[News] Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1

[keithwee]

The leica D Lux 7 and the Sony X100 series both have hot shoes and are both used by many for light weight on the go studio work as are many of the Fuji Ricoh Canon Nikon Olympus small cameras etc. A light weight travel portrait kit may often consists of a small body (ie the brands I mentioned above) and a couple of speed lights (or even a larger rig like the "Quadra's " I travel with) ...anyway I see your point...its just a shame... it would have cost them next to nothing to have included a flash shoe, and it would have made this camera truly "premium"...

I've the DLux 6 , use it with the Pana EVF and am more than happy with its performance so far.

Let's wait for the GM1 to reach then properly test it n see whether its worthy to be labelled as a premium camera.

Simon, you need to lose the blu tack and use black tape la!

Anyways, for comparison sake, with the 20mm behind the LF1.

TK foto just posted the Pana Christmas promo.

GM1 with 12-32mm for $999.
Freebies : 8gb + half leather case/strap + a RWS invites voucher

I'm sure 999 is RRP hence ask for street :/

I prob will get too if the prices are reasonable

anyone interested in doing a purchase from HK?
I'm waiting for price updates and if its a good 20% off SG RRP, I'll be ordering mine and getting it Fedex-ed over.

this one's for the wife, haha. To bring her into the world of MFT.
