Panasonic GH1: worldwide price drops.

We noticed that the Panasonic include("gh1.php"); ?> price dropped in many countries. As you may remember few weeks ago we posted a rumor which said that the GH1 could become a successor in February-March. We don’t know (and we don’t believe) that the current price drops has something to do with the rumored successor release.

We need to remember that the stock is getting very good right now unlike July when I got it. Plus the 7D and Panasonic’s own GH1 is taking some of it’s sales. Now with the release of the Olympus EP2, there’s more competition. Because of all that, it shouldn’t be surprising that the price is going down. Anyway I hear Panasonic has discounted the prices to distributes.
