Hmm solid feel, bought it at recommended retail price at Harvey Norman.

No discount on pricing but throw in super a lot of stuff and also extended warranty and also no interest installment.

So far very please with the non existent shutter delay compared to PnS camera. Also like the solid shutter sound that it has...:thumbsup:

they threw in the extended warranty at no additional cost? How long is the extension?
which set did you buy? the one with 20mm lens one or the one with zoom lens?
 

anyone knows when the next batch of stock coming in? need it before i go overseas in nov...

SLR Revolution still has one unit of the 14-45 ver selling at $1105 with Gst Cash, with 8Gb Sdhc and Panasonic case;p
 

I need the 20mm with $200 for zoom lens kit. tx for the info though. ; D

Total 3 Yrs warranty no extra cost.

The one with the zoom lens.

Also a german brand screen protector and quite a few 8GB class 6 SD.
 

There are shops like Alan Photo or MS that sells it at a cheaper price than Panasonic's RRP here. On top of that, they have purchase on purchase scheme to buy the additional lens at a very good price. Whereas for big chain stores like Best, Harvey or Courts, they adhere strictly to the RRP, which is well, expected for big stores. But they don't have purchase on purchase schemes. We can't even buy the lens separately at retail prices.

My question is:
pricing aside, how come certain shops can have purchase on purchase schemes? Do their stock comes from the same source as the big chain stores? Is warranty covered by the same source, panasonic singapore?
 

All warranty are definitely same as long as they are from authorised dealer. (As some of them selling grey units/parallel imported ones)

Different shops/companies have different profit margins, therefore package them differently.

You'll be utterly surprised to know that prices of these big stores can be "bargained"...

Ok, how does the extended warranty works?
From what i read, the 1st year is covered by panasonic singapore. We go to them if the equipment needs servicing.

The extended warranty is covered by the store? Anything wrong, we send back to the shop? Did you ask what they will cover? and does it mean they service the equipment themselves?
 

Just to share some snapshots taken earlier today indoor (with pancake lens at F2.0) to showcase the...

Btw, I have used Manual WB to tweak it a bit warmer as AWB seems a bit too cool...
 

anyone got the price of the 14-140mm HD lens? if both body+lens ard $1800 then i might be keen (since 500D with 18-200mm lens is ard that price)
 

Think the price for the 14-140mm is around 1.3K. Currently don't think you can get it as a separate unit unless someone put it up for sale in B&S.
 

u mean its bundled only with the previosu GH1/G1 ?

is the 14-140mm from the previous models before GF1 is the same as the one i see now? as its advertising it as "made for HD Movie" since the AF has no sound...

yes. Its only bundled with GH1. G1 can't do video.

Maybe in the near future Panny might come out with one which is sold separately. Now can only get the lens if you get it with GH1. :sweat:

GF1 + 14-45: $1130
GF1 + 20: $1330
GF1 + both lens: $1530
