(UPDATED) For US citizens only, GF1 back in Stock!


The european 43rumors reader are always lucky. Almost every european country has the Panasonic GF1 (and lenses) in Stock. US 43rumors readers always have to hope to be ready for the day the GF1 is in Stock (and they only have the black GF1!).
On November 24 the amazon.com has 7 GF1+14-45mm lens will be back in Stock (sold and shipped via amazon). The GF1+20mm lens combo will be in Stock in 4-7 weeks!
The good news is that amazon has the Panasonic LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7 Lens in Stock since 10 days.
Important note: With the new 43rumors structure and design coming in January/February we will separate the news from the deals section. And inside the deals section we will have two categories for US and European stores.

Why is the GF1 in stock in Europe and out of Stock in USA?

Amazon US has the Panasonic GF1 is in Stock via third party resellers only and highly overpriced.
In this months we noticed how european stores do have Panasonic stuff always in Stock and US stores are often out of stock. Maybe because of the strong Euro Panasonic preferrs to fill the european market first? We also noticed that US stores do only list the black GF1. In european stores you can find the black-white-red-silver GF1!
Amazon Germany (you only miss the red GF1), Amazon UK, Amazon France do have almost all Panasonic GF1 in Stock!

It is a bit frustrating for US buyers!
