Who's planning to get the GH1?

[Bridgerock]

Yeah. Also want to know if it will go below 2K. But do hope the other lenses will be sold independently. Its a pain to keep waiting but its not happening.

Any bro who knows the current market price, please do PM me too. Cheers. =)

Don't think the GH1 will go any lower than 2K for now. Wanted to buy one today but kinda pissed off with no stock and poor salesmanship. Prices quoted were around 2150, 2140 and 2250 from SLS, Holland V and Peninsula shops. The freebies pretty standard - one 8GB card and a bag.

Boy! GH1 and GF1 so popular meh? Panasonic prices are not-so-cheap and always out-of-stock. Kinda irritating. Who you need to screw to get these cameras? What's up with today's manufacturers. Create so much hype and no stock. @#$%!

Happened to walk into a shop and they just have two just-arrived units. Bought one for 2250. Ouch! What the hell, too lazy to wait around for god-knows-how-long. Now, an owner of the GH1 (having been waiting for this for a year liao). One tiny grumble, it's not as light as I expected. Guess I need to pump more iron. Arms lemah.

WAH LAO! So many functions. Man, have to read the manual to figure out what is what.

Now have to figure out what SD/SDHC Card to buy. So many models. Plus must buy Class 6 for video. So complex. Anyone wanna point me to a good deal of 8 or 16 GB card compatible for the GH1? Thanks. Kinda tired reading the operational guide.

Got the remote shutter DMW-RSL1 from B&H online because it's not readily available locally and couldn't wait for months even I order it thru the stores. I'm glad that the remote shutter does not need battery. Great for BULB shots as there's a bulb lock. Whenever I buy any camera, I need a remote shutter accessory. Wonder why no wireless remote shutter for the GH1. Luv wireless. Hate wires.

I thought the original DMS-RSL1 is ridiculously overpriced - bought a clone from ebay which seems to work just fine.

Yeah, I hate the wires too. And I wonder why there's no solution to command remote flashes :-( or is there?

Yeah, agree that it's way overpriced. Don't have good experience with eBay in recent times, so end up buying the expensive one. Command remote flashes? Not much into flash photography, so not aware of such remote triggers are compatible with the GH1.

Believe Cam.X , at the basement of Peninsula Shopping, has the GH1 (red colour) body only for sale.

 

[Jemhadar]

Got my GH1 yesterday from CP.
20mm F1.7 lens no stock.
7-14mm also no stock.

My 1st dslr, still reading the manual on how to use it.

 

[Jemhadar]

Btw, any GH1 user group to meet and share knowledge ?

Don't see a reason why we shouldn't organise another Micro Four Thirds gathering. Pen and Panny outing.

 

[aaron80]

I will definitely come for the gathering if there is one!
