Hot! Panasonic GF1+20mm for $769.99 (563 €) -> ships worldwide!

We have seen many price drops on Amazon and other stores but the real deal is now on Ebay.
The Top-rated seller “Cameraland” is selling four Panasonic GF1+20mm sets for $769.99 only! That’s $110 cheaper than the current price on Amazon US
.
They ship worldwide so everyone interested in getting the camera should take a look on it.
For europeans: $769.99= 563 € -> In Germany the cheapest price is 742,99 € on Pixmania.de. So you save 180 €. I don’t know how much you have to pay for taxes if you buy in Ebay US.
UPDATE: I was told that in Italy you have to pay 25% taxes! :(
P.S.: we do not expect any Panasonic GF1 successor soon.
MicroFourThirds books in Germany and other countries.

I noticed that in Germany you can find some nice books about MicroFourThirds cameras. Now they have two new books:
The Profibuch Olympus PEN: E-P1, E-P2 & E-PL1 (Gebundene Ausgabe) and the Digital ProLine: Das praktische Handbuch zur Panasonic Lumix GF1
Other countries do not have that choice. Amazon UK lists only the Magic Lantern Guides: Olympus E-P1 (Magic Lantern Compact Guides).
The same book is available for US citizen in amazon: Magic Lantern Guides: Olympus E-P1

One more thing for German 43rumors readers. One of our readers noticed a special Panasonic rebate program on the Panasonic GH1. “Today I bought an Panasonic GH1 at may local dealer here in Germany: 1199EUR. (see this link http://www.foto-haas.de/pdf/201003_aktion.pdf -> page 5)
Regular price 1399EUR but when you bring in your old camera you get 200EUR discount. For me this was an great offer. As far as I understood my dealer right, this is an offer from Panasonic …”
I checked on Panasonic Germany but they do not mention any special rebate program. And Amazon Deutschland doesn’t show the same deal. Let me know if you find something else…Thanks!
