2 years ago |Yes.He did say it was usable with other Microphones.
Peter Thomson

2 years ago |Robert White is wrong about that. There is no external microphone jack on the GX1. Panasonic reserves that feature for its GH series cameras which are more video oriented. ie. the GH2 has a jack.
In spite of that …as I shoot only stills…I have a Silver GX1 on the way to go with the LVF2 I received yesterday. The camera was a little hard to track down and actually have one shipped in a timely manner. The Amazon site says that the silver camera bodies will be delayed in shipping out? …so is it in stock or almost in stock????
…but Pany got the camera and viewfinder out pretty quickly this time around…so that is an improvement.

Iso1600 on the GX1 is same or better then Iso400 on the E-3. Great great allround camera the GX1.

i just has the local shop (which has 12 in stock and are already sold out) order a silver body for me. hoping they will get it faster than i would if i ordered online (plus still waiting for all the funds or else i would probably just order now from Samys.

2 years ago |I had pre-ordered a GX1 from Amazon and got notice that it shipped today (black, body only). The order status had been saying for a while that the item would *not* arrive by Dec 25, but it looks like they were just trying to keep expectations low.
