Bad news folks. We received many mails from readers (Thank you all) and they told us the silver GH2 kits have been removed from Amazon’s general search results and their pre-orders have been canceled! Looks like the grey cameras are not shipping anytime soon :(
Click here to see the silver kits on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043VE288.

Meanhwile Adorama confirmed that they will start shipment on November 19th and unlike previous messages the silver GH2 is not in Stock (it was a mistake from Adorama).

Looks like we have to wait a long time before we can get our GH2!

Panasonic GH2 preorder:
Amazon US, Adorama, BHphoto, Amazon UK, Amazon France, Amazon Japan

One of our readers just sent us following text he received from Adorama:

Onew more news: I found two links at Amazon for the Black Body Only GH2 and the Silver Body Only GH2. But you can’t preorder :(

Panasonic GH2 preorder:
Amazon US, Adorama, BHphoto, Amazon UK, Amazon France, Amazon Japan

At Amazon you can get the black Olympus E-PL1 with 14-42mm Lens for $480 (Click here)

Other deals:
– Panasonic 7-14mm lens in Stock for $999 at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
– Olympus 9-18mm lens for $550 at Amazon

As you might now the Panasonic GF1 is now selling for $599 at Amazon. That’s an incredible $90 price drop compared to last week price and a $220 price drop compared to the last month price. The Olympus E-PL1 with 14-42mm Lens (Black) sells for $499. Such price drops do allow the mirrorless market to compete against the low-entry DSLR. The Nikon D3100 with 18-55mm Lens sells for $646 and the Canon EOS Rebel T2i with 18-55mm Lens for $849. For a long time an argument against the new mirrorless camera was that those cameras were too expensive. Of course DSLR can offer some advantages but so do mirrorless cameras (compact cameras and lenses, less weight and no mirror movement, etc.). The recent price drops could become more important than any new camera announcement. No excuses now, if you want a compact high-quality camera it’s time to get the [shoplink 14828]GF1[/shoplink] or the [shoplink 14832]E-PL1[/shoplink]!

The graph from Idealo.de shows the GF1 price drop in Germany (on the Panasonic GF1-14-25mm kit). The graph below shows the Olympus E-PL1+14-42mm price drop.

Check your Pixmania or Amazon store to see the current GF1 prices:

Amazon Deutschland, Amazon UK and Amazon France

Trendy.Nikkei.jp worte an article about the recent Panasonic GF1 price drops. On the graph above you see the price trend comparison bertween the Panasonic GF1 (violet) and the Sony NEX-5 (green). Even if there is a GF2 coming in a few months they suggest to buy the GF1 because the price is very low.

Oh yes guys, the GF2 will come within few months (very early 2011!) and that’s why we are continually having new price drops on the Panasonic GF1.

Just look at Amazon US: The Panasonic GF1+20mm lens is now in Stock for $599 (Click here to get the camera!). One month ago the price was over $800!

And there are also many price drops in Europe. As usual I can’t check every shop in every european country so I give you only a few links to my affiliate shops. Pixmania usually is one of the stores that has very good prices (Click on country name): Pixmania Deutschland, Pixmania Belgium, Pixmania France, Pixmania Austria, Pixmania UK, Pixmania Nederland, Pixmania Poland, Pixmania España,Pixmania Italia.

And here you have the links to european Amazon stores: Amazon Deutschland, Amazon UK and Amazon France

We told you that Panasonic would lower the price but I don’t believe it will become cheaper as it already is. So if you want the camera buy it ;)
