[ Coming Product ] : Panasonic GH2

[zan82]

Hi Zan82,

Is my GH1 body cap and len rear cap still with you or is it a goner already?
If gone then how much is the replacement cost?

Overheard at SLRR the price of a GH2 with 14-140mm lens is about SGD2780...

If as said, then the other option with the 14-42mm will be around 1.6-1.8K. Things are getting seriously expensive. :sweat:

Hey Jayce, I don't have additional caps with me, I can try to get from service side though, what is the thread size?

Folks, don't speculate about prices. Official Panasonic Singapore price -

GH2 with 14-42 lens - 1599
GH2 with 14-140 lens - 2399

Dealer pricing will be cheaper.

The dealers themselves aren't notified of this price, yet. They'd know soon

 

[Jemhadar]

I'll probably get the GH2 with 14-42 and sell the lens.
Anyone wants to buy my GH1(hacked for better video)?

 

[Bridgerock]

I'll probably get the GH2 with 14-42 and sell the lens.

Same here. Hopefully the SRP will be better at the retailers side. RRP always higher right? :think:

i wants to get the 14-140 version for video ... hope pana will bring in b4 xmas... not sure if olympus would come out with anything to lure me away but would really like to see what EP3 is capable of...

 

[Jemhadar]

Must get a GH2 after reading this...

GH2 seems to place a fair bit of it's strength on video. If I am not much of a video person, do you guys think that perhaps the G2 might be more fitting and better value? What would I be missing? better high iso in GH2; faster AF; better EVF; what else? GH2 does cost a bit more though.

Thanks for the info. 1599 is very attractive.

Hi Zicang,
The body cap is for my GH1...
The lens rear cap is the standard size one... not the front lens cap...
If that one lost I will really knock my head very hard if I didn't notice it.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Zi'ang,

When will GH2 hit the stores?

Hi Zi'ang,

When will GH2 hit the stores?

Don't call my actual name la! wah lao!

Ha, as above, next month, don't ask me for exact dates, because I'd ask you what's the winning 4D number for today and expect you to give me the answer 6 hours before the balls start rolling

 

[henry soh]

Hi, Body + 14140 = US$1500x130x1.07x115 = $2399 RRP

 

[loneWolff]

Oops,sorry zan82 about the name part.
If you want 4D numbers I can't give you now.
Don't want Singapore Pools after me again.

On Vimeo, saw these 2 clips using GH2 with the Vogts 0.95mm and a combo (20mm and 14-42mm) and very impressed with the video quality. So much better even compared to the GH13. -__-'''

Hi Bridgerock,
The videos have very nice bokeh effects, sharp and rich in colors but I won't discount the GH13 like this.
To do a justified comparsion, we have to shoot the same scene with both videos, GH13 (40Mbps) vs GH2 (24Mbps).
Btw, Nokton F0.95 is a bit of a challenge to obtain for comparsion... :cry:

 

[Bridgerock]

Yeah. The Nokton is really impressive on the GH2 and same goes to the 20mm. I guess 'bright' lenses does improves the quality of the videos though.

 

[loneWolff]

Agreed, too bad no AF. Else I will be really tempted to sell a kidney for that.

 

[Bridgerock]

-___-'''' that's really hardcore mate....But I guess in the world, there will be some lenses which are worth dying for. PP

 

[gaiusparx]

Hi, Body + 14140 = US$1500x130x1.07x115 = $2399 RRP

May I know what is 115 for? (130 = exchange rate, 1.07=GST) Thanks

 

[henry soh]

Hi bros, 15% added back to 100% = $2399
