GH3 in Stock at Amazon. And first European GH3 price drops!

Share


Lumix GH3 Minute Movie – Hertz (via Dpreview).

Yesterdays Amazon had a few GH3 cameras in Stock that sold out after a few minutes. Now they have again new GH3 cameras in Stock via third party resellers (Click here to grabe one). Amazon itself will have them in Stock on April 11. Nine more cameras are in Stock at [shoplink 37731 ebay]Kenmorecamera (Click here)[/shoplink].

European GH3 price drops:
And there is a good news for Europeans too. James sent me the following email: “Just wanted to let you know that I live in the UK and phoned my camera supplier today to see if they had any GH3s in stock. I was astonished because they were advertising it for £950 (has been £1200!) and he told me that Panasonic were dropping the price at the beginning of April and he was receiving new stock next week. The website is http://fotosense.co.uk. They are a trusted supplier that sell through Amazon UK, although best price is direct.”
And in Germany the price fell down the 1000 Euro barrier in Germany (see Idealo). Same price drop in Greek stores.

(FT5) G6 coming along the mysterious new camera in late April.

Share

Small rumor correction. Next Tuesday Panasonic will announce the GF6 but the other MFT camera, the G6 is going to be anno,unced in late April! And that’s also when we will see the other camera that I have been told will be the  “first of anew series of camera“. This really could be the high end compact camera. I have no clue what else we could expect :)

Imay ask my anonymous sources if they can send me exactly:
1) The hour when the GF6 will be announced (so that I can make a nice countdown on 43rumors)
2) Announcement date for the G6 and the “new kind of camera”.

Thanks!

GF6 pictures roundup. And do you like it?

Share

As you know Techradar accidentally posted the full GF6 preview. I have been requested by them to remove the images and links to their site. But apparently they only asked me to do that because right now you can see the images at Google, Dpreview forum, PetaPixel, Cnet and Photorumors. And the full review is on google cache. Until they are there everyone will post them!

So, I guess now that you saw the images we can talk about the specs:
– 16 megapixel sensor
– New VENUS Engine
– WIFI and NFC
– tilting 180-degree touchscreen
– Price £449 (around $670) with the normal 14-42mm kit zoom.

 

Do you like the new GF6?

(FT3) Panasonic High End Compact camera to come within one month?

Share

Strong competition for the Panasonic high end compact.

–

I still have no confirmation from trusted sources but I am getting multiple mails from anonymous sources saying that the “mysterious” new Panasonic camera that is coming end of April may be a High End compact camera with larger (FT?) sensor. Apparently some of the sources talked with Panasonic managers and they all said the GX2 is not coming yet. Anyway, until trusted sources cannot confirm this I cannot guarantee that this may be a tactic from Panasonic to spread false rumors :) test

Anyway, if the rumor is correct than Panasonic really has to reinvent the wheel to focus against the competition. Nikon just released the very compact  Nikon Coolpix A (specs here). Pentax the cheap Pentax MX-1 (Specs here). Sony has the tiny RX100 (specs here) and the best in the class almost cetrainly is the Fuji X100s (specs here).

ThePhoBlographer tested the latter and wrote: “In all honesty, this camera’s RAW file performance had me looking at my Olympus OMD EM5 and thinking to myself that its raw files just weren’t up to standard. Indeed, the Sony sensor inside the OMD far outperformed by the X100s. Granted, that is a Micro Four Thirds sensor, but it is one of the best in the mirrorless camera segment.”

As I told you, Panasonic has to reinvent the wheel to be successful in that segment!
