Digitalrev is also known for their video reviews (the video above shows a [shoplink 16254]GH2[/shoplink] vx 60D comparison)
Our US/Canda readers are very frustrated because the GH2 isn’t in Stock at Amazon US, Adorama and BHphoto. That’s why the well know online store Digitalrev contacted me. They wanted you to know that they have the GH2 in Stock (Click here) and you can order it right now. They ship it to US and Canada too! Here is the text they wrote to me:
“Since each state in the US has different tax system, the import handling cannot be pre-applied for US customers. Therefore, the tax will be applied when the camera imported to the specific state. We will provide a photocopied version of the English menu as the cameras are considered as grey import that come with non-English manual, such as Japanese or Chinese. The camera itself would be in English or if just in case, the manual (the booklet) will tell how to change it into English.”

Bye the way, digitalrev ships worldwide. So everyone can buy at Digitalrev. But I know US and canadian readers are particularly in need for the GH2! :)
The Panasonic 45mm lens is now in Stock for less than $700 at Amazon and BHphoto. That’s a much more affordable price than the almost $900 we had to pay for it months ago. You can read a review of the lens at Photozone.
And also the new Panasonic 100-300mm lens gets a new discount. It’s in Stock for less than $540 at Amazon (Click here). Combine those deals with the recent Panasonic 7-14mm price drop and you will notice that Panasonic is lowering the price of some of their best lenses. To bad the prices in Europe and Asia are still high. Look at the price trend of the 7-14mm lens in Germany:
Pretty boring :)

We really didn’t have to wait a lot to see the E-PL2 in Stock. Also americans can finally get ithe black E-PL2 kit at Amazon (Click here) and Bhphoto (Click here).
Meanwhile Photographyblog published their own Olympus E-PL2 review: “This new model also mostly solves one of our major criticisms of the E-PL1 – its painfully slow auto-focusing speed. The E-PL2 and new 14-42mm kit lens are thankfully a lot faster to lock onto the subject in good light or bad, so much so that we only missed the decisive moment due to our own fault, rather than the cameras“. The camera gets Highly Recommended!
