. If one can wait 6 ~ 12 months, he can pick up new units at cheap price.
@TrackZillas nope, i have been unemployed since then jajajjaja
but sadly yes, everyone selling photo equipment here in Chile goes crazy with the prices, a couple of weeks ago i saw the same nd fader (same brand) that i bought on ebay for U$31, and that now is at 25 i believe, at U$160 on a webshop...
Hey bet you're jealous of us in the UK where locally you can get the cheapest GH2 - body only - for equiv of $916 .... Not!! If I lived in the US I'd get 10 of the things!!
